The opportunity to experience the 2025 British Grand Prix at the iconic Silverstone circuit alongside one of Formula 1’s greatest legends, Sir Jackie Stewart, has been revealed – and it’s expected to fetch up to $100,000 at auction.
F1 fans can bid on the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity at the Bonhams auction during the Miami Grand Prix weekend.
The ultimate motorsport experience with Sir Jackie Stewart
The exclusive weekend package, which has been donated by Stewart’s charity, Race Against Dementia, begins on Thursday, 3 July.
The winning bidder will enjoy a private dinner at Sir Jackie’s countryside home in England, which is where they will stay with a guest for four nights.
On Friday, 4 July, the guests will attend the track with VIP Paddock passes. They will be able to take part in high-adrenaline hot laps of the Silverstone circuit with a professional driver before they head to the Paddock Club hospitality to watch all of the on-track action.
Sir Jackie Stewart will join the lucky bidders on Saturday. After arriving at the track by helicopter with Sir Jackie, the fans will have exclusive garage tours. Race day will also start with the same helicopter transportation, and the bidders will have access to the prestigious British Racing Drivers’ Club Suite and a private tour of FIA Race Control, and the Safety Car Garage.

The weekend doesn’t end there, though. To round it all off, the highest bidders will return to Stewart’s countryside home via helicopter and will join the three-time champion for a private dinner. The experience concludes with breakfast on Monday, July 7.
If the winning bidder is based overseas, the experience will include business-class return flights to the UK.
Race Against Dementia
The exceptional auction opportunity supports Sir Jackie Stewart’s charity, Race Against Dementia, which he founded after his wife Helen was diagnosed with dementia about ten years ago.
While speaking with F1.com in May 2023, Stewart explained:
“The reason that Race Against Dementia was created was because of Helen.
“Sadly, Helen’s got dementia and I really didn’t know a thing about dementia before that. Currently, more than 55 million people have got dementia around the world and there’s no cure for it. So, when I found all that out, I said we’ve got to do something about it. My involvement in making motor racing safer caused an awful lot of trouble at the time because there were an awful lot of people that didn’t want to hear about it.
“The same thing started to happen with dementia. Now it’s totally acceptable, it’s never been more recognised than it is today, it’s totally global now. The latest statistics tell us that, unless something is done, for everybody born today, 1 in 3 will die with dementia.”
The auction will take place on May 3 at the Miami International Autodrome. The Silverstone British Grand Prix 2025 experience with Sir Jackie Stewart is expected to fetch a whopping £61,000 – £76,000 ($80,000 – $100,000).
