The 2018 edition of the Silverstone Classic, billed as the world’s largest historic race meeting, has been given a provisional date of July 20-22. Highlighting the featured attractions is a return of ’60s muscle cars, with the Trans-Atlantic Touring Car Trophy contest set to fill huge grids with mighty V8-powered Mustangs, Galaxies and Falcons, among others. Giving the contest a David-and-Goliath air will be a selection of more nimble “homologation specials’ like Lotus Cortinas and Mini Cooper S models to keep the Detroit Iron honest in the twisty bits.
Super Early Bird tickets are on sale now, offering festivalgoers the opportunity to purchase their 2018 tickets at 2017 prices — providing up to a 20 percent discount on Standard tickets. This offer is open until the end of the year — making for an ideal Christmas present. Thereafter, as in previous years, a range of Early Bird tickets will be available for those purchasing between January 1 and March 31, after which admission will be available in advance via Standard tickets.
All tickets allow access to both Silverstone racing paddocks, all open trackside grandstands, the live music concerts, air shows, fun fair rides and the vast majority of the family entertainment on offer.
Adult Super Early Bird tickets start from £35 and the cost of the three-day weekend ticket remains at £99. Full details of all 2018 ticket prices — Super Early Bird, Early Bird and Standard — are available by visiting www.silverstoneclassic.com
