Michiel Campagne rushing by in his M8F.
Ex-Teddy Pillette Interseries car.
"OK Michiel, how was the run?"
Massive 8.3 without the turboes: still about 750 brake on tap.
Top bit on this kit is the bucket size gearbox - impressive! . . . As is the sound. Beats your lungs out when passing by.

I've been fortunate to see late-era Can Am McLarens race on a number of occasions. None with the conviction of Andy Newall in the Bamford M8F though. He was sideways like this every lap through the Old Hairpin. Not Bruce, Denny or Peter but certainly not frightened of the monster like so many seem to be.
Of course there are the M1Bs which Albert articulately describes above. Here at Goodwood and being so beautifully driven by Chris Goodwin and Roger Wills.
And the latest and greatest - the mighty M20. I hadn't seen one in the flesh until last year's FoS. This is Roald Goethe's and forms part of his already-legendary ROFGO collection. What a magnificent beast.
