Alain Prost, the most successful Formula 1 driver to have ever raced at Silverstone and several other fellow drivers will be part of the ceremonies surrounding the 50th F1 Grand Prix at Silverstone.
Having won the British Grand Prix five times (1983, 1985, 1989, 1990 and 1993), Alain Prost is the most successful F1 driver ever to have raced at Silverstone.
His record of five victories is equalled only by the great Jim Clark, whose British Grand Prix wins were split between Silverstone (1963, 1965, 1967), Aintree (1962) and Brands Hatch (1964).
The parades will take place on all three days of this year's event, celebrating Silverstone's 50th Grand Prix in style, as a host of motor sport greats lap the Grand Prix Circuit in cars that have helped shaped history at the famous Northamptonshire Circuit.
Prost will drive the Red Bull RB8, which was driven to victory at the 2012 British Grand Prix by Mark Webber, his second win at Silverstone.
Other legendary cars and drivers confirmed to take part in the 50th Grand Prix parades include:
