Your club’s dedicated code for the event is C1525023. Members need to enter this code on http://www.silversto....com/buytickets to gain access to the Car Club Display Packages.

Please note the important dates section which highlights that the best value Car Club Display Packages are only available up until the end of March, and that the Car Club Display Packages cease altogether at the end of May. This allows us to plan the infield and finalise all car club display area locations in good time before the event.

SPECTACULAR IN 2015

• Provisional date set for next summer’s Silverstone Classic
• World’s Biggest Classic Motor Racing Festival to celebrate 25 years


As tradition dictates next summer’s spectacular Silverstone Classic will be held at Britain’s premier race circuit over the final weekend in July.
Already firmly established as the World’s Biggest Classic Motor Racing Festival, the 2015 Silverstone Classic (24-26 July) will be another massive record breaker – not least as the dazzling extravaganza will be celebrating its own 25th anniversary.

The very first International Historic Festival took place at Silverstone on 28-29 July 1990. The concept of a flagship race meeting dedicated entirely to historic motor sport was an instant success. Indeed that pioneering revival is widely hailed as the one which paved the way for the plethora of similar events that are now staged at famous circuits not only throughout the UK but also right around the globe.

Now, 25 years later, the multiple award-winning Silverstone Classic is still setting the pace. This year’s celebration attracted its largest ever crowd of 94,000 and featured no fewer than 23 glittering races. These packed grids covered the full spectrum of motor sport history and the total of 1,125 entries topped the Classic’s own benchmark as the world’s biggest motor sport meeting of all times.

What’s more the 2014 Classic also staged the world’s biggest ever parade of Grand Prix cars as well as memorable celebrations to mark Maserati’s centenary and 50 years of the Ford Mustang.

“Next year will be a very significant milestone for the Silverstone Classic and we are already making some very special plans to celebrate this silver anniversary in fitting style,” said Event Director, Nick Wigley. “It’s amazing when looking back to the very first Historic Festival as many of the iconic cars and well-known drivers racing then are still competing at the Classic today. Even more intriguingly, perhaps, is the thought that several of today’s most popular grids such as the Super Tourers and Group C prototypes had barely seen the light of day in 1990. But perhaps that’s the secret to the Classic’s spiraling success. Every year there’s more and more fabulous motor sport history for enthusiasts of all ages to enjoy and thus every year the Silverstone Classic just gets bigger and better.”

Info on Silver Parade from SSC:


To participate in the Silver Sunday parade a Silver ticket is required per car: a Silver Sunday ticket entitles the ticketholder to display their silver car (and only silver) in a dedicated infield display area on the Sunday and participate in the scheduled lunchtime track parade. A Silver Weekend ticket is basically the Silver Sunday ticket combined with normal Friday and Saturday general admission. These Silver tickets are predominantly aimed at general ticket purchasers who don’t normally get the opportunity to display their cars in the infield or take part in a track parade so unfortunately there is no car club discount applicable to these Silver Sunday and Silver Weekend tickets. However, we thought it would help to highlight the most cost effective ways for car club members to take part if they so wish:
  • If a car club member is coming for the whole weekend then the most cost effective way to include the Silver Sunday parade is to purchase a 2-day Fri/Sat car club package (£72, includes 2 adult admission tickets) and a Silver Sunday ticket (£72, includes 1 adult admission ticket). If a 2nd adult admission ticket is required for the Sunday then we advise that the club member buys the 3-day Weekend car club package (£99, includes 2 adult admission tickets for all 3 days) and a Silver Sunday ticket (£72) which gives the necessary access for a silver coloured car to the dedicated Silver Sunday infield display area and the scheduled Sunday lunchtime track parade. This will also provide a 3rd Sunday adult admission ticket. Please note that the number of people in the car for the track parade is determined only by the number of seats available.
  • If a car club member is coming just for Sunday and wants to participate in the Silver Sunday parade then a Silver Sunday ticket (£72, includes 1 adult admission ticket) needs to be purchased. If they have one passenger then they would also need to purchase a general Sunday ticket (£47), but if two passengers were coming it would make more sense to purchase a Sunday Car Club package (£57, includes two adult admission tickets) and a Silver Sunday ticket (£72).
  • If a car club member is coming Saturday and Sunday wishing to participate in the Silver Sunday parade with one passenger, then the best option is to buy a car club Saturday/Sunday package (£83) and a Silver Sunday ticket (£72). This will again provide a 3rd adult admission ticket for Sunday.
Please note that the prices given are ‘Early Bird’ and are available up until 31st March 2015. Advance ticket prices will then apply. If you have any further questions please don’t hesitate to ask us.
