At last we have club member booking details for the BRDC Silverstone Classic (formerly the Silverstone Festival) which takes place on July 24th-26th 2026. As you might already know, this year sees the return of the Classic as we used to know it – as a top-drawer historic racing weekend focusing on racing and with less general ‘family’ sideshows such as foodie halls and playgrounds. We also anticipate the return of many of the classic car traders who drifted away as the event changed over the years.
We also have some great news regarding our track parades which were regrettably cancelled last year because the morning race schedule overran due to accidents. These have been re-instated and will now take place on Saturday 25th lunchtime and will be for all Esprit, Elise, Exige, 340R and Europa to mark their important anniversaries. Don’t miss this opportunity to join in the celebrations and drive the full Silverstone GP circuit. Exact timings and passes will be available on the day from our stand.
We’ve registered for our regular Club Lotus display ticket package and the booking window for Club ticket bookings is now open. You’ll need our exclusive Club Lotus booking code and all members should have recently received an email containing it. If you didn’t receive an email just call Club HQ with your membership number and we’ll tell you what it is. The code will also be in the April issue of Club Lotus News. Ticket packages give you two adult tickets plus a priceless free parking pass on our Club stand in the infield close to the action. All tickets also give free access to both race paddocks and trackside grandstand seating. Prices are very reasonable and considerably less than they were for the Festival. Friday is £20, Saturday and Sunday £40 each and an absolute bargain £65 for all 3 days.
To book go to www.silverstone.co.uk and click on ‘Events and tickets’ then ‘BRDC Classic’. Enter our club code and you’ll see the various display packages where you’ll find full details and can book your tickets. The website also has all the latest info and news about the event.
