GOODWOOD REVIVAL 2017
Who said nothing happened during old car races? If it is true that some of the cars running here at Goodwood have tremendous value (the last Ferrari 250 GTO sold for $ 52M in early 2017!), It is also evident from these videos that most of the drivers did not spare their car this weekend on the mythical English circuit.
Thus the 51-type Bugatti of 1932, the 2 Alfa Tipo B of 1934, the Talbot-Lago of 1948 and other ERA B fought under heavy rain conditions, during the Goodwood Trophy, which brought together oldest cars between 1930 and 1950.
The Whitsun Trophy gathered on Saturday afternoon 10 Ford GT40 dating from 1960 to 1966 (including 1 of the 5 Ford GT40 Roadster existing in the world, worth over 7M $!), Lola-Chevrolet 1965/66, Lotus- Ford of 1965/66 and 1 Cooper-Maserati T61P "Monaco" of 1964, for the fastest race of the weekend at Goodwood. This resulted in the crash at over 200km / h, and in the rain, of the only Hamill-Chevrolet SR3 of 1966 that was engaged.
In fact, there were numerous runs, spins in all the corners leaving traces in the famous green lawns bordering on it, and crashes too: we will retain that of the Ferrari 250 GTO / 64 in out of the Super Shell turn before the Woodcote grandstand as she struggled with a Ferrari 250LM / 63 (back destroyed for a few million dollars!) or the 1966 Hamill-Chevrolet SR3 that pulverized her front hood!
The "Gentleman Driver" once again showed great courage, sportiness, combativeness, and elegance dressed in vintage fashion from the 1930s to the 60s.
