Hi Stacey @BMBabe.

Found the code at Last Please count me in again for 2020. See you all soon. Cant wait to have a cool beer in the Village surrounded by good friends and an array for fantastic cars. All the best Stuart.

That's assuming Silverstone Classic goes ahead. MG Live, also at Silverstone on 13th and 14th June, has been "postponed" already. I bought my tickets for the Classic weekend very early, but am not convinced I will be able to use them. Events are being cancelled all the time, and the dates of those events are marching forwards. Up here in Scotland the Bo'ness Revival Hill-Climb has just been cancelled and that was due to be held in September. Sorry to be a doom-sayer, but I think this lock-down will not be a short term thing.

E Mail received yesterday from Silverstone regards Classic

An update from the Silverstone Classic regarding COVID-19

We wanted to get in touch to update you on the situation regarding coronavirus (COVID-19) and the Silverstone Classic.

While the latest guidance from the UK Government is to stay at home over the coming weeks, we remain hopeful that the Silverstone Classic will go ahead in four months as planned, although COVID-19 may have some impact on how we run elements of the event.

We appreciate that this is an evolving situation, so in the unlikely event that we have to postpone the event from its current scheduled dates, we will determine a date with the Circuit as soon as possible to which we can postpone the event and we will publish details as a matter of priority. All tickets would remain valid.

In the meantime, we’ll continue to monitor the situation and follow the updates and advice given by the UK Government, the World Health Organisation and other public bodies. Wherever necessary we will be taking sensible precautions to help minimise the spread of the virus (our full team have been working from home since last week) and we will share updates in this regard over the coming weeks and months. Our FAQ’s are constantly updated here.

Please look after yourselves and those around you at this challenging time. We’re all in this together.

All the best,
The Silverstone Classic Team

Thanks Paul. Yes, I received that message too, but we are in uncharted waters here. I hope the organisers are right, but I won't be surprised if they are not.
