All tickets are subject to a booking fee & credit card fee ( £8 last year ). However, this is split between the tickets when we book them.
Payment can be done by PayPal, cheque or bank transfer. Details of which can be provided when you join up to the club.
We regret if only one member attends without a passenger, the price will still be as shown above. However, you will still receive two tickets so can invite friends for the separate days.
After 31st May tickets will still be available but at a further increased general public price and per person. Unfortunately, you will be unable to park your car on the club stand if booked after 31st May.
Please note, entrance to the 2013 Silverstone Classic is by advance ticket only. It will not be possible to buy tickets on the day.

I hope that this event will prove to be very successful for the club. I have attended it twice before and have loved every minute of it! You have un-rivalled access to the pits and have practically no restrictions on where you can sit in the grandstands. There is racing from dusk until dawn each day and the cars you see in the camp site betters most normal car shows!
** We already have 16 cars in attendance, which should make it a great show! **
Please don't hesitate to ask any questions you may have.
See you all there!
Cheers.

Club Chairman & Webmaster
