Silverstone Classic 2017 Snapper's Selection: Tom Shaxson

I had a couple of highlights from this years event, the first would have to be the FIA Masters Historic Formula One races. I can’t properly describe the noise or atmosphere of being on the grid before the first race – Henry Hope Frost made sure I was standing on the gantry for the race start, something I thank him for hugely as the spectacle and sound was something I won’t forget anytime soon!

The second highlight was the Jaguar Classic Challenge. The E-type, specifically the lightweight variant is one of my all time favourite cars, so to see pretty much a grid full of them was spectacular.

As always, choosing just twenty-four images from an event is always tricky - but these are my favourites from a brilliant event."
