Silverstone Classic

With a theme this year of 60 years of the Formula 1 World Championship, Silverstone Classic will field a selection of three high quality GP grids racing on the historic GP circuit, from the early ERAs of HGPCA members, to the Masters’ Tyrrells and Heskeths, enhanced by displays and features celebrating the entire 60 years. Special parades will showcase even later cars including Senna’s first F1 car, the turbo Toleman Hart, Schumacher’s 1992 Benetton, and Damon Hill’s 1996 World Championship winning Williams Renault.

Celebrity Race

In a crowd-pulling bid, there will be a celebrity race on the Friday evening, in which celebrities new to the world of motor sport will race against each other on the full historic GP circuit. Driving the all new and very cool Fiat 500 Abarth, the celebrities will attend training to gain their race licences, and then go into battle in identical performance cars providing a great TV and crowd pleasing spectacle.

Music line-up


The music line-up for 2010 is not yet finalised but will include Dr Feelgood and the Yardbirds on the Friday evening after the celebrity race, and Rick Parfitt Jr and others after racing on Saturday evening

Harley-Davidson was an important partner for 2009, providing a large display of stunt bikes and drag bikes. They are committed to bringing along the stunt bikes for display again, and are already marketing to their owners group and the wider biker audience.

Edwardians

Following the Edwardian parade at the Classic in 2009, this year will see demonstrations of Veteran and Edwardian cars along the revised National Straight throughout the weekend.  The De Dion Bouton Club will be running their trikes there several times over the weekend.
