Silverstone Classic attracts bumper club entry

A record number car clubs have signed-up to join the Silverstone Classic (25-27 July). Organisers have confirmed that 84 clubs have registered online, so their members can join the in-field display parking at what's billed as the World’s Biggest Classic Motor Racing Festival.

Among the newcomers are the Rover P6 Club, the Royal Air Force Mini Club and the Berkeley Enthusiasts Club, which will be celebrating its 50thanniversary at the event. These will line up alongside the more familiar massive gatherings of Aston Martins, Bentleys, Ferraris, Lamborghinis, MGs, Morgans, MX5s, and Porsches. A special on-track cavalcade to mark 50 years of the iconic Ford Mustang has already been announced for July.

A special incentive, which includes a special two-for-one classic car display ticket offer for members of car clubs and organisations, is open until the end of May. Registration online is free for 2014 and, once signed up, members of these clubs will be given a special code offering them two adult tickets - plus the chance to add their own classic car to the glittering in-field displays - from just £39.

Event Director, Nick Wigley, said: 'Last year we had more than 9000 classic cars on display at the Silverstone Classic and it seems certain that we will top that number this summer. We value highly the massive contribution the classic car clubs make to the overall success of the Silverstone Classic. They provide an amazing spectacle for both race fans and fellow devotees who really enjoy the camaraderie of spending time with thousands of like minded enthusiasts - that’s why we offer them special deals to be an integral part of the massive show.'
