Tickets for the festival will go on sale from November 6, with early bird prices available.

It has been 75 years since Silverstone hosted the first official F1 Grand Prix in 1950.

The festival will celebrate this with a line-up of retro races and displays, with further details to be announced.

The festival will also feature the cream of Europe’s premier historic racing championships covering all of the sport’s golden eras.

Nick Wigley, event director, said: "2025 is a massive milestone in the histories of both Formula 1 and Silverstone, and there could be no better occasion to celebrate the World Championship’s 75th anniversary than at Silverstone Festival.

"We have some huge plans in the pipeline which we will be announcing in the coming weeks and months.
