The British Grand Prix, which returned to the Northamptonshire circuit in 2010, is marking 75 years of racing.

There are three days of track activities culminating in Sunday's finals (Sunday 3rd August).

The 10th round of the MotoGP season features practicing for the bike riders over two days, then qualifying sessions from Saturday afternoon.

Every bike and rider on the grid will race with a special, one-off livery with a touch of retro style, special edition vintage paintwork. It's to mark the 75th anniversary. There’s also a retro bikes exhibition during the weekend.

Meantime, evening entertainment features a Sigma DJ set on Friday, The Kooks on Saturday, and The Darkness on Sunday.
