Murray Walker returns
Northamptonshire is gearing up to welcome famous names on both stage and track at the Silverstone Classic this month, 24 to 26 July. Motor racing heroes get behind the wheel of automotive legends, whilst international music stars Santana, the Pussycat Dolls, and Blue tune up for evening concerts, included in the entry price!
Where else but at the Silverstone Classic could you spot legend Sir Stirling Moss racing against musician Chris Rea for the RAC Woodcote Trophy, or guitarist Mark Knopfler putting his AC ACE Bristol through its paces?
Voice of Formula One Murray Walker will once again be on hand to provide his inimitable wisdom and insight as famous racers take to the track, including Targa Florio hero Arturo Merzario, American Indy 500 winner Bobby Rahal, F1 driver Jackie Oliver and Le Mans veteran Andy Wallace.
The Silverstone Classic’s multi-million pound grids celebrate more than 90 years of motor racing over three days, as cars from original Formula One to Le Mans racers line up in all their glory once more. The Daily Express Trophy for Production Jaguar Cars celebrates the marque’s original win in Silverstone’s first production car race 60 years ago, with prizes presented by Pat Quinn, daughter of Jaguar founder Sir William Lyons. The David Leslie Memorial Trophy celebrates four decades of touring cars and its eponymous driver who tragically died in an air crash last year.
Friday’s qualifying sessions are followed by evening concerts from the Pussycat Dolls, Blue and Toploader. Saturday’s packed race schedule includes the Harley-Davidson® parade and Mini’s 50-year celebration on track, as well as Bonham’s evening auction that includes Honda GP cars and F1 memorabilia. The Jaguar track parade is followed by scrutineering of multi-million pound cars campaigning for glory in the pre-1963 GT sports cars race, including short wheelbase Ferraris, unique prototypes and rarities such as Aston Martin DB4 GT Zagatos. A £15,000 prize fund is available for the most engaging and well-documented displays of historic cars racing at the Silverstone Classic.
As the sunset World Sports Car Masters race - featuring original Le Mans cars - draws to a close, rock legend Carlos Santana takes to the stage for his only UK concert. Saturday and Sunday races are punctuated by aerial displays and car clubs’ parades on track.
The Silverstone Classic is the perfect summer event for families: alongside the on-track action, find your favourite cars among 4,000 on display from clubs such as Ferrari, Aston Martin, Jaguar, Lotus, Rolls-Royce and Maserati. Explore the Harley-Davidson® village, try out new bikes and watch death-defying stunts; shop in the retail village and enjoy the free Victorian funfair. Children under 16 go free when accompanied by an adult.
Rock on, Silverstone Classic.
