Rea and Toseland inaugurate new Silverstone Wing

Two current World Superbike stars of the calibre of Jonathan Rea (Castrol Honda) and James Toseland (BMW Motorrad Italia SBK Team) yesterday took part in the official inauguration of the “Silverstone Wing”, the new pitlane structure that will help to change the face of the historic British circuit.

Measuring 390 metres in length, the Silverstone Wing includes a totally new pit-lane area (41 new garages and a surface area covering 6,200 square metres), spectator and hospitality zones, a 2,780 square metre Media Centre and a new race control tower.

The striking pit and paddock design is another important stepping stone in the redevelopment of Silverstone into Britain’s premier racing circuit.

The Silverstone Wing was given the seal of approval by Jonathan Rea and James Toseland amongst other famous figures from the worlds of two and four wheels, and will be fully operational in time for the FIM Superbike World Championship round on 29-31 July.
