July 22, 2016 – Lebanon’s Cedar Racing Team will be racing in force this year at Silverstone using its full array of exceptional classic racing cars.
The team will travel to Great Britain with the Jaguar E-Type, Lola T70, Lotus Junior, Cooper Climax and Austin Healey, with their sights set firmly on the outright victory which so far eluded them despite strong performances in the past years and class wins with a circuit length of 10 miles, 25 turns, unpredictable weather and strong competition from a field of nearly 50 starters.

Cedar Racing Team’s five British cars will be raced by four Lebanese drivers: Tarek Mahmoud, Galal Mahmoud, Cyril Bustros and Greg Audi, in five different races, including FIA Masters Historic Sports Cars (Lola T70), International Trophy for Classic GT Cars (Jag E-Type), Stirling Moss Trophy for Pre 61 Cars (Cooper Climax), Royal Automobile Club Woodcote Trophy for Pre 56 Sports Cars (Austin Healey) and Historic Formula Junior (Lotus Junior).
The Silverstone Classic is the biggest and best classic motor racing festival in the world, as well as one of Europe’s most entertaining and action-packed car-themed events. As tradition dictates, this summer’s Silverstone Classic (July 29-31) will be home to a huge number of enthusiastic car clubs all celebrating significant model or marque milestones with vast displays and glittering track parades.
