Yes a good race and I thought the Capri was going to win it until it was outgunned by the larger engined Camaro.
Did you see the interview with Jackie Stewart - he said all the greatest drivers including Lewis Hamilton had raced at Goodwood. But I don't think Lewis Hamilton has ever raced at Goodwood (he's too young) so what was all that about?
Jacki Stewart is loosing it, that's what. sad.

Lewis Hamilton (and one-time team-mate Jensen Button) used to test the McLaren MP4-12C at Goodwood. But unless he has participated in the Revival or Members Meet I though his only appearances were demonstration runs at FOS.Originally Posted by Phill
He doesn't seem to have a presence in historic motorsport, I guess he has a contract that prevents that kind of thing

Well, the Gerry Marshall trophy race was exciting, but I do get annoyed with this type of race - the cars represented cover 10 years of touring cars, only the Silverstone Classic runs races with such a broad period of cars, which is just as annoying. A championship winning Lotus 72 sits at the back of the grid because there is a 1980 Spice or some such in the same group. Pah! So it was obvious that the class of 1980 would come out on top.
I always feel sorry for Gregor Marshall, every year he enters a Firenza or Viva HB and runs around at the back of the grid (he was in a Group 1 Firenza this time). He certainly doesn't have the flamboyant style of his father, but partnered with "touring car legend" Matt Neal he should have done better. If cars from the Tricentrol Super Saloon series were allowed, we would have Baby Bertha on the front of the grid and that would have been that!
I can only assume that the silhouette cars are considered to be too mad for historic touring car racing, or perhaps the organisers worry that they would provide a better spectacle than today's BTCC (yawn)???

The cars were fantastic, especially the photos of that very low and special green machine, but I'm sorry Lauren, I've just found my highlight of Goodwood ............. Go Mark!!
