It’s looking likely that the second 2016 in-season test will be held at Silverstone following the British Grand Prix.

During 2016 there will be two test sessions for Formula One teams.

The first will take place at Barcelona in the week after the Spanish Grand Prix, but the destination of the second test was unknown.

Due to the 2016 calendar, Austria, who hosted a test last year is unable to do so this year, whilst logistical issues will probably rule out Bahrain.

That leaves Silverstone as one of a few viable options.

‘Our Head of Events is currently in discussion with Formula 1 and the teams to finalise details of the test in the week immediately following the British Grand Prix.

‘It is our intention to open this to the public but, again, this would be subject to approval by F1.’
Silverstone’s Head of Marketing and Communications Katie Tyler told motorsport.com.
