The 71-year-old movie legend, who played Captain Jean-Luc Picard in the iconic sci-fi series, has just passed his official ARDS racing driver test and is ready to compete in a special Celebrity Challenge race at this summer's Silverstone Classic powered by the AA. This is the world's biggest classic motor racing festival and takes place at the famous Silverstone circuit in Northamptonshire (birthplace of the FIA Formula One World Championship) from 20-22 July.
Stewart passed both written and driving tests required to obtain a MSA competition licence at Silverstone. He is pictured with the Morgan that he will be racing at this year's Silverstone Classic.
The Hollywood actor will line up on the starting grid alongside a host of personalities from showbiz, sport, TV and music all racing around the famous Silverstone Grand Prix circuit in lightweight, competition prepared Morgans capable of topping 130mph. Those taking part include award-winning chef Heston Blumenthal, lifestyle guru Jo Wood, Dave Vitty from Radio 1 in the UK, Sky Sports presenter Vicky Gomersall, legendary rocker Brian Johnson from AC/DC, and Strictly Come Dancing's Brendan Cole.
