Default Silverstone Classic

Hi There,

Went along to this on the Saturday and it was epic fun! A friend recommended it last year after we did Goodwood Revival.

It was much more laid back, much bigger place and as such there was room to move and do things and EVERYTHING was included, so you could just go in any of the open grandstands and down into some of the pits and everyone was friendly and chilled. Food & Drink was pricey but there weren't the massive queues.
It's more modern in it's outlook and there were many car clubs there with lots of different cars and quite a few modern things and not everything was pristine show room stuff, but normal cars!

Massive Porche and BMW clubs, lots of Fords and Fiats and the usual strange and wonderful.
However I didn't see much Audi stuff there. There was an RS Club stand which had a few bits, with RS's and S's but the closest I saw to an 8 was an R8 which was somewhat disappointing.
A couple of friends were there with cars on days and it seems you get discount tickets to exhibit which could be of interest???

Highly recommended just a bit of a Car fan though!
