The 2013 Silverstone Classic – the world’s biggest classic motor racing festival – broke its own record number of entries, producing some of the best historic racing ever seen in the process.
A record total of 1113 single-seater, sports car and touring car machines, spanning nearly 90 years of motor sport history, followed up Saturday’s action with another packed bill of races on Sunday, watched by a record crowd of close to 90,000 fans over the weekend.
A parade of more than 1200 Porsche 911s took to the Silverstone Grand Prix circuit – a world record number of the cars – as the Silverstone Classic celebrated the 50th anniversary of the world’s most iconic sports car.
Sabine Schmitz is preparing to make her Silverstone Classic (26-28 July) debut racing a 220mph Porsche 962 in one of the massive event’s thrilling races for Group C prototypes. The 44-year-old German first came to fame as the ‘fastest taxi driver in the world’, a title she gained for driving passengers around the full 12.9-mile Nürburgring Nordschleife circuit at very high speeds.
