To celebrate 75 years of the VSCC racing at Silverstone, we  will be having a two day meeting to kick-off the VSCC racing season, with Silverstone as is tradition, playing host as the curtain raiser. 

This years marks the anniversary of the founding of English Racing Automobiles and we will be having a race for ERA`s and cars that would have raced against them in period.

HGPCA are with us on Saturday and Sunday with grids for Front engined and Rear engined cars.

FISCAR will be with us on Sunday for the 50s Sports car Race

With a number of invited grids joining the usual eclectic VSCC contingent, expect two exciting days of motor racing at this iconic circuit.
