For us, not only the cars are important but also the people who engineer, build, drive, race and own them, and to celebrate together at Silverstone is the best and most befitting way to do this.\u201d<br \/>\nThe Aston Martin story started close to Silverstone when, back in 1913, founders Lionel Martin and Robert Bamford entered their first car \u2013 a modified Singer \u2013 into a speed event at Aston Clinton&#8230;and won. A year later when Martin started to design and build his own cars he named them Aston Martin in celebration of that early victory in rural Buckinghamshire.<br \/>\n\u201cWe are thrilled to be celebrating such a momentous milestone in Aston Martin\u2019s illustrious history at next summer\u2019s Silverstone Classic,\u201d said Nick Wigley, Event Director. \u201cSilverstone is the perfect setting for such a special occasion and we are working closely with Aston Martin, the Aston Martin Heritage Trust and the Aston Martin Owners\u2019 Club to ensure this magnificent centenary is marked in fine style.\u201d<br \/>\nWith such a racing pedigree, Aston Martin has also enjoyed many sporting victories at Silverstone from the 1950s right up to recent FIA GT wins in the prized RAC Tourist Trophy in both 2005 and 2008.<br \/>\nThe Silverstone Classic always showcases much of Aston Martin\u2019s rich sporting bloodline. Indeed the Royal Automobile Club Historic Tourist Trophy for pre-1963 GT cars has seen back-to-back victories for Aston Martin DB4 GTs. Racing legends Stuart Graham and Richard Attwood captured the coveted prize in 2011 followed by Nick Naismith and John Young in 2012.<br \/>\nFor additional information, visit <a title=\"Silverstone Classic\" href=\"http:\/\/www.silverstoneclassic.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">www.silverstoneclassic.com<\/a>.<br \/>\n[Source: Silverstone Classic; photo: Tim Scott \/ Fluid Images]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Silverstone Classic 2013 will play host to a line-up of car displays, parades and events to celebrate the centenary of Aston Martin.
