Silverstone Classic 2020 cancelled - confirmed
Discussion
Just had this mail through sadly confirming this is cancelled for this year. The last car event I had in my diary I had some hope for, but of course I understand why.
We promised you an update before the end of May… and it is with a heavy heart that we bring you news that the 2020 Silverstone Classic will not be going ahead.
Following the latest Government advice, we have reached the inevitable conclusion that we will need to cancel this year’s event. Given the current circumstances and the outlook on timescales, a postponed event - which was our original back-up plan - in a way that enables us to run the Classic in the manner that you know and love isn’t a feasible option. Our priority at all times is the safety and wellbeing of those attending our events as well as our own team and we know that you’ll understand why this step has been necessary. Our heartfelt thanks must go to all of you for your patience throughout this period of uncertainty.
As an independent events company passionate about what we do, we are proud to have developed the Silverstone Classic into an internationally renowned historic motorsport festival enjoyed across generations of car enthusiasts, families, racing drivers, and petrolheads. In times of difficulty, communities tend to come together and we’re incredibly grateful for your continued support. It means a lot. All of you are what makes the event the success that it is and we look forward to celebrating our 30th anniversary with you next year instead.
Your 2020 ticket
Rest assured you will have the option to roll your tickets over to the 2021 event or request a full refund. There are a number of measures we need to put in place first, but we will be back in touch with each of you in June with details of the next steps. In light of the current situation, we have a reduced team who are dealing with a high number of enquiries, so please do bear with us.
We’ll be in touch soon. In the meantime, and above all else, stay safe and healthy.
With our best wishes,
The Silverstone Classic Team

Got the email but clocked it on here beforehand.
Felt gloomier about it when August 2nd was mooted as one of the dates for the double header GP; reminded me of my old colleague who said "I saw the new office floorplan and we weren't on it!!
Hopefully see you there next year.
I think with this year basically written off there will many of us really looking forward to 2021 events and no doubt some record attendances (assuming things are under control by then). Roll on some car based fun in 2021.....Felt gloomier about it when August 2nd was mooted as one of the dates for the double header GP; reminded me of my old colleague who said "I saw the new office floorplan and we weren't on it!!

It will be interesting to see if the second F1 race appears over the Classic dates and if the organisers have been gazumped or paid off.
