The media day of the Silverstone Classic saw a wide variety of cars taking the opportunity to not only appear before the assembled press but also to take to the circuit for some free testing. July’s three day event will feature some quality racing and recognise a number of salient anniversaries, with highlights such as:
- The centenary of Bentley, founded in 1919
- The 60th anniversary of the Mini
- The 50th anniversary of the Ford Capri
- A Twilight Tribute to Le Mans, a Saturday evening tribute to the 24-hour classic
- Racecard featuring F1, F2 and F3 cars for the first time
- The 70th anniversary of Abarth
- The 60th anniversary of the Austin-Healey 3000
- The 50th anniversary of the Triumph TR6
We will be bringing you more from the day, but for now enjoy our gallery of images from a walk round the pit garages.
