Industry
Brackley is close to the Silverstone motor racing circuit, and has some industry related to Formula One racing, notably Mercedes Grand Prix (formerly Brawn GP, Honda, British American Racing and Tyrrell) which is based in the town, and the Force India F1 team which operates a wind tunnel on the former site of the north railway station. On the east outskirts of the town is H. Bronnley & Co., makers of hand-made soaps who hold Royal Warrants of Appointment for supplying Queen Elizabeth II and the Prince of Wales.
