World's Largest Gathering of MG Cars Returns to Silverstone

17 June 2007

The recently-launched MG TF will make its first public appearance at the MG Car Club's 57th annual international race meeting at Northamptonshire's Silverstone Circuit during the weekend of Friday 22 to Sunday 24 June.

The Longbridge-built sports car will take pride of place alongside thousands of other MGs, represented by over 14 model registers, and will be accompanied by knowledgeable personnel from Nanjing Automobile Corporation (www.mg-uk.co.uk), who will be on hand to answer questions from anyone visiting Silverstone.

Silverstone International is the highlight of the MG racing season, with a full day's practice on Friday and 16 races over Saturday and Sunday on the International circuit, including invitation races for Morgan and Triumph cars.

Among the 550 race entries - a record for this event - are several ex-works MGs and Triumphs, including the Abingdon-prepared Sebring Sprite raced by Stirling Moss.

The headline MG Trophy race, for MG TF and ZR models, will be sponsored for the first time by Nanjing Automobile Corporation (NAC).

"Competition is at the heart of the MG brand," says Richard Jones from the MG Car Club, "so it's great to see that NAC MG really understands what MG is about."

Families and motoring enthusiasts will be entertained by a wide variety of events, including rally car rides, a gymkhana, circuit tours and 'pride of ownership' competitions. Details of all activities can be found on www.mgcc.co.uk.

Adult tickets are £17.50 on the gate (£30 for all three days). Accompanied children under 16 are admitted free. Admission price includes FREE car parking and access to the centre, paddock and grandstands.

Tickets can be purchased by calling 01235 555552, or online at www.mgcc.co.uk.
