Those at Goodwood for the Members' Meeting experienced something of a surprise after Gerry Marshall Trophy qualifying: the JD Classics Rover SD1, driven by the winning duo of Gordon Shedden and Chris Ward, was down in eighth place. A tough ask for the race then...
Here's the JD Classics video of that race weekend, and how - spoiler alert - the Ward/Shedden duo managed to overcome the qualifying handicap to take victory. It was helped significantly by a slow Camaro pit stop, but a win remains a win.
As is becoming familiar from JD Classics now, this video is far more than a simple onboard in amongst the wood and velour (see here for one of those). It's filmed in 4K, interspersed with period saloon car racing footage and gives a great look at the Members' Meeting atmosphere. Racing footage isn't bad either...
So set aside a few minutes in your Friday afternoon schedule - it's nearly the weekend, after all - and indulge your classic touring car dreams with this vid. And if anyone knows of a motorsport Rover SD1 for sale, do let us know...
