The award-winning Silverstone Classic (25-27 July 2014) looks set to break yet more records this year after a stellar line-up of races, parades, music and entertainment were announced at yesterday’s annual media preview.
A plethora of races from iconic eras, plus a number of newly confirmed on-track additions and special parades further cements the Classic’s position as the World’s Biggest Classic Motor Racing Festival. The event continues to go from strength-to-strength, with organisers expecting a record attendance this year after confirming that advanced ticket sales are at an all-time high.
“This event is quite simply the pinnacle of classic car racing,” said Nick Wigley, Event Director. “It’s the sheer quality of the cars and competitors, plus the level of passion for motor sport, that helps to create the most incredible weekend of racing and entertainment around.
“Our regular and long standing races form the core of our programme, but we’re always looking to add a new flavour to the event and this year we’ll be welcoming two fantastic racing additions from iconic eras. We’ll be showcasing the single biggest gathering of 1990s GT cars since they raced in-period and we’ve also invited F3 cars from 1971 to 1984 to make their debut at the Classic, which was a period that included drivers like Jacques Laffite, Alain Prost and of course Ayrton Senna. Further to these enhancements we’ll also be aiming to complete a world record parade of well over 100 Grand Prix cars led by Sir Stirling Moss OBE.”
“Overall, the interest levels in the Silverstone Classic are at a real high and we’re seeing record advanced ticket sales for this year’s event, so everything is shaping up nicely for another wonderful weekend in July.”
Tickets are only available in advance and the Classic is sticking to its popular ‘access all areas’ policy. Offering great value, all admission tickets grant access to free parking, both race pits and paddocks, trackside grandstands, fun fair rides and air displays plus, of course, the live music concerts on Friday and Saturday evening which this year will be topped by Canned Heat and Bonnie Tyler.
Both individual day and special weekend tickets are available with significant discounts for children aged from six to 16. Those aged under six years are admitted free.
