Going to Goodwood is on my bucket list! Sadly, I'd have to win the lotto first. Great feature to watch.

Goodwood is the greatest. The JD Classics E-type that won, had, according to one report, a 3.8 XK engine producing 420bhp! They were never that powerful in period.
Members Meeting is possibly even better. Fewer spectators, same mix of period racing and atmosphere, although this year's MM racing was a little too er... eventful. It seemed that most races were marred by 'unforced driver errors', sometimes involving scenery, sometimes other cars. The Revival was much better in this respect. One thinks some of the drivers had been given a special briefing.
