The event is made up of a number of races featuring classic formula 1 cars from different era\u2019s and other events like drag racing and at the end of the three day weekend there\u2019s a concert with top headline acts, this year was Carlos Santana and the Pussy Cat Girls.<!--more--><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Spectators have free rein of the paddock and all of the stands, so you can get close and personal with the race cars. There are also a number of collections from all the top car manufacturers. One event we could go on was a Caterham Experience where we were power slid around a course. At the event we also got to meet Murray Walker, Conor and I got a picture with him after he signed one of his books that I bought for my Dad\u2019s birthday.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We were luckily enough to get free tickets to an annual Classic Car event held &hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":141,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[67],"tags":[156,68,69,70,57],"class_list":["post-149","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-experiences","tag-car","tag-caterham","tag-classic-event","tag-power-silde","tag-silverstone"],"aioseo_notices":[],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/kevinbillington.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/silverstone.jpg?fit=400%2C266&ssl=1","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p45vMv-2p","jetpack_likes_enabled":true,"jetpack-related-posts":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/kevinbillington.com\/site\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/149","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/kevinbillington.com\/site\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/kevinbillington.com\/site\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kevinbillington.com\/site\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kevinbillington.com\/site\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=149"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/kevinbillington.com\/site\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/149\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":151,"href":"https:\/\/kevinbillington.com\/site\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/149\/revisions\/151"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kevinbillington.com\/site\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/141"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kevinbillington.com\/site\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=149"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kevinbillington.com\/site\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=149"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kevinbillington.com\/site\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=149"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
