The 1948 Silverstone Grand Prix will be celebrated at this year’s Silverstone Classic, to be staged 20-22 July 2018 at the historic 3.6-mile Silverstone Grand Prix circuit in Northamptonshire, England.

Not only does the Silverstone Classicโ€™s programme of 21 races feature more than 80 Grand Prix cars from yesteryear but the event will also include a special collection of cars that contested the inaugural Royal Automobile Club International Grand Prix in 1948. Often referred to as โ€˜The Race on the Runwaysโ€™, it was a historic meeting which marked Silverstoneโ€™s opening as a motor sport venue.
