As the Silverstone Classic 2015 (24th – 26th July) celebrates it’s 25^th anniversary, firmly billed as the World’s Biggest Classic Motor Racing Festival, will the 2015 event be even bigger?

The very first International Historic Festival took place at Silverstone on 28-29 July 1990.  Now, 25 years later, the multiple award-winning Silverstone Classic is still setting the pace. In 2014 Silverstone Classic attracted its largest ever crowd of 94,000 and featured no fewer than 23 races. These packed grids covered the full spectrum of motor sport history and the total of 1,125 entries topped the record books as the world’s biggest motor sport meeting of all times and the 2015 event promises to be even better!

All the established favourites return including Group C prototypes, Super Tourers, 90s GT Legends and the FIA Masters Historic F1 Championship alongside two eye-catching new grids to be revealed in the months leading up to the event.

Massive car club displays and record-breaking on-track parades will again play a huge part in the 2015 event. The third day (Sunday 26th July) has been designated ‘Silver Sunday at Silverstone’, with all owners of silver cars, old and new, invited to join in the festivities.

Legendary rockers Status Quo will top the live music line-up on the Saturday night.

To mark the occasion, a special Silver ticket type has been introduced which includes a special in-field parking area plus a sparkling Silver Jubilee cavalcade around the famous Grand Prix circuit.

The spectacular parade is open to everyone with a silver car, old or new, and has attracted an amazing mix of cars, spanning nine decades of automotive history, ranging from a 1934 Austin Seven Special to the latest modern cars from Land Rover and Aston Martin.

Silverstone Classic are looking for as many car fans as possible to participate in their 25-year celebrations, explains event director Nick Wigley “Right from the very first event in 1990, the Classic has always set out to commemorate important motoring anniversaries with track parades but this is something a little bit different”. “For once it’s not limited to those lucky enough to own an E-type, 911 or F40 – it’s open to all those millions of motorists who simply have a silver car”.
