The start of this weekend’s Silverstone Classic has begun. The world’s biggest historic motor racing festival will run over the next three days at the world-renowned circuit in the UK.  With the pits and paddocks being packed with hundreds and hundreds of legendary racing icons from yesteryear, this is not an even to be missed.

While the track will witness no fewer than 20 evocative retro races covering ten memorable decades of motorsport history, this weekend’s award-winning festival will maximise its new Bank Holiday date by offering more family entertainment than ever before. Visitors will also be able to view a display of all seven of  Lewis Hamilton’s championship-winning Formula One cars. Damon Hill will also be at the Classic over the weekend and you can see him being interviewed on the main stage.

Paul Foster is trackside for the next three days and he will be bringing us all the action to view right here at Racerviews.

We start off with Friday’s action.
