Celebrating 1948 Silverstone Grand Prix

The 1948 Silverstone Grand Prix will be celebrated at this year’s Silverstone Classic, to be staged 20-22 July 2018 at the historic 3.6-mile Silverstone Grand Prix circuit in Northamptonshire, England.

Not only does the Silverstone Classic’s programme of 21 races feature more than 80 Grand Prix cars from yesteryear but the event will also include a special collection of cars that contested the inaugural Royal Automobile Club International Grand Prix in 1948. Often referred to as ‘The Race on the Runways’, it was a historic meeting which marked Silverstone’s opening as a motor sport venue.
