Silverstone Corner Names
Being one of the classic tracks on the calendar, the corners at Silverstone have names as well as numbers, but some of the names aren’t particularly unique.
Tumblr media
Hamilton Straight
The pit straight was named the Hamilton Straight in honour of Lewis Hamilton in December 2020, it’s the only part of the circuit named after a person.
Abbey (Turn 1)
The first corner of the modern F1 layout is one of two corners named after Luffield Abbey, the remains of which were discovered just north-east of the circuit.
Farm (Turn 2)
A pretty boring name, and pretty self explanatory as well - this area of the track used to pass by a nearby farm.
Village (Turn 3)
Not particularly creative, this corner commemorates the very old village adjacent to the circuit.
The Loop (Turn 4)
This corner is quite simply named for its shape, a long left-handed open hairpin which is the slowest on the F1 layout.
Aintree (Turn 5)
Aintree is mostly known for its racecourse with horses and the Grand National, but this corner was actually named after the Aintree motor racing circuit. It hosted five British Grand Prix in the 1950s and 60s.
Wellington Straight
This straight takes its name from the Wellington bombers that were based at the Northamptonshire circuit during World War Two. Fittingly this section of the straight is formed from one of the old runways.
Brooklands (Turn 6)
Another corner with a historical motorsport link, Brooklands is named after the 1907 circuit near Weybridge in Surrey which was the world’s first purpose-built race track, although it has not been used for racing since 1939.
Luffield (Turn 7)
The second of two corners named after Luffield Abbey.
Woodcote (Turn 8)
This corner is named after a stately home in Surrey (Woodcote Park), this home happens to be owned by the RAC (Royal Automobile Club) who organised the first major races at Silverstone and as such named a few corners.
Copse (Turn 9)
One of the fastest corners in the second sector of the lap, its name pays tribute to the woods around Silverstone.
Maggotts (Turn 10/11)
Arguably one of the best corner sequences on the circuit, Maggotts is named after the nearby Maggot Moor, although the spelling is different.
Becketts and Chapel (Turns 12-14)
Following rapidly on from the previous kink, so quickly that the two are usually referred to together as Maggotts and Becketts, followed by Chapel Curve. The last two come from another nearby former religious building, the Chapel of St Thomas A Becket.
Hangar Straight
A tribute to Silverstone’s past as a Royal Air Force station. Two of the largest aircraft hangars stood next to the circuits back straight, giving it its name.
Stowe (Turn 15)
This corner draws its name from a private school two miles away from the track.
Vale (Turn 16)
There are two reasons behind this name; the first being that it is the hilliest part of an otherwise flat track the other being that it is after the district of Aylesbury Vale in which Silverstone sits.
Club (Turn 17/18)
The RAC’s clubhouse in central London gives what is now the final corner its name. The iconic gold trophy awarded to winners of the British Grand Prix is the RAC Cup and is the oldest prize awarded in F1 racing.

Old Jonathan Bailey Interview for South Downs (2012)
Tumblr media
At the time of the interview, Jonathan Bailey was appearing as Jeremy Duffield in South Downs, which is part of a Double Bill with The Browning Version playing at the Harold Pinter Theatre until July 2012. “They’re two gems that are quite simple but also great writing, two brilliant stories that are really moving, that are told, I think, touch wood, really well.”
Jonathan has many television credits to his name including playing the lead role of Leonardo da Vinci in BBC1’s Leonardo. He has also performed with the Royal Shakespeare Company, playing Prince Arthur in King John.
Jonathan took some time out from his busy schedule to answer some questions about himself and his career. Enjoy!
You were born in Aylesbury Vale, Oxfordshire. What was it like growing up there? I was born in a village called Benton in Oxfordshire and it was typical village life. I went to the local C of E Primary School, and grew up with my three sisters, Mum and Dad. It was good that you could just have friends in walking distance at that sort of age and basically just make mud pies in the street. It wasn’t however particularly productive for performing arts.
