Copyright BelmondAn independent luxury service · British Grand Prix Weekend 2028
A private, family-friendly rail journey from London to the heart of the 2028 British motor racing weekend — chartered trains, private carriages and seamless onward transfers. Designed for families who want the thrill of the race without the stress of the road.
Concept
Race weekend at Silverstone is one of the great occasions in the British summer. Getting there shouldn't feel like the toughest lap of all.
Grand Prix Train brings together private and chartered rail travel from London to stations near the circuit, with chauffeured or coach transfers on to the gates. The result is a journey that becomes part of the experience — somewhere children can move freely, grandparents can travel in comfort, and the adults can begin the celebration the moment the doors close.
Bringing motor racing forward as a proper family occasion — and giving the journey there the same sense of theatre as the race itself.
