If you are a newcomer to Silverstone there are three main access points into the paddock and infield area. The main vehicle bridge adjacent to Bridge Corner has separate pedestrian access, while the main footbridge at the Copse end of the main grandstands leads straight into the heart of the race paddock. A little nearer to Copse Corner is the pedestrian tunnel to the infield.

The main paddock area - which is open at all times to visitors - will contain around 600 of the finest classic and historic racing cars in the world. From the wonderful pre-war racing cars of Bugatti, ERA and Alfa Romeo to the sleek Group C and turbo charged Formula One cars of teh late 1980's, here is a chance to time-travel through motor racing history.

Watch out for autograph sessions and famous faces during the weekend. Take the opportunity to rub shoulders and talk to the many drivers in action at the 2008 Silverstone Classic.
