Following the announcement of the one-hour Pre-’63 GT race at the Silverstone Classic, organisers have announced a great response from owners of everything from the exotic GTO and short wheel base Ferraris and Aston Martin DB4GT and Zagatos (and even a Project car), to AC Aces, Alfa SZs and Giuliettas, Morgans, Lotus Elites and MGAs.

Many owners have welcomed the opportunity to race their cars within a grid that more closely reflects the specification in which the cars raced originally. Open by invitation to GT cars built and homologated before January 1st 1963, the grid will be one that truly represents early 60’s GT races. By ensuring a level playing field, with adherence to the period homologation papers, particularly with regard to tyre and wheel dimensions and ride height, owners of cars that were competitive in their day, but are not particularly competitive in “modern” historic racing, will enjoy racing with like-minded drivers.

It will be a step back to the spirit of the TT and other high profile races of the early ‘60s, when entrants often drove their cars to the circuit on the road.

Having only announced the race only a few weeks ago, organisers already have entries from all of the models of car listed above and are looking for the most original examples they can find, mindful of an even spread throughout the classes.
