The Silverstone Classic 2015 will be staged 24-26 July at the historic 18-turn, 3.6 mile Silverstone Grand Prix circuit in Northamptonshire, England. Next year’s vintage race car festival will celebrate 25 years of the Classic.<\/p>\n

The first International Historic Festival took place at Silverstone on 28-29 July 1990. The concept of a flagship race meeting dedicated entirely to historic motor sport was an instant success. Indeed that pioneering revival is hailed as the one which paved the way for the similar events that are now staged at circuits not only throughout the UK.The 2014 Silverstone Classic<\/a> 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 Classic\u2019s own benchmark as the world\u2019s biggest motor sport meeting of all times.<\/p>\n

\u201cNext year will be a very significant milestone for the Silverstone Classic and we are already making some very special plans to celebrate this silver anniversary in fitting style,\u201d said Event Director, Nick Wigley. \u201cIt\u2019s amazing when looking back to the very first Historic Festival as many of the iconic cars and well-known drivers racing then are still competing at the Classic today. Even more intriguingly, perhaps, is the thought that several of today\u2019s most popular grids such as the Super Tourers and Group C prototypes had barely seen the light of day in 1990. But perhaps that\u2019s the secret to the Classic\u2019s spiraling success. Every year there\u2019s more and more fabulous motor sport history for enthusiasts of all ages to enjoy and thus every year the Silverstone Classic just gets bigger and better.\u201d<\/p>\n
