So weekend at the Goodwood 80th Members Meeting, and as you might expect an array of interesting cars and great racing... was surprised at how much the old timer stuff really drew me in. Sure "The Beast of Turin" is fascinating, 28 litre 4 pot😲... the engine note certainly odd So, aero cone on your exhaust manifold?  Surely a flat radiator isn't aero... imagine increasing the cooling area And the aero efficiency..  ... why not try a curved core?  So, modern race cars are complex to control?  Possibly the most beautiful car of the weekend, initially thought it was a Delahaye but was actually a Bentley.     Quirky and unconventional racer, possibly the Panhard. Looked odd the paddock and like a strange toy on track. Dare to be different?   Had to double take on this front I-beam reinforcement... yep,it looks like wood...  Two wheels more your thing?  ... is "Nice pair of Bristol" inappropriate terminology nowadays?Loved the rear bumper as well!   Attempt at a slightly "arty" curse word trying to get the car in the middle of the Super Shell...this was my closest effort..  Captions please....  And thanks, as always to the "orange army".. looks like he was enjoying his day  Lots more pictures to sort through(far faster and decisive than waiting a few days to process a 35mm film😬) |

Nice pics, watched a bit on tv over the weekend. The mk1 Lotus Cortina race was great, but those Edwardian things were epic. 20 plus litre V8’s (28 litre apparently one of them 😀) narrow tyres & pretty much no brakes. If you didn’t see it I urge you to watch it on itvx. Utterly brilliant

Haven’t been last few years to this but it’s the best race meeting by far. All the right cars and people and small crowds, awesome.
Lovin the mk1 fiesta.

Definitely wouldn't call the crowds small, but it's not FoS or Revival type levels, and broadly they are more into cars than for being at an "event" |

What amazing machines they are.
Those pre-war monsters need absolute gonads of steel, and large ones.
Thank you both for taking the time to record and share on here.

I watched about 16 hours of the Youtube Livestream over the weekend. Very entertaining. If you have a lot of time on your hands, you can look up Goodwood's Youtube channel and pick and choose highlight races. www.youtube.com/@goodwoodrr/videos Excellent stuff all round. Brave and flamboyant driving, with the occasional whoopsie. |
