Questions about this circuit
Circuits · 5 min read
Why doesn't the WEC race at Silverstone anymore?
The WEC last raced at [Silverstone](/circuits/silverstone) in September 2019 and has not returned since. The 6 Hours of Silverstone hosted 8 WEC rounds between 2012 and 2019, making it the championship's longest-running British venue. The 2019 race produced one of the WEC's most controversial results when both Toyota TS050 Hybrids were stripped of their finishing positions in a post-race technical inspection, handing the win to a Rebellion Racing privateer that had finished a lap down. The fixture was dropped from the 2020 calendar and never reinstated.
