We’ve hosted some big names, but this one is legendary. Nigel Mansell. Red 5. The Lion. A British motorsport icon who conquered the world of Formula One in 1992, following it up as IndyCar World Series Champion in 1993. The only driver ever to win both in back-to-back seasons. Thirty-one Grand Prix wins to his name, 59 podiums, 32 poles, and 30 fastest laps, he remains the second most successful British F1 driver of all time, only behind seven-time champion Lewis Hamilton—some stat.
The moustache that terrified rivals. The elbows that took no prisoners. And next year at the 2026 British Grand Prix, he’s staying with us. All weekend long.
Nigel and his guests will be calling The Pop Up Hotel home at Silverstone. Not just a quick wave hello. This is full immersion in Mansell mania. You’ll find Nigel popping up across the weekend with moments you won’t get anywhere else.
Get ready for:
- Live Q&As that go deep into his wildest racing stories
- Hosted dinners where Nigel brings literal magic
- His famous winning cars up close and personal
- Rare artwork and memorabilia from the vault
- Special guests from Nigel’s F1 world joining the fun
- Surprise tricks and showmanship only he can deliver
Mansell’s career has enough drama for a Hollywood script. The titles. The fights. The poles that stood as records for over a decade. The heroic comeback in 1994 after the loss of Ayrton Senna, ending with a brilliant win at Adelaide. Even the time he ignored a black flag and earned himself a ban. You could never accuse him of being boring.
He’s raced for the most historic teams in F1 history, from Lotus to Williams, Ferrari and McLaren. He’s raced against legends and beaten them. He’s raced until the world knew his name. He’s even raced and won after F1 in the Grand Prix Masters series. Now he’s racing into Silverstone with us.
This is your chance to experience the 2026 British Grand Prix with Nigel Mansell as your neighbour. Your host and storyteller. We can’t think of a more iconic place for “il leone” to return home to than with us on Hangar Straight, trackside at The Pop Up Hotel.
