The 750 Motor Club have announced that they will no longer run around the 'National' circuit at Silverstone but the 'International' layout.

The club have become only the second club to organise a race meeting on the 'International' layout at Silverstone. The meeting will run over the 24th and 25th of August and will be known as the '750MC Summer Festival'. As the club are using the 'International' layout it will mean that the competitors will get new use the new 'Wing' pit complex. As well as this the International layout uses the Grand Prix start line, and competitors will face the fast right-hander at Abbey as the first corner of the lap. The circuit wends it way through the Village complex before the flat-out blast down the Hangar Straight to Stowe corner. The run through the Vale and Club corner completes the lap.

The Competition Manager Giles Groombridge said “The Silverstone weekend is always one of our most popular events of the year, I will be working with the circuit to ensure that the logistics of the event work, but it really is a great honour for 750MC to be able to use this magnificent new facility. This will be a fresh challenge for all of our drivers as the circuit has only been used for one BRSCC meeting up until now. We are already running events on the Donington Park Grand Prix layout, Snetterton 300 and Rockingham this season, so this will become the fourth brand new configuration for some of our championships, which should add spice to the racing.”
