RAC Tourist Trophy to be awarded to 6 Hours of Silverstone winners

The FIA World Endurance Championship is set to return to the iconic Silverstone Circuit for the 6 Hours of Silverstone in 2027. This historic venue, which hosted the series annually from 2012 to 2019, will once again be the stage for the prestigious Tourist Trophy, a historic award that recognizes excellence in engineering and endurance racing. As the series enjoys a golden age with record participation from major automotive brands, the return to the 'Home of British Motorsport' is seen as a perfect alignment of tradition and the future. With the addition of manufacturers like Ford and McLaren to the Hypercar and LMGT3 grids, the event is expected to attract significant global interest and provide a landmark moment in the championship's ongoing growth.
