TICKETS ON SALE NOW FOR THE WORLD'S BIGGEST CLASSIC MOTOR RACING FESTIVAL
Dear Classic Racing Enthusiast,
The popular ‘Early Bird’ discount tickets are available until 31st March, 2012 and right now make a great Christmas present.
The Silverstone Classic this year was a great success with 80,000 spectators and the exciting news for the July 2012 Silverstone Classic is that it is now “powered by the AA”. We will soon announce the many new ideas that the AA will incorporate but immediately there is a 10% discount off prevailing ticket prices for all AA Customers via the event website.
We have plans for many new elements for the 3 day festival and here are the details we can tell you now.
The racing will be very dynamic with new grids featuring the formidable F5000/F2 cars, very close racing from Touring cars from the 70s-90s era plus the return of the mighty Group C cars as well as over 100 F1 Grand Prix cars and charismatic sports and GT car grids. A feast of action for the historic racing enthusiast.
1962 was a very innovative year for car design and 50 years later we celebrate the anniversary of the MGB, AC Cobra, Lotus Elan, Triumph Spitfire & Ford Cortina. In particular the Cobra celebrations will be the official gathering for all AC Cobra and derivative owners. Expect to see 500 of them in a track parade as well as battling with the Ferraris and Jaguars in races.
There are special celebrations too for the Ferrari F40, Maserati Merak, TVR Car Club, Mercedes Benz Club, Marcus Owners Club, Renault Owners & the Chevy Camaro. Another new attraction is the BMW ‘Z’ Fest being staged for the first time in the UK.
Last year over 7,000 classic cars were displayed over the weekend so there will be lots to see. If you own a classic car then there are special car club display packages for you to display your car on the in-field.
Live rock music remains a major part of the fun and is included in the ticket price. We have top acts on both Friday and Saturday nights Mike and The Mechanics with support bands will feature on Friday 20th July plus Adam Ant and support bands on Saturday 21st.
This year many people made it a 2 or 3 day stay and to help people make the most of the 3 day festival we are introducing a range of overnight accommodation choices. These range from the high tech ‘Snooze Box’ to Glamping or the massive Woodlands campsite next to the circuit.
Those of you who like to visit the many retailers and exhibitors who support the event will not be disappointed with over 160 exhibitors in the Retail Village with a huge range of products from antiques and autojumble to vehicles and vintage clothing. Add to this the traditional Fun Fair, Air Displays and many demonstrations and you will have flat out fun all day.
The new ‘Wing’ building at the International pits is a spectacular structure and will host the Silverstone Auctions sale of classic cars and memorabilia again in 2012. Another popular aspect of the Wing is its superb VIP hospitality facilities providing the opportunity for over 1200 guests to be part of the action overlooking the start/finish line and might be the ideal venue for your family, friends or business entertaining next year.
After the 2011 event many of you completed an on-line questionnaire with very helpful feedback particularly commenting on the much larger layout of the circuit. The Silverstone Classic was the first event to incorporate the new Wing complex with many valuable lessons learned. There will be enhanced transfers between the North and South of the circuit with double the number of historic buses running. There will be extra car parks opened with more access roads into Silverstone and these measures together with a streamlined ticket checking system will enhance your experience.
The Silverstone Classic Racing Club membership is available for enthusiasts to get more involved with the event and it provides many exclusive benefits.
Check the event website at www.silverstoneclassic.com regularly as new information will be frequently added.

In order to control the volume of traffic arriving and leaving the venue on Saturday 21st July 2012, the total number of Saturday-only tickets available will be limited. Early purchase of these tickets is, therefore, recommended. This restriction will not currently be applied to 2-day or 3-day tickets. Clubs will be notified of any change in these arrangements.
Two complimentary 3-day tickets will be issued to all classic vehicle clubs applying for membership of the Silverstone Classic Racing Club. Clubs will receive additional complimentary tickets dependent upon the number of cars booked into the event using the club’s dedicated booking code, as in previous years. Minimum number of cars 25.

We close car club bookings in advance of the event so that we may better plan for the day and ensure we are able to provide a high level of service to all car clubs, issuing the coordinators and their members with more detailed information prior to their arrival on site. This will include club infield display area location, entrance route to venue – there will be more than one vehicle entrance to the venue in 2012 to ensure that we do not have a repeat of the traffic congestion on the A43 experienced on Saturday morning of the 2011 event – track parades (timings, assembly point arrangements and which clubs participating) and the Silverstone Classic Concours d’Elegance into which one car per club may be entered.
The prices until 31st March 2012 are the first figures, 1st April to 31st May the second set of figures. Sorry I can't get it to lay out properly.
There is camping available, not within the circuit but just over the road I think. If any one is interested let me know and I'll enquire.
Look forward to seeing you all there.

Sorry chaps, just been on the phone to Silverstone as I found the website confusing. Im an AA member and the AA discount can NOT be used with the car club discount 
This morning the price for Sat and Sunday is £75.60 including booking fee
Price for Camping is £40 per person! or £16.20 for a Child up to 16yrs Which for me would total it up to £131.80.
Im out.
I tried that when I booked and had to phone them up and get them to credit then take another payment. Ignore the AA discount thing, it doesn't give you additional discount off your discounted rate when you use our unique car club booking reference. Have another go and see what the difference is.This morning the price for Sat and Sunday is £75.60 including booking fee
Price for Camping is £40 per person! or £16.20 for a Child up to 16yrs Which for me would total it up to £131.80.

Tickets sent to the wrong address - am currently unable to track them down and no feedback from Silverstone
Can't you ask the owners of your old house?.......Or did you burn the bridge - never a good idea to take the light bulds.
