The Vale, a new ultra-premium hospitality venue at Silverstone, represents a major architectural upgrade for Formula 1. Designed by Flux Nexus founder Levi Jack Sibthorpe, the two-level structure features a 10m cantilever roof over the track, 35 art installations, and over 100 furniture pieces. Built in weeks using an 8m-tall aluminium space frame, it houses La Bombe by Trivet restaurant and a rooftop terrace. The venue launched during the 2026 British Grand Prix, which drew 564,000 fans—the largest F1 event ever—and saw Charles Leclerc win his first Silverstone victory.
