The VSCC are not only running a race meeting, but also offering a variety of off-track entertainment including a trade village, Pre-war Auto Solo, British Autotest Championship as well as becoming one of the FHBVC’s “Drive It Day” venues for the first time.
 
Practice commences at 9am on both days with racing starting after lunch. The weekend provides the very finest of historic motor racing, with a mix of Historic Grand Prix Cars, 1950s Sports Racing Cars, Pre and Post-war Frazer Nashs and the AR Morgan Challenge adding to the stable of prestigious VSCC trophies up for grabs.
 
In addition to all of the competition cars we are also delighted to welcome a number of motor racing legends to Silverstone this weekend, with no other than Martin Stretton, Historic Formula One Champion (1995 & 2000) taking to the track as part of the Freddie Giles Memorial Race and motorsport engineering superstar Tony Southgate, the only Chief Engineer to have won the triple crown of motorsport (Le Mans 24hr, Indianapolis 500 and Monaco Grand Prix) joining us to present the podium awards for the prestigious Patrick Lindsey Memorial Race.