What memories do you have of performing in school productions? I remember one role where I was playing a raindrop in the story of Noah and his Ark. I also remember playing a shepherd in the nativity when I was about four.
Where did you train and how did that prepare you for a career on the stage? Well I didn’t go to drama school. I started acting when I was really young, about seven in The Christmas Carol at the Barbican in London. They sent out the casting director to the suburbs to find cast and I remember singing ‘Where is Love’ in the church, not really aware of who it was for, and my parents definitely had no idea. After that I had an agent and came within the structure and the rules of not missing school. I managed to do either a play or a little bit of TV during the summer holidays. I was super lucky. Although I think drama school is really important I don’t believe there’s a right or wrong way of becoming an actor. If I hadn’t had the experiences of working with other actors at a young age I don’t think I would have gone to drama school as those opportunities enthused me and made me passionate about drama. I learnt quite a lot on the job and was able to take risks when playing parts. So yeah I didn’t go to drama school but everything worked out okay.
You have numerous television credits to your name including Channel 4’s Campus, BBC3’s Pramface and BBC1’s Leonardo, where you play the lead role of Leonardo da Vinci. What has been your favourite television role to date and why? I have just got back from Cape Town where we have been recording the BBC’s Leonardo. Playing Leonardo da Vinci himself is very special. There’s also a lot of cool stuff to do such as artwork on stage, fighting with weapons etc. So actually it’s a bit of playground as the props and the sets they created are excellent.
What do you like most about recording in front of a camera? You can do the take again and I like that you’ve got downtime in between. I quite like the idea that you get to do it and then it’s there and you can’t really do anything about it. On stage if you do something wrong you can’t make it right for that performance but you can make it right for the next performance. I quite enjoy that.
Where did you make your professional stage debut and what was the role? Well, on paper it’s playing Prince Arthur in King John for the RSC, and that was when I was about 15 I think. I think that was the first time that I was totally aware of what I was doing.
How would you describe performing in the RSC? It was great. Everyone was so on top of what they were doing. I remember it was quite physically challenging. There’s also a lot of work vocally and I remember having bits of plastic in my cheek to try and get the pronunciation right. The company of people all work together as a unit and it was a great experience.
Following a successful run at Chichester, South Downs is transferring as part of a Double Bill with The Browning Version, to the Harold Pinter Theatre in the West End. What can you tell us about South Downs and about your character Jeremy Duffield, and how he fits into the storyline? Both the plays are set in Public Schools. For the Browning Version, Terrence Rattigan wrote about his time at Harrow. Dave Hare was asked by the Terrence Rattigan Estate to write a play to be performed alongside The Browning Version as a Double Bill. South Downs is based on his time at Lancing College and culminates in an act of kindness by a student’s mother. John Blakemore is set apart by the fact that his forefathers hadn’t gone to public school and he doesn’t come from a typical public school family. He is a scholar but he refuses to conform as he considers the environment of the public school to be just a game. There are rules of a very strict hierarchy with the prefects essentially running the day to day matters of the school. Basically John goes to the housemaster with a problem and that’s just not the way the game should be played. A prefect is brought in, Jeremy Duffield, the chap I play, to sort out this precocious boy. John is really suffering and he’s questioning things like why he’s not allowed to wear a CND badge, when everyone else is allowed to wear a crucifix. He’s also considering why his friends all just shut up and listen in class when they don’t fully understand. Jeremy tries to protect him, and fight his corner but the big act of generosity comes from Jeremy’s mother within a conversation and then it sort of plays out nicely.
South Downs is written by David Hare and The Browning Version by Terrence Rattigan. What unites these two plays and what sets them apart? Well they fit together because of that act of kindness. South Downs is from a boy’s perspective. The Browning Version is from the master’s perspective and how the master doesn’t get the respect that he deserves.
