Stuart Pringle’s Surprising Recognition
In an exciting twist worthy of a high-speed chase, Stuart Pringle, the CEO of Silverstone Race Circuit, has just received an OBE as part of this year’s 2026 New Year Honours List. Let’s be honest; the only thing more thrilling than a lap around Silverstone is the news that Pringle’s contributions to motorsport have been officially recognized!

The Man Behind the Wheel
Having been part of Silverstone’s leadership team since 2006, Pringle is no stranger to the motorsport world. He first rubbed elbows with the elite as the club secretary for the British Racing Drivers’ Club (BRDC) and has been steering the ship since becoming CEO in 2017. His leadership ensured that the infamous British MotoGP round remains a part of the racing calendar. Clearly, Pringle knows how to get some serious horsepower going!
More than Just an Individual
When asked about the accolade, Stuart said, “I am deeply honoured to receive this recognition.” But let’s not forget the unsung heroes behind him; he credited his world-class team. Motorsport isn’t just about the glamorous podium finishes, but also the dedication and sweat poured in by each member of the team. Pringle’s adventures include riding a BMW K75 across America—talk about living life on the open road!
So, congratulations to Stuart Pringle, a well-deserved honor for a racing legend who is revving up the world of motorsport one accolade at a time!
