While the Hungaroring basked in the muffled sound of modern F1, screaming DFV's resonated through the Northamptonshire countryside thanks to the Silverstone Classic.

Founded in 1990, the packed weekend of vintage racing is a hugely popular event, for both competitors and spectators.

As usual, the high point was undoubtedly the FIA Masters Historic Formula One Championship, a series which caters to 3-litre F1 cars from 1966 to 1985.

There's nothing like Cosworth DFV power and some creative designs to throw us back to a bygone era to watch a superb spectacle of sight and sound.

Especially sound. So pump up the volume!

Phillip van Osten

Motor racing was a backdrop from the outset in Phillip van Osten's life. Born in Southern California, Phillip grew up with the sights and sounds of fast cars thanks to his father, Dick van Osten, an editor and writer for Auto Speed and Sport and Motor Trend. Phillip's passion for racing grew even more when his family moved to Europe and he became acquainted with the extraordinary world of Grand Prix racing. He was an early contributor to the monthly French F1i Magazine, often providing a historic or business perspective on Formula 1's affairs. In 2012, he co-authored along with fellow journalist Pierre Van Vliet the English-language adaptation of a limited edition book devoted to the great Belgian driver Jacky Ickx. He also authored "The American Legacy in Formula 1", a book which recounts the trials and tribulations of American drivers in Grand Prix racing. Phillip is also a commentator for Belgian broadcaster Be.TV for the US Indycar series.
