Silverstone Classic 2017 - 28/29/30 July
Date change for the Silverstone Classic 2017
Yesterday (30 November 2016), the FIA ratified and released the FIA Formula 1 calendar for 2017 which included a surprise change to the British Grand Prix date, now confirmed as being the weekend of the 16th July - a week later than the provisional dates. Due to massive operational complexities it is impossible to hold the two largest annual events at Silverstone on consecutive weekends and so the confirmed date for the Silverstone Classic in 2017 is the weekend of the 28/29/30 July (a week later than our provisional dates).
For anyone that has bought their tickets already, these will obviously be valid for the revised dates and we look forward to seeing everyone a week later than originally planned. Anyone who bought tickets between the 5th November and 1st December 2016 and is now unable to attend the 2017 event due to the date change has until the 28th February to request a full refund on their tickets. Details have been sent to all ticket purchasers to let them know how to do this.
We’re sorry to have to make this change but unfortunately it’s due to factors outside of our control. We hope to see you at next year’s event!

I'm a very happy chappy. The kids don't finish school until the 21st so it's brilliant for me.

My new best mate, the postie, dropped my tickets off today. What a lovely chap he is. I see we're in the same general area as last year.

I haven't had the seating plan mailed through yet
I know that they are working to a new level of security, which should be interesting at the gate.

Re: Silverstone Classic 2017 - 28/29/30 July
Is anyone taking a BBQ?
Just wondered if it was worth bringing some food to cook.
Michael we will aim for you if you don't mind a Mustang camping with you.

We'll have a camping stove and frying pan so if you bring the food then we'll assist with cooking. Please feel free to throw your tent up near us.Trevor Gent wrote:Is anyone taking a BBQ?
