Highlights

    The world's biggest ever parade of Formula One cars will be staged at the Silverstone Classic from the 25th to 27th July. The cavalcade will be led by motorsport legend, 84-year old, Sir Stirling Moss and the event will celebrate 50 Grands prix at Silverstone. The venue first hosted the British Grand Prix in 1948 and this year's event will be its 50th.

    With three massive grids (for FIA Masters Historic Formula One plus Historic Grand Prix Cars Association Pre '66 and Pre '61 Grand Prix cars) featuring more than 100 iconic F1 cars from past generations, the Silverstone Classic already showcases more grand prix history than any other event in the world.

    "The Silverstone Classic really is a great event and it will be an absolute honour to lead this parade of Grand Prix cars," said Sir Stirling. "This is the global home of motor racing after all - I recall meeting Her Majesty here and so many other dignitaries and guests over the years, not to mention my memories of the circuit itself and the Grands Prix I contested. Silverstone is a wonderful place with a rich history; in my day it really was a fast and challenging circuit with some extremely demanding corners. During my career I believe I raced 108 cars so I had a pretty good innings and seeing some of those that'll be involved in the Silverstone Classic brings back a lot of great memories for me. I'm really looking forward to being a part of it all in July."

    The parade will truly be the most exciting spectacle in recent times and we are excited to see all the famous fast cars under one roof.
