One of my favorite historic racing events of the year, the Silverstone Classic, took place on the weekend.

As always there was a vast and varied line-up of classes taking part, including Historic Formula Ford, Formula Junior, Pre-1966 Under 2 Litre Touring Cars, RAC TT for Pre-1963 GTs, Kidston Pre-War Trophy, FIA Masters Historic Formula 1, Gallett Trophy for Pre-1966 GTs, Maserati HGPCA Pre-1966 GP cars, FIA Masters Sports Cars, JET Super Touring Car Trophy, Jaguar Classic Challenge, Celebrity Challenge, and Group C Sports Cars.

Thanks to the kind folk at Silverstone Classic, I'm able to share the following beautiful images by Jakob Ebrey Photography, covering each grid.

I hope you enjoy them.

Yet another set of great pics. I find it interesting to note a few 4 door BMW 200. series cars.

Yet another set of great pics. I find it interesting to note a few 4 door BMW 200. series cars.

Thanks Rhys, glad you're enjoying the pics. Yes the BMW 1800s are a popular choice among the pre-1966 touring car brigade. I remember the first time I went to the Silverstone Classic back in the 1990s there was a two car factory BMW team competing in this class with a pair of 1800 Ti's. I thought it was a neat thing that BMW felt so proud of their racing heritage they supported a factory team in historic events. From memory, one of these cars won the race, beating the best Lotus Cortinas, Alfas, Falcon Sprints etc.

They were very dominate a few years back but the shift now seems towards the Cortins's. They were all like the blue and black chequered cars.

It may just be a strength in numbers thing Bruce, as so many Lotus Cortinas are now racing and teams are coming up with new tricks for getting more speed out of them.

Interesting there are so few Alfa's in the field though. These are always front running cars in this group.
