You don't have to be a Bentley Drivers Club member to come to the club Race Day at Silverstone this Saturday. Just pay your £15 at the gate.
This year's meeting is not only the Club's 71st, but it will also commemorate Bentley Motors' centenary with a host of super activities lined up for all the family to enjoy. The weather's expected to be kind, too, so a great day is in prospect!

Tickets for the meeting are £15 on the day - adults only; children under 15 go FREE.

On track there will be eight races which will feature the sort of closely fought racing for which the meeting is renowned, while spectators revel in the summer garden-party atmosphere.

There will be scratch and handicap races for Bentleys along with events for FISCAR, the BDC Sports Car Challenge, a double header for the Aero Morgan Challenge and allcomers races including the TVR Challenge.
The meeting also offers a fantastic opportunity to enjoy seeing a select group of iconic pre-war race cars take part in a Cavalcade of Titans. The legendary Barnato-Hassan Special (above left), Napier-Bentley (above right) and Napier-Railton will share the track for the first time ever during the cavalcade which will showcase a stunning collection of classic Bentleys all with a racing pedigree.

Come and join us!

Thanks, sounds interesting. Would there be infield parking for non BDC Bentleys ?

Sorry for the late reply - once you have paid your ticket you can park where you like. There is plenty of parking in or near the Paddock, which is free to all, and which is loaded with Bentleys who are not necessarily BDC members. Not much use for this year, but will apply for 2020!

This year was excellent, especially the Parade of Titans - this included the Barnato-Hassan Special, Napier-Bentley and Napier-Railton with it's 24 litre aero engine.

David.

It was a good day, and lots of good races.
