250 GTOs at Goodwood: Pic of the Week

It's Revival weekend, so why not get your desktop appropriately attired?



How to sum up the Goodwood Revival in one picture? It's that time of year again, and a Revival related pic just had to feature the Friday before; but what to choose?

With touring cars, sportscars and open-wheel racers to choose from, we were hard pushed to select one. But the undoubted highlight of weekend will undoubtedly be Sunday's TT race and today's POTW hopefully proves why. As well as the E-Types and the Lister Chris will be driving, the Revival is legendary for its collection of racing Ferraris, particularly 250 GTOs.

So why not have four in one picture? This picture comes from last year's celebration of the GTO at Goodwood marking 50 years since its introduction. Even without that occasion this year, expect to see plenty on circuit over the weekend for the TT race, being thrashed in a way no car worth £20m reasonably should. We can't wait!

Raced and taken care of.

Spa 6 Hrs next week. Not that much Ferrari over there. A 250 SWB in the 6 Hrs race though. Pack of - what, 10? - GT40 cars will try to make it to the podium.

Check ace Kenny Brack holding on in one and pass competitors. Stunning.

Super Swede Brack lives in Belgium and he will be sharing a GT40 with Glasel.

Jay Kay joins Maxted Page in a Porsche 901.

Monkey does a 6 Hrs with the Frankel bros Falcon, just like last year.

Maybe check the entry list:

Watching Mr Bamford's 250 LM being pushed to the limit by a Mr A. Newell was fantastic.

Note to self: When looking to buy a 250 GTO, they look better with three gills on a side instead of two.

It isnt legendary for its Ferraris, if anything the Revivals essence and spirit has generally been in the Astons, Jags, Cobras and Lotii.
