Silverstone Festival
AUGUST 23-25
There is very little in historic racing that is bigger than the Silverstone Festival as the entire Silverstone site is taken over by a family friendly celebration of racing and automotive heritage.
At its heart remains a stellar 20-race programme. All the usual favourites are back and are joined by the return of Historic Formula 2 and Classic Formula 3.
