A Ferrari 'Classic' Father's Day

Well not literally of course. But what we have here is the closest you could possible come to giving your dad the supercar dream drive of his life. And not just on some deserted runway or a stretch off the highway, but at the world famous Silverstone circuit, where he can witness the forthcoming Silverstone Classic powered by the AA to be held from the 20th to the 22nd  of July.

As one of Europe's most entertaining car-themed events, the Silverstone Classic much more than a glorious celebration of motor racing heritage. It is a complete event dedicated to providing a fabulous day or weekend out for everyone, and it is getting even bigger for 2012.

Across three full days there will be attractions, entertainment and activities for all the family, headed by a glorious line-up of 24 races featuring many of the rarest, most spectacular and valuable classic racing cars in the world. Here’s your chance to give dad a look at the most spectacular grids ever seen in Great Britain covering Formula 1, Le Mans, sports and GT cars.

Adding to the non-stop entertainment, there’s even a special Celebrity Challenge race featuring famous faces from showbiz, TV, sports and music. This year’s star-studded line-up includes Sir Patrick Stewart, top chef Heston Blumenthal, BBC Strictly Come Dancing’s Brendan Cole and AC/DC ‘frontman’ Brian Johnson.

One significant new addition for 2012 is the launch of AA World, an automotive theme park with a host of action-packed activities plus free driving experiences. With an opportunity for all those aged six and over to get behind the wheel, this is one Father’s Day gift that any dad can enjoy with his entire family. Adding to the fun and frolic is a vintage fun fair, go-karts, aerial displays with wing walkers, hot air balloons, streetcar shoot-outs, and much more.
