Masters Historic Racing, which also runs the FIA Masters Historic Formula One Championship, will be responsible for staging the race.<\/p>\n<p>Entries will be invited from both the FIA Masters Historic Formula One Championship in Europe and Masters USA series, which will undoubtedly result in a spectacular grid of cars hailing from F1\u2019s glorious three-liter era. The British GP thus becomes the only occasion this year when fans will be able to see historic Formula One cars attack a European Grand Prix circuit during a modern F1 race weekend, in a direct comparison with their counterparts from the 2018 championship.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe fact that we have been asked to organize a support race at the British Grand Prix certainly reflects the quality of the show we put on at Montreal, Austin and Mexico City last year,\u201d said Masters Historic Racing founder Ron Maydon. \u201cI\u2019m sure that we will evoke many wonderful memories with the spectators that were also present at Silverstone and Brands in the seventies and eighties as well as fascinate the younger part of the crowd.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Stuart Pringle, Managing Director of Silverstone added \u201cWe regularly ask our fans for feedback on how we can further improve their British Grand Prix experience, and requests for more track action and the opportunity to see classic Formula One cars are always high up on the list. I believe that the inclusion of the two Masters Historic Formula One races to the timetable will tick both those boxes and will not only be a fantastic crowd-pleaser but also a great addition to the weekend in a year which sees Silverstone celebrate its 70th anniversary.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For further information please visit <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mastershistoricracing.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">www.mastershistoricracing.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>British Formula One fans will get a double helping of the sport\u2019s top category at this year\u2019s British GP, as historic Formula One cars from the three-liter era of the \u201970s and \u201980s will feature in two support races at Silverstone over the weekend of July 5-8.
