- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“We have concluded that the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.”
Significant events
- “In early 2024, an eleven-year contract was signed with Formula One World Championship Ltd to host the British Grand Prix at Silverstone until 2034.”
- “The exceptional item in the current year relates to a payment from the construction company in settlement of works performed in a prior year (2023 relates to the release of a provision against amounts due from the parent company).”
- “The company was engaged in litigation with the supplier who installed the track works in 2018. The litigation was settled in the company's favour in March 2024.”

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. The comparison is only shown when the latest and prior accounts cover broadly equal-length periods — short or long stubs (typical around incorporation or a year-end change) are suppressed rather than misrepresented. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
