Silverstone Classic – firmly established as the World’s Biggest Classic Motor Racing Festival – is already breaking records as organisers prepare for this year’s Silver Anniversary event.

For the first time in the mammoth meeting’s glorious 25-year history, more than 100 car clubs will add to the high-octane atmosphere with huge displays creating a magical infield motor museum at the Home of British Motorsport – Silverstone.

Last year’s spectacular three-day extravaganza raised the bar by attracting an unprecedented 93 clubs, displaying in excess of 10,000 cherished classic cars right at the heart of the award-winning event. Those records have already been topped in 2015 with – to date – no fewer than 110 clubs signing up for money-saving Display Packages.

The three-day festival features the very best of historic racing covering more than eight decades of motor sport as well as live music from classic rock bands (topped by Status Quo in 2015) and a wealth of family entertainment.

This includes a free fun fair, retail outlets, a host of interactive activities, a two-day classic car auction and air displays, plus huge showcases of classic cars often celebrating important milestones in automotive history.

In 2014 a record parade of 84 Grand Prix cars celebrated Silverstone’s 50thGrand Prix as well as special cavalcades to mark Maserati’s centenary and 50 years of the Ford Mustang.

Nick Wigley, Event Director, said: “These sparkling displays are a very important and integral part of our celebration of classic car culture and – like the event – with every year they grow and grow.

“The record number already registered shows the clubs are coming out in force this summer, once again providing everyone attending the Silverstone Classic with a wonderful spectacle.”
