The opening round of the FIA GT Championship comes to Silverstone in April, when the world's premier sports car series will make its only UK appearance of 2008.

This year marks the series' tenth visit to the circuit and the prestigious championship continues to attract some of the biggest names and marques in world motorsport. 2007 saw the return of Formula One™ legend Nigel Mansell to Silverstone, making his FIA GT debut in the Scuderia Ecosse Ferrari 430 GT2, and race-goers can expect to see a similar calibre of drivers lining up on the world famous start grid in April.

In addition to crucial championship points, drivers will also be competing for the prestigious Royal Automobile Club Tourist Trophy at Silverstone's round of the championship. The Trophy has a long and illustrious history and has been won by a host of legendary drivers over the years, including Sir Stirling Moss, Graham Hill and Derek Bell to name a few.

Sports car fans will be treated to a feast of classic GT action, featuring some of the most spectacular cars from the greatest sports car marques, including Aston Martin, Ferrari, Maserati, Corvette, Porsche, Lamborghini and Saleen.

CR Scuderia will run two Ferrari 430s in the GT2 class of the series and British team, Gigawave Motorsport, will also run the new Aston Martin Vantage GT2 in the GT2 class.

Away from the track there is plenty to keep the whole family entertained: autograph sessions, pit-walks and an 'open-to-all' paddock will provide exceptional access to the teams, stars and the stunning competition supercars.
