The diverse celebrity line-up will be racing 130 mph Morgan V6 Roadster sports cars around the iconic Silverstone circuit to raise money for the Bobby Moore Fund for Cancer Research UK. Already an accomplished track driver, Heston Blumenthal thrilled visitors when he took to the wheel during the passenger ride session.
The E Type Jaguar will celebrate it's 50th Birthday at the motoring festival with many special races and displays. The media were given a preview with a specially staged parade of these iconic sports cars.
