Top 10: Things to see at the Silverstone Classic 2017
This month’s Silverstone Classic (28-30 July) promises to be best outing yet for the three-day motor racing festival. The 22-race programme staged on the famous 3.7-mile Northamptonshire Grand Prix circuit has attracted more than 1000 entries.
Record numbers of car clubs are also out in force. More than 10,000 classics will be on show and there will also be special shows and track parades. The three-day blockbuster includes live music concerts from headline acts, dramatic live demos, interactive driving experiences, rides on the JET Big Wheel, crazy golf, air displays, a shopping village, an adrenaline zone, traditional funfair rides, static displays, street car shootouts, Spitfire engine fire-ups, racing simulators and more.
Jaguar Challenge
On top of the special XJ220 celebrations, the track schedule includes a round of the high-profile Jaguar Classic Challenge for the first time. Open to all pre-1966 Jaguar models, the grid will feature no fewer than 35 E-types as well as Mk1 saloons plus XK120, XK150 and D-type sportscars.
The opportunity to take memorable, heart-pumping drift rides in an F-type proved massively popular with show-goers 12 months ago and is sure to be another huge hit second time around – especially as it's free.
