LOCATED at the home of British Motorsport, Silverstone Circuit, no other UK car show offers so much!

The MG Car Club celebrates 60 years at Silverstone!

If you’ve never attended MGLive! but are considering visiting the event in 2010 you won’t be disappointed. We know that members join and are loyal to the club for different reasons and we also know that you enjoy your MGLive! event in different ways.

For many people, it is about meeting old friends. Friends built up over the years who may be from all corners of the country and even the world. MGLive! is the event where everyone gets together to celebrate everything that’s great about MG cars and MG people.

Another big draw of the event is the entertainment on offer. Displays of the very best MGs, amazing driving skills, the joy of a three day long haggle with the trader who has just the spare part you have been looking for all year!

Best of all, MGLive! isn’t like any other event because it gives you the chance to be a part of it, to really be involved in the activities. This weekend, you’re in the driving seat.

A PLACE TO MEET FRIENDS AND SOCIALISE

You know what they say – other countries in the world have a climate but Britain has weather!

And whatever that weather may be, the undoubted centre of the social scene is the 900m² covered social area which provides the venue to meet up with friends old and new, eat, drink and party.

Good food is available all day at reasonable prices, backed up by a bar and a friendly atmosphere. Accepted as a great success last year, the SATURDAY NIGHT PARTY with freshly cooked food, live music and a welcome to all our overseas visitors was completely sold out.

We’re sorry if you missed out but we have increased the capacity for this year. There is NO INCREASE in price and we advise you to BOOK EARLY to be sure of your place.

Visitors from outside the UK will not only be welcomed on Saturday evening but also in the Arena, a chance to showcase some superb MGs that we perhaps only see in the UK once a year. If you’re thinking of travelling from continental Europe – and what a wonderful opportunity the strength of the Euro provides this year you won’t be disappointed.

Over in the Club Marquee, the Centre and Register stands provide another great spot for those with a shared passion for every type of MG to meet up the theme this year being 60 years at Silverstone, whilst for others, the camping area will provide a place to continue the sociable side of the event. There is undoubtedly a sociable aspect in browsing through the trade stands, with banter and bargaining throughout the weekend.

A CHOICE OF ACTIVITIES – GET INVOLVED

MGLive! has always been about action and members driving and enjoying their MGs so we will keep up this important tradition. We kick off in the now tradition manor with the Tour De Sliverstone on the Friday afternoon, there’s a separate piece in the news pages and advert elsewhere.

For those who haven’t been to MGLive! before the Silverstone complex is huge and we will use every bit of it, providing opportunities for you to get involved with absolutely any type of MG. The California Cup Autotest is a real test of driving skill and will see teams from MGCC Centres across the UK as well as others competing for one of the finest trophies the club has.

As an added attraction the new improved ‘Stowe Circuit’ plays host to a Sprint organised by the North West Centre of the club and the Rally Stage is in operation with rides in a full rally specification MG ZR available to the brave of heart.

On Sunday morning, visitors will be able to book up for Circuit Tours where they can take their own car out on the circuit for a couple of laps conducted in safety by a club’s course Car. As the British GP follows five weeks after us at Silverstone, taking part in the circuit tour gives you a tremendous insight into what racers – from F1 to our own MG racers – face at this circuit.

Some of the action is less high octane but equally intense as competitors with the very best examples of MG cars take their chance to shine in the Concours and Pride of Ownership events. Generously supported by Meguiars, the prizes involved will attract some fine and original cars, so don’t miss the tension as the judges choose the winning cars.

ENTERTAINMENT FOR ALL

First and foremost of course is the SUPERLATIVE RACE PROGRAMME. This event has taken the gathering into the record books as the biggest one-make race meeting in the WORLD and the biggest race meeting in the UK with more than 600 drivers taking part! The entertainment is non-stop, the best grandstand seats that Silverstone has to offer are FREE and if you only go to one race meeting this year, MAKE IT THIS ONE!

Slick organisation and superb commentary make this event a joy for drivers and spectators alike and if you want to show your appreciation of the drivers, come along to the Race Welcome Centre in the paddock for the presentation after each race.

Back by popular demand is the ARENA, a true centre where you can find entertainment throughout the weekend, showcasing the best that the club and the world of MG has to offer. All the main components of the weekend will either take place in or be introduced in the arena – at MGLive! we will bring the entertainment to you! A leading XTreme trials display team will amaze you with their two wheeled antics. There will be sessions throughout the day so you can come back to check that what you saw first time was actually happening! (Saturday only).

MGLive! 4 - 6 June 2010. THE BIGGEST MG SHOW ON EARTH, DON'T MISS IT!
