Exciting line-up of supercars to feature at Silverstone Classic

 

By Jamie White – Head of Communications

 

A stunning new grid of racing supercars from the 90s is the latest addition to the on-track action at this summer’s Silverstone Classic.

 

The inaugural 90s GT Legends line-up features Ferrari F40s, Jaguar XJ220s, Lister Storms and Porsche GT1s, plus no fewer than five fabulous McLaren F1 GTRs including at least one of the ten ‘Longtail’ versions, each valued at more than £3m.

 

These on-track icons celebrate the era from 1994 to 2000 when production-based GT cars ruled the endurance racing world.

 

Although relatively short, the period saw a vast array of cars compete, ranging from specialist small-volume production sportscars such as Ascari, Lotus and Venturi to factory programmes from McLaren, Porsche and Mercedes – and even the odd hypercar such as the Bugatti EB110 and XJ220.

 

The spectacular power show at the Silverstone Classic, which takes place on July 25th-27th,  is expected to attract around 40 GTs – the largest number seen in action since their heydays. Ensuring no-one misses out, they will be providing dramatic flat-out demonstration sessions on all-three days.

 

Event Director, Nick Wigley, said: “We are always looking to broaden the Classic’s appeal and the introduction of these 90s GT Legends certainly does that in fantastic style.

 

“The sights and sounds of fabulous McLarens, Ferraris and Jaguars all at full chat on the fast Silverstone Grand Prix circuit is something no one will want to miss.”
