Silverstone Summer Classic Motor Car Festival

In total, more than 80,000 visitors attended the event in 2011, with festival goers being treated to historic racing, displays of classic cars, a retail village, air displays, a funfair and live music from some classic rock bands.

Next year, individuals considering heading along to the event are advised that all these features will be returning, with the organisers keen to add more spectacle and fun as the festival gets bigger and better.

Nick Wigley, event director of the Silverstone Classic, commented: "Together we are introducing many more new and interesting innovations right across the festival weekend - not least the chance for visitors to test-drive many of the latest models right at the heart of the show."

Mr Wigley added that AA members will also benefit from discounted ticketing and special events on  the day.

"We aim to make the Silverstone Classic ... the biggest and most enjoyable event of any kind in the UK with the focus on classic motorsport, motoring and live music - a must-see event on every family's summer calendar," he concluded.

Set to run from July 20th to 22nd next year, admission will cost £80 per person for the three days of the event if purchased before March 31st. However, this rises to £95 per person until July 19th and £110 each on the day.

Single day admission starts at £30 in advance and £50 on the day, while children five and under will get in for free.
