125,000 spectators last month experienced thrilling Formula One racing with Electro-Voice at Silverstone. In addition to a fixed installation above the victors’ rostrum, the production involved the provision of sound reinforcement for the fringe programme. The solutions featured XLC-DVX line-array elements with FIR Drive, Xsubs and TG7 power amplifiers.
Silverstone is as integral a part of the history of Formula One as the tyres are of the racing cars themselves; it was, after all, at this 6km course in 1950 that the first ever Formula One race was staged, and the Northamptonshire track has remained ever since one of the preferred venues for major events.
