Damon Hill To Celebrate 25th Anniversary Of F1 Victory At Silverstone
Damon Hill will return to Silverstone to mark the 25th anniversary of his Formula 1 World Championship triumph later this month, where he will be reunited with his title-winning Williams FW18 at The Classic.
Hill was crowned F1 champion in 1996, becoming the first son of a World Champion to take the title, with his father Graham having won the event in both 1962 and 1968.
The younger Hill will take part in demonstration laps on Sunday 30th July at The Classic, which takes place at the British Grand Prix circuit from 30th July – 1st August.
“While it’s hard to believe that 25 years have now flown by, it’s always an amazing experience for me to get back into that Williams – so many special memories come rushing back,” said Hill.
“Having once again been given the opportunity to drive the car at the British Grand Prix (photos below), I’m now really excited to be coming back to Silverstone for another blast at The Classic.”
Nick Wigley, CEO of The Classic promoter Goose Live Events, added: “After such a roller-coaster ride, Damon’s title victory was something few of us will ever forget.
“It will be an honour for us to have him and his World Championship winning Williams performing at The Classic – yet another highlight on what’s already an incredible bill.”
