Silverstone Classic

BRDC Classic, the successor to the Silverstone Classic and Silverstone Festival, late July Silverstone's big historic weekend was rebuilt for 2026 around the racing. The music stages and headline entertainers have gone, and historic Formula 1, Le Mans and touring cars race wheel to wheel, with hundreds of club cars on display around the circuit. The change cost some scale: the 2026 meeting drew fewer cars and fewer spectators than the old festival, and average grids fell from 35.8 to 31.8 cars. For anyone who found the festival years more about concerts than motor racing, that trade is the reason to go back. The 2027 meeting is set for July 23 to 25, with early bird prices until January 4, 2027.
