THE largest ever collection of MG sports cars is expected to congregate at Silverstone over the weekend of July 23-25 for the MG Car Club's International Festival in the marque's 80th anniversary year.
The 54th consecutive event is the largest MG event of its kind with an anticipated gathering of over 5,000 MG cars and 30,000 enthusiastic attendees. MG enthusiasts are travelling from all over the world just to be part of this special event, with almost every type of MG represented at Silverstone.
The MG Car Club, with assistance from MG Rover Group, are displaying a historic journey through time from the earliest MGs through to the latest MG XPower SV sports car, represented in a special marque.
The popular event includes model grouped parking, circuit races with over 500 cars entering 16 races. Rob Oldaker, MG Rover Group's product development director is competing in the double-header MG Trophy race in a works-prepared MG ZR 'ride-and-drive' car.
The 2004 event includes a full two-day race programme, sprint, rally rides, a massive trade presence, autotests, international concours, parades, circuit lappery, special exhibits and social events and looks set to draw even more MG devotees to the British Grand Prix venue.
