Even if you can’t travel to the UK for The Classic at Silverstone this weekend, for the first time in the event’s 30-year history, it will be streamed live online.
The festival previously known as the Silverstone Classic takes over the Northamptonshire circuit from Friday 30 July until Sunday 1 August.
Viewers will be able to watch the action as it happens, or catch up at a later date, on the event’s YouTube channel – and you can check out the preview below.

Also for the first time, two highlights programmes, hosted by Tiff Needell and Nicki Shields, will be broadcast in the UK on ITV4, at 8pm on Wednesday 11 and Thursday 12 August, with repeats on Sunday 15 and Sunday 29 August.
There’s a packed, 21-race timetable for this year’s Classic, which describes itself as the world’s biggest historic motor racing festival, including Historic Formula Junior, Historic Formula Two, and the ever-popular and hotly contested Royal Automobile Club Woodcote and Stirling Moss Trophies.
