Goodwood Members' Meeting: Pic Of The Week

Minis, Escorts, Capris, a Camaro and a Dolly Sprint - historic touring cars at its best!

---

One of the great joys of the Goodwood Members' Meeting is that it doesn't adhere to the same pre-1966 threshold as the Revival. For fans of historic touring cars, that is unequivocally A Good Thing.

Nowhere is that better evidenced than in this image from the Gerry Marshall Trophy at last weekend's 73rd Members' Meet. There's a Camaro hounding a Mini, a Mk1 Escort on the grass, numerous Capris, a BMW 5 Series amongst the maelstrom and a load touring car heroes from the 60-80s. The Rover SD1 of a certain Chris Harris, shared with Chris Ward, is lurking in the midfield too, en route to a podium place by the time the chequered flag fell.

So if modern tin-tops aren't really your thing, this POTW should be just the thing to brighten your desktop or homescreen. Enjoy!

Best race meeting ever.

The f3 "screamer" race finished with a winning margin of 0.018 seconds.
That race pictured was spoilt by a safety car intervention meaning an

epic drive by Tiff Needell was for nothing....

A 1970s Ariel Atom .

The advert didn't say 'Never raced or rallied' did it?

Surely, racing heritage makes it more valuable .

Is the airborne Alfetta GTV6 a better image? It has the Cheeky Chappy Clubman in the shot and it's nice colours. No Capris though.

I preferred watching this to the F1
Although the Moto GP at the weekend trumped anything.
