Rounding off the action packed weekend, on the Sunday Silverstone’s Firework and Bonfire evening will be lighting the skies over the Home of British Motor Racing.

Silverstone MotorSport UK, taking place in the Silverstone Wing will showcase all categories of national motorsport. More than 100 exhibitors from the national motorsport field will be displaying their services and products, including car manufacturers, national racing series, racing clubs, suppliers and industry associations. Over 4,000 visitors are expected over the two days, making the show the largest exhibition to date in The Wing.

Highlights of the 2012 Silverstone MotorSport UK event will include:

  • The Kit Car Pavilion - A showcase of some of the UK’s top kit car and specialist car manufacturers, in association with Kit Car Magazine and Total Kit Car magazine

The show will also make use of Stowe Circuit, Silverstone’s infield track with its own facilities, as part of The Silverstone LIVE Experience, while The Track Driver Hot Laps Experience will provide visitors with some hands-on time with vehicles and teams.

On-track the Walter Hayes Trophy, the largest race meeting for Formula Ford cars in the world, will be taking place on Silverstone’s National Circuit. Living up to its billing as a crowd favourite, the knock-out format regularly attracts over 150 drivers, from talented newcomers to experienced veterans, generating close racing and nail-biting tension.

Marking the end of a busy weekend, Silverstone will be hosting a free fireworks and bonfire night on the Sunday for all members of the family to enjoy.
