Silverstone Classic – PistonHeads display – we need you!
Discussion
We're very excited to announce that we're a partner to the Silverstone Classic (26-28 July) this year.
We'll be taking over the Paddock Cafe to bring the PistonHeads pub, the Pie & Piston, back to life at the heart of the event. As part of our 300 car display area for eligible cars, we've got space for a rather special 'PistonHeads icon' display.
We need 20 cars to park outside the Pie & Piston that epitomise PistonHeads. Ideally we'd like you to attend for all three days (you can drive in and out each day but under restricted times) and these applications will be prioritised, but we'll also consider those who might only be able to attend for one or two. Our chosen cars will receive two free tickets for the duration that they're on display plus a PH goodie bag.
So what are we looking for? Ideally we want a set of cars that encapsulate PistonHeads, be it a classic or modern. We're thinking along the lines of (in no particular order):
- TVRs
- Porsche 911 GT3
- Lancia Delta Integrale
- Peugeot 205 GTI
- Ferraris
- Renaultsport Megane R26R/Trophy R
- Volvo 850R
- Audi R8
- BMW M3
- Mercedes-AMG C63
- Mazda MX-5 Mk1
- Lotuses
- Aston Martin Vantage
- Noble M12
- Caterham Seven
- Alpine
- Subaru Impreza
- Mitsubishi Evo
- Land Rover Defender
- Nissan Skyline/GT-R
- McLarens
- Ford Escort
- Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio
- Lamborghinis
- Plus anything else you think we've missed that would be relevant
How to apply
If you're free 26-28 July and have something you think we'd be interested in, please post a photo below with some basic details and the days that you're free to attend. Those with a Readers' Car thread may be favoured, so post a link to your thread if you have one too.
Please submit applications by the 22nd April and we'll notify everyone of the selection on here shortly after.

UPDATE
It's now looking highly likely that we'll have a parade lap for our 20 cars in our icon display each day at the Classic. This is an incredible opportunity to get your car out on track in front of 100,000 people on the full GP circuit at a steady pace. More information will be provided in due course and it will be optional.
We'll now be closing the application for the display after the Easter weekend on the 22nd April, when we'll be making our selection. The good news is the organisers have agreed to open up our club parking area (with an eligibility list); more details available here.
Thanks again to everyone who has applied so far – we've got so many stunning cars amongst us here on PH!

LINE UP ANNOUNCEMENT
Thank you to everyone who submitted their car for the display. It was very hard work trying to narrow the entries down to 20, but we feel we've now got an eclectic mix of cars that represent the breadth of PistonHeads and the variety of owners that we're so proud of. So without further ado (and in no particular order)...
Friday
Saturday
Sunday
It would be great for everyone to join us across the weekend in our club area (next to the icon display outside the PistonHeads pub) – full details on how you can secure your place are available here. Club area bookings will close on the 31st May so you'll need to book this month if you want to join us and get our discounted package.

Hi Ben,
How do we know if the cars on the silverstone classic list are ours?
A Megane Trophy R is part of the list for the weekend but none of these were on the entry page, yet two Megane R26r’s were however and one is one of them.
Maybe I’ve been silly and have missed the obvious, so apologies in advance.
Many thanks
Neil
