Silverstone announces packed September programme of racing and family events
Silverstone Museum is gearing up for a busy September, with endurance racing, touring cars and a special two-day remote-controlled racing event among the attractions on offer.
The museum says the end of summer will not mean the end of the action, with a packed programme of motorsport events planned throughout the month.
Among the highlights will be the European Le Mans Series (ELMS), which comes to Silverstone from September 11 to 13.
A 47-car grid will take part in four hours of endurance racing, alongside family entertainment and opportunities for spectators to get closer to the cars, teams and drivers.
Silverstone Museum will then host a two-day R/C racing event on September 19 and 20 in partnership with Junction 16 Racing and Schumacher R/C Racing. The event will feature 2WD racing on the Saturday followed by 4WD action on Sunday.
The British Touring Car Championship will round off the month on September 26 and 27, with a programme of support races also taking place. BTCC ticket holders will receive free entry to Silverstone Museum during the weekend.
September will also be the final full month of the museum’s Driven By Design exhibition, which explores technology that has shaped motorsport and includes Nigel Mansell’s iconic Williams FW14B.
A Home Educator Day will also take place on September 9, offering young learners hands-on sessions exploring motorsport technology alongside the chance to visit the museum’s exhibition.
