From the Archives - 2010 Goodwood Revival

Grant Williams in a Jaguar Mk1 passing the Goodwood pits on his way to victory in the St Mary's Trophy Touring Car race.

For some reason, not even known to me, I have only been to the Goodwood Revival once.  Although, I did not have a good camera at the time, looking back at the pictures I took of the 2010 event makes me want to go back.  Everything from a sixties' Tesco store to the air display and the racing was great.  A trip to the paddock at the end probably produced my best pictures of the day.

The day started with an air display and then the Fordwater Trophy for small capacity GT cars for cars like the Mini-Dart, Mini-Gems and Sebring Sprites.  The Mini-Dart of Nick Swift seen leading here turned out the winner.

Next race was the Richmond Trophy for the front engined Grand Prix cars.  On the left Richard Attwood in a Ferrari 246 Dino leads eventual winner Gary Pearson in a BRM P25.   On the right Barry Whizzo Williams leads the field in the Ferguson Project 99 whilst a Scarab brings up the rear of the group in the chicane.

Later, I saw some of these fifties Ferraris and Maseratis in the paddock.

Particularly nice to see the Lancia-Ferraris in the paddock and in the race.

Maseratis - a 250F on track and a pristine A6GCM in the paddock.

The St Mary's Trophy and a 1958 Volvo Amazon 122S exits the chicane and is about to pass the pits.

Overall victory over the two days in the St Mary's Trophy went to Grant Williams and Derek Bell in this Jaguar MkI.   Behind is the Austin Westminster A95 that Tom Kristensen drove to victory on Saturday.

After lunch there were demonstrations of BRM and Surtees cars including John Surtees driving one of his cars.  Driving the pale Green BRM was Tony Brooks.

Main event was the RAC Tourist Trophy Celebration race.  On the left are two Ferraris and on the right is the AC Cobra of Hall and richards that finished fourth.

The penultimate race on Sunday was for the Glover Trophy and the sixties 1.5 litre F1 cars.   It was very nice to see Riochard Attwood in the BRM P261 beat Frank Sytner's Lotus 24.

More Lotuses.

Final race of the day was the Sussex Trophy for fifties sports cars and this brought out the D Type Jaguars.

Then it was time to go onto the start line and into the paddock.
