Silverstone have announced a provisional date of Sunday, August 31 for their 2014 MotoGP round.

Following a record-breaking crowd of 73,000 for raceday last weekend, the track - which is in the process of being sold - will again play host to the championship in the last weekend of August.

“We’ve seen record crowds over the three days at Silverstone and have been treated to some sensational racing. Scott Redding rode a phenomenal race to win in Moto2 and it was fantastic to see a British rider on the top step of the podium," said track boss Richard Phillips.

"The MotoGP race was also a real thriller between Lorenzo and Marquez. We’ve had fantastic weather and the fans’ support has been tremendous all weekend. They’ve really played their part in making this year’s British Grand Prix one of the best in years.”
