silverstone F1 support races - historics?

[skinny]

anyone know if the historic sports car challenge will be one of the support races at the silverstone GP this year?

i've been for the last 2 years and this was always the highlight for me, i'm going again this year but can't find any mention of it being on the programme...?

cheers!

Last I heard there was unlikely to be anything after the GP, so no historics - I think it was still being discussed though.

I believe there will definately be some historics racing. Don't know exactly what, but some will be there

Nope, it's in the other link, the race is for pre-66 saloons this time, so you will have cars like Mustangs and Falcons, it's always cracking entertainment when these race.
