Only putting this in this Goodwood Events section as I expect Sarah will read it, and hopefully we will get Goodwood's view on it.

Due to some idle browsing, I came across the following page on the Goodwood web site.



https://www.goodwood.com/motorsport/members-meetin...

The implication being that JD Classics are endorsed, recommened or celebrated by Goodwood.
I was somewhat surprised, as it is well know that JD Classics were involved in a recent fraud case.

Before, this gets taken down as alleged defamation, judgement has been made as evidenced here https://www.bailii.org/ew/cases/EWHC/Comm/2020/284...
Though I believe other cases may still be on going.
I realise that the JDC name was aquired by Woodham Mortimer, who for some strange reason, then tried to resurrect the JDC name despite its poor record.

I note that the JDC link has actually been removed from the partners' page https://www.goodwood.com/motorsport/members-meetin... but remains as above. Maybe it is a error and should have been removed.

The 'strangeness' continues, as the Woodham Mortimer site still has the 1000 Miglia graphic, even though they were told not to be associated with the event.

Does Goodwood want to be associated with these people?

ETA: Added image of page

Unless there has been further developments I am not aware of, isn't this old news?
The fraud is very much old news... the question was only raised as by chance I came across Goodwood still mentioning them as partners (though I suspect from an old link embedded in their site)
