The new pit and paddock complex at Silverstone is on the verge of completion.
Having secured a 17-year deal to host the British GP, the British Racing Drivers' Club commissioned the construction of a £27million 'wing' that is made up of hospitality suites, a media centre and a new spectator area, 41 garages, the race control building and the podium.
"It's been a bit of a rollercoaster getting here but we are finally up and running," BRDC president Damon Hill told Radio 4's Today programme.
"This year's grand prix and all the major international events will take place using the new facility.
"Silverstone has got a right to a permanent place on the calendar and so we hope this is a long-term thing that will make the circuit smart," he added.
