The Silverstone Classic is a three day celebration of motoring excellence, which sees eight decades and arguably Europe's largest gathering of classic racing cars come together for a weekend of classic racing and entertainment.

The Silverstone Classic started life in the early 1990s as the Coys' International Historic Festival, and has evolved into what is today the Silverstone Classic. Now in its 17th year the Silverstone Classic has established itself as one of the leading Classic motor racing events on both the UK and international motorsports calendar.

The event features classic racing cars from the 1920s to the 1990s, from Formula One through to Classic Saloons, Sports Cars and Le Mans cars and brings together on track one of the largest collections of famous racing cars seen anywhere in the world. The 2009 event at the historic and demanding Silverstone circuit will see around 700 race cars and 900 competitors compete over two days in over 20 races.

A key feature of the Classic is the huge car display, in excess of 4,000 cars from the world's most iconic marques, open pit garages and a variety of family led entertainment from funfairs to air displays, exhibitions, shops and auto jumble displays.

This year the Silverstone Classic is going to a new level, offering both racing and non-racing fans the unique attraction of two world class concerts on the Friday and Saturday nights respectively. Both concerts will take place in the evenings after racing and will be separate to the main on track activities.

Event goers will be able to purchase tickets to attend both the concerts and race activities.

We look forward to welcoming you to the Classic for a great weekend of racing and music - a unique experience for race fans, car enthusiasts and the whole family.
