The Best Historic Cars In The World - Racing

Yesterday my family and I went to the Goodwood Revival Festival, widely accepted as the best historc motorsport event on the planet.

http://media.goodwood.co.uk/revival/...eting_2007.pdf

The goodwood motorcircuit is on the perimiter road of the old WW2 RAF airfield, and was active from 1948 to 1966. It re-opened in 1997.



Because of its aero herritage, they bring in a load of warbirds every year too!


Spitfire


Bearcat


Lancaster


Mustang

They also had cars:


Mustang


Jaguar


ISO

Sadly the ISO had a rather stunning crash.



But the driver (a very experienced professional driver called Martin Stretton) was stretchered out with only a broken elbow!







The whole event has a 40s and 50s theme, and costume is actively encouraged.

I have the great fortune to live within a 1 hour drive.

Next year we're planning on going to the Festival of Speed (google it). A few years ago I went there and was bumped into by Phil Hill and troden on by Stirling Moss.

Moss is bloody short!

I would love to see that someday. Growing up as an ardent road racing fan in the '50's and '60's, even though I was in the U.S., Goodwood was very significant to me.