How do these two plays compare with your own school days? I think the idea that boys will be boys is an interesting one in South Downs and there’s so much detail. The fact that David Hare based the characters on his school days makes them so real. They’re so typical to anyone who has been to a public school. But for me, specifically similarly to John Blakemore, I had to get a scholarship to go to the school my parents wanted me to go. But there were many differences in the way that the public schools were run in the early sixties where for example there were no locks on the bathroom showers and boys were often forced to swim naked. These things just wouldn’t happen now.  But I think I can relate more to the character and the situation and the feeling of going into a school where you haven’t grown up with the boys that otherwise would have grown up together and gone to prep school and that initial feeling of being an outsider and having to fit in and find out who you are.
There are many plays and musicals to see in the West End, why should theatregoers come and see these two plays? These two plays have some incredible performances and so it’s theatre at its best where people are working hard and they’re putting on plays that are essentially laid quite bare. They’re two gems that are quite simple but also great writing, two brilliant stories that are really moving, that are told, I think, touch wood, really well.
You have a range of roles on your CV including for the RSC, CBBC, regional theatre and the West End. Do you have a particular career path in mind or is diversity the key? I think diversity is the key. I haven’t reached the time yet where I would say yes or no to anything, everything needs to be considered.
The forthcoming run at the Harold Pinter Theatre ends in July, what plans do you have for the remainder of 2012? I’m going to be filming a new comedy for the BBC from the writers of Sherlock before Christmas, that’s been commissioned. So that’s going to be quite hard marketing that whilst in a play. It should be a nice challenge and there is a play that is in the pipeline and if that comes off I’ll be really excited.
What would you consider to be your strengths as an actor? I really enjoy the moments where something goes wrong and I need to improvise and that gives me the ability to act as a ‘safety net’.
What do you like to do away from the stage? I recently bought a mountain bike, so some cycling, walking, going to Cornwall, surfing. And I’m also studying a course with the Open University because I didn’t go to an arts school. I had a place in it which I decided to surrender having deferred twice.
What message would you like say to your supporters? Come and see the play and experience it and see what you think.

Leah's brother plays for Aylesbury Vale Dynamos. https://www.aylesburyvaledynamos.co.uk/teams/77541/player/jacob-williamson-2996342
They are non-professional and nowhere close to the Premier League in the football pyramid. Unless he's a once in a generation player like Jamie Vardy or Ian Wright who makes it to the Premier League later in life, he has no chance of even becoming a professional player, much less a Premier League player.
Oh thanks for the link

In Ice: A terrifying, twisty, serial killer thriller by David Sivers (.DI Nathan Quarrel #2)
Every action has a consequence…
‘As dark, gritty and chilling as it gets.  Keep the lights on!’ – Liz Mistry
An anonymous call leads DI Nathan Quarrel and his team to a secluded house in a Hertfordshire village and a horrific discovery: three chest freezers containing the naked bodies of five women. As the painstaking business of identifying the apparently unconnected victims gets underway, it becomes frighteningly clear that a sadistic serial killer has been at work, probably over a long period of time.   no strong suspects, and no leads, unmasking the killer takes on a new urgency. Because the discoveries at what the media is calling a 'house of horrors' may not stop the killer, or even slow them down. Indeed, they may already have targeted their next victim.
Book Link: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0BMGHSLWK
My Review: The blurb played a relevant role in choosing to take part to this blog tour. It was intriguing and I wanted to read this story even if it promised to borderline for my comfort zone. I followed my gut feeling and thoroughly enjoyed this twisty, dark, and solid police procedural. It’s the second in a series and, even if I’m sure I wll read the first in this series, it can be read as a stand-alone. It starts with a bang and always keeps you on the edge, there’s alwas a sense of dread as you know something is going to to happen and it won’t be nice. The investigating team and their story are well plotted and I want to read more about them. There empathy towards the victims and the author did a good job in not turning the killer in a sort of anti hero. The author is a good storyteller and kept my attention alive and managed to change POV without confusing the reader. Strongly recommended. Many thanks to David Sivers and Heather Fitt for this digital copy, all opinions are mine.
The Author:
Dave Sivers grew up in West London and has been writing all his life. His books include the popular crime series featuring the Aylesbury Vale detectives, DI Lizzie Archer and DS Dan Baines.
