Silverstone Festival

After more than three decades of success, the Silverstone Festival now enjoys its status as the world’s largest historic racing festival, with more than 20 races and over 1000 entries, covering F1, Sports Cars, GT and Touring Cars. All grids can be seen in qualifying action on the Friday, while the races are spread across the Saturday and Sunday. As well as open paddocks there are over 10,000 club cars on display, plus trade areas, fairground rides, auctions and big-name music concerts. If there’s a downside to this huge event it is, of course, the sheer size of the site, and the distance between the track and viewing areas.  But that’s Silverstone (and most other F1-eligible tracks) for you – and there’s plenty to make up for it.
