An incredible grid of legendary front-engined Grand Prix cars will be one of the standout highlights at Silverstone Festival 2023 from 25-27 August which this summer is celebrating the world famous circuit’s 75thanniversary in spectacular style with special races, parades and displays.
As ever, the three-day event will feature an unrivalled line-up of retro races but this year the bill will be topped by a one-off showdown paying special homage to Silverstone’s very first race meeting staged in October 1948.
The 75th Anniversary Grand Prix Trophy for Front Engine GP Cars has been added to Sunday’s action-packed timetable specifically to mark what is a major milestone in British motorsport history and will reunite many of the much-loved Grand Prix and Formula One icons that raced at Silverstone during its earliest seasons.
The entry list being finalised by the Historic Grand Prix Cars Association (HGPCA) already boasts two of the actual cars that raced in Silverstone’s opening event – the Royal Automobile Club organised International Grand Prix of 1948.
