Derek Bell in an F1 GTR!

Actually, Kenny Brack in another F1 GTR made me smile

Kenny vs Derek hopefully flat out for a couple of laps of Goodwood.

That'd be David Clark's Harrods car - the very same machine in which Derek Bell went toe-to-toe with JJ Lehto through the rain at Le Mans in 1995. I'll have a lump in my throat watching that.

I see Shaun Lynn is entered in an AC Le Mans coupe. Is that A98, does anyone know?

Take a look at the last pic posted in supercars spotted thread,might also bring back memories of 95.

Actual car enthusiasts talking about car enthusiast things on Pistonheads - I thought I'd never see the day.

Has anyone else noticed the distinct lack of Ferraris on the entry list?

The Mazda 787B on the entry list - does anyone know if that's the Mazda-owned Le Mans Winner or the privately owned 767?

The Goodwood threads and Classic Car threads are often mildly motoring inclined

Yes I think I noticed 2 ferraris in total, no 250 GTO's which is a shame as they mention it in the description of the Hill trophy.

As for the Mazda. The 767 was meant to be there last year but wasn't so I assume it will be that one.

[Gc285]

There are 32 High airbox GP cars,

But only 19 Group C cars mostly post 1990s ????

What about the early cars...only 3,
What about the C2 cars, Spices, Tigas, and the low production cars. ???????

[RichB]

Is that a complaint or a genuine question? Perhaps people don't race the ones you are talking about? Historic F1 is very popular.

That was Max Werner's 767B which was in the Group C support race at Le Mans last year, but didn't make it past a couple of laps...

I speak no other language.

There is also a 787B in the Musee at Le Mans, though I don't know whether it's a runner. It'd be a rare thing to see a typo in a Goodwood race card so let's wait and see. I'd strong suspect it's Max Werner in the 767B. There's an American chap (Jim something...) who ran a 757 a few years back in the Group C / GTP Champsionhip as well.

I reckon the Hill Trophy is going to be an absolute thriller. I'm going to chuck my hat in the ring very early and put a couple of quid on the Verdon-Roe / McIntyre Bizarrinni to be srapping with the win with the Bryant / Pearson Daytona Cobra. Rob Austin will be brilliant fun in the family Capri as well. He was always very quick in the Surtees TS20 when he ran in Masters GP.

[ecsrobin]

If my memory serves me correctly the bizzarrini's weren't running at the front last year?

B V-R was absolutely on it during the 2014 TT but got knocked into a lazy spin at Lavant. Jamie McIntyre knows how to drive Goodwood as well. He pulled off an absolutely astounding move around the outside of Madgwick during a Sussex Trophy back in about 2010. I'd need to check the archives but think he won two Sussex Trophies.

Anyway, I'm taking an early punt! Very tough to look past Pearson and Bryant though; that's one hell of a combo.

[DJRC]

Both the Bizza and the Daytona coupe have taken TT honours at the Revival. Was it Pirro in the Bizza when it won?

That's the revival I was thinking at last years MM

I don't think there was a race for pre-66 GTs at last year's MM was there? Certainly nothing which would've permitted the big bangers like Bizzas and Cobras.

The Bizza won the TT Celebration in hands of Hales and Attwood 2003 and 2004.

You are of course correct and I'm getting confused with the members meet and the revival. They all seem like so long ago.

[TimLambert7]

My enamel badge has arrived but, unlike last years, it has a black strand running through the string.

I assume this denotes Young Persons rather than a weird ticket I shouldn't have?

Probably. The only important bit is the QR code on the back.

First time for everything!

If you want a refresher on 72MM, this is my (admittedly rather verbose) report from the event: http://www.motorcardiaries.co.uk/2014/72nd-goodwoo...

[ecsrobin]

Interesting that Goodwood are still trying to sell tickets despite the great success of last year, however I half feel it is more the lack of information about what's going on than what the weather of March could bring.

It's also a shame that they are saying "Add the Hill trophy for E-Types, Cobras and GTOs" when there are no GTOs on the entry list???
