The 24.3/info/silverstone" target="_blank">Silverstone 24 Hour was a sports car race in endurance racing, held annually at 24.3/info/silverstone" target="_blank">Silverstone Circuit in the United Kingdom until 2018.
The race was originally organised by 24.3/info/britcar" target="_blank">Britcar. The 2009 race was shortened to 500 miles due to the recession. In 2011 the race used the new arena section for the first time. In 2010 the race continued to use the bridge section that the race had used in previous years despite other racing series already switching to the new layout. The 2013 edition was shortened to 1000 km. For 2015 the race was called the Dunlop 24hr at 24.3/info/silverstone" target="_blank">Silverstone for sponsorship reasons.
On October 2, 2015 Creventic, the promoter and organiser of the 24H Series and the Touring Car Endurance Series, announced they would organise the 24.3/info/silverstone" target="_blank">Silverstone 24-Hour race in 2016. It was the third round of the 2016 24H Series season and the first round of the 2016 Touring Car Endurance Series season. Every round of the 24H Series can be entered with a GT car, but this race is only open to non-GT cars.
