The FIA Formula Two Championship begins the 2010 season at Silverstone Bridge GP circuit on 17/18 April 2010.

Jolyon Palmer ensured he ended the final pre-season Silverstone test, earlier this week, at the top of the timesheets after a series of blistering laps. Fellow Briton Dean Stoneman had to settle for second spot, with Johan Jokinen and Philipp Eng close behind. 

Both F2 races are taking place on the Sunday and the battle for race wins is sure to be close between the young F1 hopefuls.

The support line-up for the FIA Formula Two event consists of a tremendous selection of MSVR series and championships. 

The Lotus on Track Elise Trophy will be coming to Silverstone for their second event of the season. Expect the usual capacity grids and close, fast paced action.

The GT Cup has been awarded Championship status for 2010, and the first round of the new Championship will be taking place at Silverstone. A full grid of exotic GT cars has been confirmed for the weekend.

Fresh from Oulton Park, the Trofeo Abarth 500 GB Championship arrives at Silverstone for the first of two events at the Northampton circuit this year. Gareth Howell won both of the opening rounds at Oulton Park, so expect the remaining field to be chasing hard.

The GAZ Shocks Production BMW Championship and Toyo Tires Racing Saloons will be arriving at Silverstone with grids that are bursting with cars. With entries over subscribed both series are as popular as ever.
