Inside Silverstone's Super Sprint: The Most Unusual Grid We've Raced!

Four races. One 1951 Jaguar XK120. And barely a moment to catch our breath! 🏁 We're at Silverstone for the Equipe Super Sprint, a unique classic car racing event where historic racing cars from different eras and classes battle it out in a series of fast, closely matched races. Behind the wheel of our 1951 Jaguar XK120, Ian Beattie faces AC Cobras, Ford Escorts, TVRs, Mustangs and plenty of other unexpected rivals. After a strong qualifying session, we're thrown into a day of constantly changing grids, close racing and split-second decisions. But there's a twist: perform too well in one race and you could find yourself moved into a faster group for the next! Can Ian and our mighty 3.4-litre Jaguar XK120 fight their way towards a race win? Or will our refusal to sandbag leave us outclassed when it matters most?
