Are you ready for Silverstone Classic?

by Sebastian Bivin

Silverstone Classic is an event that will be held on July 22-24 and will see 110 cars take part in multiple races throughout the weekend.

The next Formula One race is scheduled to take place this weekend and the Silverstone racetrack is preparing to serve as the playground for it. The circuit will be really busy this summer because in just two weeks it will serve as a host for retro Grand Prix cars belonging to six decades.

The event director Nick Wigley stated:
“The line-up of Grand Prix cars for the 2011 Silverstone Classic is nothing short of sensational – we will have more than four times the number of F1 cars than will be racing at the British Grand Prix. Nowhere else can visitors see so many Formula 1 cars racing on one weekend and see the development of Grand Prix cars from 1930 right through into the 1980s. We are very proud to have more than 100 Grand Prix cars ready to compete at the Silverstone Classic.”

At this event, we’ll be able to meet automotive legends and, of course, cars driven to extreme; the organizers highlighted the fact that this in no static show.

“One of the most glorious cars in action all weekend will be the Ferrari Dino of Tony Smith, the car that Phil Hill used to score the final Grand Prix victory for a front-engined car at Monza in 1960. The Ferrari will be challenged by the nimble front-engined Lotus 16s and the rare Scarab from North America,” stated the press release.
