Known for
The Red Bull Racing factory (just outside town), the motorsport valley connection, Silverstone nearby, and a South Northamptonshire market town at the heart of Britain's Formula 1 industry
A little history
Brackley is at the epicentre of the UK's motorsport industry — Red Bull Racing's factory is on the edge of town, and Mercedes F1 is nearby at Brackley too. The town itself is a quiet market town with a medieval street plan, utterly contrasting with the high-tech industry surrounding it.
The Red Bull and Mercedes F1 factories are on the outskirts — you can drive past and spot the transporters. Silverstone is 10 minutes away for race days. The town centre for quiet market town character completely at odds with its F1 fame.
