Within the motoring world, a few issues occurred in 1948. The primary Land Rover was launched, the Jaguar XK120 grew to become the quickest manufacturing highway automobile, and – most vital to this story – Silverstone Circuit held its inaugural race on what have been the runways and perimeter roads of RAF Silverstone.

The UK is blessed with quite a few circuits and automotive occasions which happen yearly, on scales of various dimension and enchantment. The apparent comparability is Goodwood Pageant of Pace, however for as many issues that occasion and the Silverstone Pageant have in widespread, they’re totally different. Goodwood may be very a lot pomp and circumstance, which isn’t any unhealthy factor because it has a popularity to uphold in any case. However that does imply many areas are off limits until you both know the fitting folks or purchase into the exclusivity.

That’s the place this occasion differs. The price of entry ensures you entry all through; automobiles that have been by no means seen outdoors of grainy YouTube VHS uploads are in every single place you look. For individuals who keep in mind them racing in interval, it’s a visit down reminiscence lane. For individuals who by no means had the chance, there’s no higher time than now and no higher place than the Silverstone Pageant to expertise them firsthand.
