Silverstone Festival 22nd to 24th August 2025

[Mat Jackson 1975]

I may have a spare weekend adult ticket for this.  I have a show car ticket (which comes with 2 adult tickets) and I have a free child’s ticket for my son.  As there is only two of us coming I may have a spare adults ticket if needed…

OK, so who’s going this year then?

 

I might have just been granted a Pass-oot by the missus and before I start looking for one of the spare weekend passes that crop up, I just wondered who might be there to share a beer with 😁

 

After all… long time, no see!

@Kingster I’ve managed to get a infield pass for my “Westus” as well 😂

[Alex Gaskin]

I’m going to be there with work! Not 100% certain on the full list of cars we’re taking but so far:

 

3x 1952/3 Cooper Bristols

a 1955 Lister Bristol

a 1965 Lotus Elan 26R

an Ex-Jack Brabham Cooper T43

an Ex-Bruce McLaren Cooper T53

an Ex-Graham Hill Lotus 15

 

If any more come about, I’ll update the list!

Yeah, spotted that Mat - still deciding if I am definitely up for it (and if I do, is it camper van or boring motorways in a Lotus with no aircon 🤣)

All weekend for me!  Second outing for the New bright orange tent. No holes.

 

What can go wrong for me this year?  

[Hedley Bennett (HB46443) - Club Chairman]

Great Spot for the club stand!  Next to all the Historic and Formula 1 if my memory is correct?  Zone 4.

A hotel in Modena kindly did this to my car in 2023, whilst we visited the Ferrari museums on a rather moist day!

 

 

 

 

It wasn't really needed as my interior is often drowned and there's drain holes in the floors. I've not got carpets though.

 

@Hedley Bennett (HB46443) - Club Chairman had a camouflaged tarpaulin at Stoneleigh one year, but I bet he can't find it 😎

 

You could get a some thick plastic sheet from a builders merchant and use tank tape if it's a one off.

Unfortunately you couldn’t see the cover/obstacle when dark!  Leaving the Stoneleigh tent late that year was fun. Too many beers. We also meet the WSCC horse that year too!
