Pre-War Sports Cars Silverstone Classic

A new European Pre-War race series was launched in 2004 by Motor Racing Legends. Since then, the Motor Racing Legends Pre-War Sports Car Series has gone from strength to strength and has now grown into a major international series for genuine sports cars of the 1920s and ’30s.

The series is for ‘proper’ historic sports cars, running in road trim with wings and lights, and each round typically consists of two, 2-driver, 45-minute races on consecutive days. The races, open to a huge range of sports cars from the Twenties and Thirties, aim to recreate the heady days of Birkin against Caracciola, Blower Bentleys against the might of Mercedes-Benz, of Alfa Romeo and Talbot, and the great endurance racing of Le Mans and the Mille Miglia. The emphasis is on minimum bureaucracy and maximum fun.
