Silverstone VIP Lounge By Numbers
At the British Grand Prix, our exclusive VIP Arrivals Lounge is an elegant and relaxing way to arrive at Silverstone, the home of motor racing.
This year was our busiest since we began in 2008 and once they had caught their breath, our friendly Operations Team totted up some fun facts and figures from the weekend.
One VIP Arrivals Lounge
Exclusive to clients of Atlas Helicopters, this is a wonderful way to arrive at Silverstone for the F1™ weekend. You can find all the details here and book your charter using the exclusive quote generator below.
World Champion With Two Teams
We were lucky enough to fly Lewis Hamilton to his first British Grand Prix at Silverstone and have followed his career with delight. Not only has he become World Champion with two teams, but he also wants to become a helicopter pilot.
Three Day Event
There is a tremendous party atmosphere across the whole of the Silverstone weekend. To get the best of both worlds some clients shuttle in each day from nearby luxury hotels, these can be up to 50 miles away. There is a great selection of hospitality options around the Silverstone circuit and our friendly Operations Team can arrange everything for you.
Four Hostesses
You’ll always receive a warm welcome at our VIP lounge and if you need refreshment there’s a fine selection available throughout the day.

In 2019 Lewis Hamilton was on his way to a 6th Drivers’ Championship and in doing so won his 6th British Grand Prix. Will he make it 7 & 7 in 2020?

12 metres of Cocktail Sausages & a baker’s dozen of scones (x18)
14 Cases of Hambledon Sparkling Wine
This addition to the VIP lounge has been very well received. Hambledon Vineyard’s sparkling wine is winning awards while beating its French cousins, and everyone who has a sip always comments on the taste and flavours. They are a Hampshire vineyard and form part of our Helicopter Connoisseur Tour.
15 members of the Ground Crew
The whole weekend relies on them and without their teamwork and dedication to detail, we wouldn’t be able to supply our clients with this VIP service.
A 16 Seat Helicopter
The largest aircraft that landed during the weekend. Ideal if you want you whole party to arrive simultaneously, our fleet option is more suitable if they are flying from different locations.
17 Strong Helicopter Fleet (Call sign Yellow)
A fact for the aviation buffs!
