Really like the artists impressions of the new pit lane! Should look really distinctive when it's done.

I have just noticed that they have taken away some grandstands from the old pit straight and luffield A has gone.........

From those pics it looks like the pit entry is on the outside of Vale, rather than the inside of Club as shown in the layout pic. That means two slow-ish corners are missed.
Are they still using the old pit complex for other formulas like BTCC, as they don't normally use that end of the circuit?
The pit lane entry means going straight on at Vale. The tarmac for it was down before last years F1 event.
I belive this new pit lane will be used for anything using that part of the track. If BTCC decides to use the half of the track that uses the new pits then they will.
Also, as with the Abu Dhabi track, Silverstone can now be split into 2 fully independent circuits which can be used at the same time.
