  The organisers have also announced the return of the Royal Automobile Club Tourist Trophy for Historic Cars (pre-1963 GT), Under 2-Litre Touring Cars and Formula Junior to next year’s race programme with more exciting races still to be announced. The Formula Ford contests will be staged across both Saturday and Sunday and will star cars built and raced before 1972, as featured in the HSCC’s popular Historic FF1600 Championship.  Grahame White, CEO of the HSCC, said, ‘These are cars from the glorious early years of Formula Ford and they never fail to deliver timeless and thrilling single-seater racing.’ White added, ‘Even though we are permitted to start grids of 54 cars on the full Silverstone Grand Prix circuit, we are still expecting to be over-subscribed, such will be the demand to be part of these wonderful races to acclaim 50 years of famed Formula Ford.’ Early Bird tickets for the 2017 Silverstone Classic are now on sale with prices for adults starting from £35 and the cost of the three-day weekend ticket remaining at £99.
