Silverstone's Lap of Lights have returned for a second year this year but have rebranded from "Lap Land" to "Lap of Lights". The idea is still the same in that drivers drive around the Silverstone Circuit to see different light displays. This year had different displays to last year with an "around the world" theme where visitors tour through Europe, the U.S.A., Asia, and the Arctic. For last year's photographs and write-up, see: Silverstone Lap Land.
The start of the light trail depicted Europe with London buses, Italian and French cars parked along the track, a lit-up Eiffel Tower, a replica of the Italian job heist with Minis along the track, and snowglobes with different Italian cities depicted inside them.
This continued to the U.S.A. with different scenes inside and on the side of large trucks.
From here, we continued through some light displays with moving lights.
We saw some lit-up pyramids and Chinese-style lanterns and colourful lights that changed into different colours.
From here, we went down the main straight where there were different colours of lights on the ground, in the air, and smoke machines.
The end of the trail brought the Arctic and Santa waving from a log cabin.
Since there aren't any restrictions this year, we could visit the Lodge in the main building at Silverstone where live music was set up alongside street food, a bar, and other activities (axe-throwing, ice skating, etc).
