The 2010
Silverstone Classic on
23 to 25 July will be the best yet, with more racing, more
classic cars, more live music.
Proudly carrying the tag of "the world's biggest classic racing festival", the
Silverstone Classic is much more than a glorious celebration of
motor racing heritage. It is a
complete event dedicated to providing a fabulous day or weekend out for all the
family.
On-track is a stellar line-up of
races and this will be proper
classic racing, as 1000 hard-charging racers do battle in 800 cars spanning
seven decades of motor racing heritage. In total,
23 races will cover Grand Prix cars,
sports, GT, saloon and
single-seater racing cars from 1930 to the 1990s. Including
celebrity races.
Live music will again be a big feature of the
Silverstone Classic, with major
concerts on the evenings of both Friday and Saturday.
Entry to both
concerts is included within the
circuit admission charge.
On Friday night,
Silverstone will rock to the sounds of two
classic British bands from the 1960s and 1970s, when
The Yardbirds and
Dr Feelgood take to the stage. On
Saturday evening, the story comes bang
up to date with a show including stars from the
X Factor, with Jedward, Danyl Johnson and Ruth Lorenzo, and
The Rick Parfitt Jnr. Rock Band.
Before the
live concert starts on Saturday evening, there will be an important
auction of classic cars and memorabilia, organised by
Bonhams. Bonhams Motoring Department is the
largest auction house to hold scheduled auction sales of
classic and vintage cars and memorabilia, so a
spectacular line-up of road and race cars is assured.
