Since I won't be able to make it to Snetterton, I'm definitely going to this. My hotel's already booked - just need to sort out the tickets now.

From past experience (I used to go to this event before it ceased in 2001 but haven't been since it was revived), it should be a great way to spend a weekend.
The race line up looks fantastic - Group C, 1966-1978 F1, pre 1966 F1, 90s super touring cars, 1964-1974 Le Mans/World Sportscars, pre 1963 GTs etc.

We really enjoyed it last year - we're planning to go again. Probably with tents..

I heard the group N cars won't be running again - which is a shame.

I'll be camping too - Whittlebury Park - two sites covering over 40 acres on the east boundary of the circuit with private footpaths into the track and road access off the A413. The site has a limited number of electric hook ups (pre-booking essential), showers, toilets and washing facilities. There are three on site bar/bistro/restaurants with a live band and pig roast on Friday and Saturday evening. Our 36 hole championship golf course is open to the public.

That's incredible value, considering the concerts are also included in the ticket price! http://www.silverstoneclassic.com/news_ ... ?newsid=23

I'm hoping to join you guys at this event, definitely camping. Who's arriving on the Friday night?

Are you sure Gary. I was looking forward to Pussy (cat dolls) on the Friday LOL

And the tickets are even better value as you get 2 for the price of one. I will probably have a spare ticket for the 3 days so if anyone wants one for half price contact me. Apparently we won't be receiving the tickets until about a week beforehand. I've got my camping info though and will be there sometime on Friday so save space for a wee one - tent that is !!
