Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) - Club Chairman Posted May 26, 2020 Share Posted May 26, 2020 A further update today; as was probably inevitable, the 2020 Classic has now been cancelled, the 30th anniversary will hopefully, now be held next year, instead. Press release here: https://mailchi.mp/silverstoneclassic/ydx8bo3ncc-1883497?e=d2a26bdfe7 Further info from the organisers. Quote 2020 tickets Anyone who has a ticket will have the option to roll their tickets over to the 2021 event or request a full refund. There are a number of measures we need to put in place first, but we will be back in touch with all ticket buyers in June with details of the next steps. In light of the current situation, we have a reduced team who are dealing with a high number of enquiries, so please do bear with us. We’ll be in touch soon. In the meantime, and above all else, stay safe and healthy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Faulkner Posted May 26, 2020 Author Share Posted May 26, 2020 Thanks Dave. Yep, sorry but its cancelled. From the organisers.. We promised you an update before the end of May… and it is with a heavy heart that we bring you news that the 2020 Silverstone Classic will not be going ahead. Following the latest Government advice, we have reached the inevitable conclusion that we will need to cancel this year’s event. Given the current circumstances and the outlook on timescales, a postponed event - which was our original back-up plan - in a way that enables us to run the Classic in the manner that you know and love isn’t a feasible option. Our priority at all times is the safety and wellbeing of those attending our events as well as our own team and we know that you’ll understand why this step has been necessary. Our heartfelt thanks must go to all of you for your patience throughout this period of uncertainty. As an independent events company passionate about what we do, we are proud to have developed the Silverstone Classic into an internationally renowned historic motorsport festival enjoyed across generations of car enthusiasts, families, racing drivers, and petrolheads. In times of difficulty, communities tend to come together and we’re incredibly grateful for your continued support. It means a lot. All of you are what makes the event the success that it is and we hope to celebrate our 30th anniversary with you next year instead. 2020 tickets Anyone who has a ticket will have the option to roll their tickets over to the 2021 event or request a full refund.

Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) - Club Chairman Posted May 26, 2020 Share Posted May 26, 2020 Strangely, though I couldn't do this year anyway, it kind of makes me want to definately do next year, and would be nice if clubs really got behind the event and gave it a triumphant return! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
