A fast kink in the road between Abbey and Village, it gets its name from being close to a nearby farm. When racing first commenced at Silverstone in the 1940s, the farms were a bit of a problem. Sheep would often wander onto the circuit and at the first race in 1947, one was hit by a car at speed. The race was informally known as the \u2018Mutton Grand Prix\u2019 amongst racers from then on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The current Farm Curve is the first deviation from the circuit as it was in 2009 before a reconfiguration took place. New corners were added from Abbey through to Brooklands at turn 6.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/motorsporttickets.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/dmc0316jy14.jpg\" alt=\"A village sign for Silverstone Village.\" class=\"wp-image-1672\" width=\"840\" height=\"560\" srcset=\"https:\/\/motorsporttickets.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/dmc0316jy14.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/motorsporttickets.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/dmc0316jy14-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/motorsporttickets.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/dmc0316jy14-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 840px) 100vw, 840px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Quaint Silverstone Village by which the circuit gets its name.<br>Copyright: Motorsport Images<br><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Turn 3: Village<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Village is named after the small Silverstone Village, by which the track gets its name.
