Northamptonshire Police has thanked spectators at the British Grand Prix after what it described as a "virtually crime-free" weekend.
In all there were 13 crimes recorded at the event (compared with 12 in 2016) from Thursday to Sunday, with seven arrests made.
It's estimated more than 300,000 people attended the Silverstone circuit over the weekend.
Away from the track, police say their operation also included patrolling campsites and the surrounding road network.

"I'd like to thank all my officers who have helped make this a safe and enjoyable weekend and thanks to the racegoers themselves - the vast majority of whom have been extremely understanding of some of the slight additional delays brought on by the raised security.
"They made up a brilliant crowd and created a great atmosphere."
Officers from Northamptonshire were supported by colleagues from Thames Valley, Hampshire, Leicestershire, West Midlands, Lincolnshire and Nottinghamshire forces.
The East Midlands Ambulance Service (EMAS), Northamptonshire Fire and Rescue Service and the Army also helped out.

Lewis Hamilton wins record-equalling fifth British GPpublished at 09:34 British Summer Time 17 July 2017
BBC SportLewis Hamilton took a dominant victory at Silverstone to tie the all-time record of five career wins in the British Grand Prix.
The Mercedes driver equalled the tally of Scot Jim Clark and Frenchman Alain Prost with his fourth home win in a row to add to his first win for McLaren in 2008.
Hamilton's victory cut his deficit to Ferrari's Sebastian Vettel to just one point in the championship, as the German suffered a front-left tyre failure when running third with two laps to go. He eventually finished seventh.
The same problem had hit Vettel's team-mate Kimi Raikkonen the lap before, costing the Finn an almost certain second place, promoting Hamilton's team-mate Valtteri Bottas to a Mercedes one-two. Raikkonen recovered to finish third.
Following the podium celebrations, Stevenage's Hamilton went down to see the crowd, surfing on their outstretched hands and high-fiving as he ran past the adoring throng.

End of twitter postEasyJet boss poached by ITVpublished at 09:01 British Summer Time 17 July 2017
Stuart Bailey
BBC NewsEasyJet boss Carolyn McCall has been confirmed as the new chief executive of ITV.
Ms McCall said the decision to leave the Luton-based firm had been "really difficult", but after seven years at the company the time was right for a move.
She said: "The opportunity from ITV felt like the right one to take. It is a fantastic company in a dynamic and stimulating sector."
EasyJet - based at Luton Airport - warned in January that its profits would be badly hit by the weaker pound and uncertainty over Brexit.
Chairman John Barton said: "I speak for absolutely everyone at EasyJet in saying we will be sorry to see Carolyn leave and that we wish her well in her exciting new role."
She will be paid an annual salary of £900,000 in her new job plus pension and possible bonus incentives.

BBC NewsThe water supply was cut off in a large part of Milton Keynes last night after a main pipe burst.
It happened just after 20:00 near Lodge Roundabout on the H4 Dansteed Way.
Anglian Water says the supply was restored in the early hours but people in the MK3, MK5, MK8, MK13 and MK14 postcodes may still notice cloudy water and low pressure - though it is safe to drink.
The company is hoping repairs will be finished by 13:00.
