This time Lapierre was co-driven by [[Stéphane Sarrazin]]. Audi were third with the R15 TDI of Capello and [[Timo Bernhard]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.ultimatecarpage.com/event/248/2010-Le-Mans-Series-Silverstone-1000-km-ILMC.html |title=2010 Le Mans Series Silverstone 1000 km (ILMC) – Report and Slideshow |website=Ultimatecarpage.com |access-date=8 July 2013}}</ref>

The 2011 6 Hours of Silverstone witnessed a nose-to-tail fight between the Audi R18 of Bernhard and Fässler and the Peugeot 908 of [[Sébastien Bourdais]] and [[Simon Pagenaud]], but was temporarily finished after a spin by Bernhard. A conservative drive from Pagenaud saw him caught and then overtaken by Fässler. Pagenaud picked up the pace and the two cars were on each other's tails until the end of the fourth hour when damaged rear bodywork needed replacing on the Audi. This gave the Peugeot a one-minute advantage that it did not give up. Third was the [[OAK Racing]]'s Pescarolo 01 piloted by [[Olivier Pla]] and [[Alexandre Prémat]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.ultimatecarpage.com/event/282/2011-Le-Mans-Series-6-Hours-of-Silverstone-ILMC.html |title=2011 Le Mans Series 6 Hours of Silverstone (ILMC) – Report and Slideshow |website=Ultimatecarpage.com |access-date=8 July 2013}}</ref>

The opening round of the 2013 World Endurance Championship saw Audi Sport Team Joest dominating. The race soon developed into a pattern of two Audi R18 e-tron quattros followed by two Toyota TS030 Hybrids and backed up by two Rebellion Lola B12/60s. Audis had a better early stage of the race when the Toyota's tyres did not work well, and by the middle of the race they were securely leading the race by one lap. McNish was behind Tréluyer by more than 20 seconds with some 15 laps to go. But McNish (partnered by Kristensen and [[Loïc Duval]]), and motivated to win the [[RAC Tourist Trophy]] award for the race, closed the gap and overtook Tréluyer (supported by Lotterer and Fässler) two laps before the finish. The podium was completed the Toyota of Davidson/Sarrazin/[[Sébastien Buemi]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.racingsportscars.com/news.html |title=News |publisher=Racing Sports Cars |date=3 December 2011 |access-date=8 July 2013}}</ref>

Aprilia Racing's [[Eugene Laverty]] followed home for second place, with Crescent Suzuki's [[Leon Camier]] third. Race 2 started dry but deteriorated to treacherously damp by mid-race.

The escalating costs of the British Grand Prix led to the BRDC triggering a [[break clause]] in their contract, meaning that the 2019 British Grand Prix would be the last at the Silverstone Circuit. Although there was speculation of a street race in London, lengthy negotiations with Liberty Media led to a new agreement for Silverstone to continue to host the British Grand Prix for a further five years after 2019.<ref>{{cite web |date=10 July 2019 |title=F1 announce British GP at Silverstone is saved with new five-year deal {{!}} British Grand Prix |url=https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2019/jul/10/f1-poised-announce-british-grand-prix-silverstone-saved-motor-sport |access-date=4 January 2022 |website=The Guardian}}</ref>
