Day of Champions is Riders for Health's largest annual fundraising event where MotoGP stars and fans come together to support our lifesaving work in Africa.
Tickets cost just £15 and, with children under 16 going free, it's a great day out for the whole family this summer holiday. To book your tickets, visit www.silverstone.co.uk or call the Silverstone ticket line 0844 3750 500.
Entertainment throughout the day will include stunt shows from The Animal Action Sports Tour; combining the incredible skill, control and balance of World Champion trials rider Martyn Ashton with the spectacular aerial style of one of the world’s most exciting jump riders Blake Samson.
On the main stage, Eurosport MotoGP commentator Julian Ryder will be interviewing up and coming young riders in his chat show, and BBC MotoGP colleagues Matt Roberts and Steve Parrish will host popular biking quiz 'A Question of Bikes' where knowledgeable biking fans can win great prizes. Rock band Sidewinder will also be performing throughout the day.
There are plenty of activities to entertain the kids too, including a craft tent and Kiddimoto track. For classic bike enthusiasts a stunning collection of bikes, including Barry Sheene’s and John Cooper’s, will be on display. And at 12.00 the traditional Day of Champions ride-in will see 150 motorcycles arrive at the circuit in convoy led by British MotoGP star Bradley Smith and British Superbike champion Niall Mackenzie.
The highlight of the day is a live auction featuring all the stars of MotoGP where fans raise thousands of pounds bidding for unique signed racing memorabilia.
