May is still young and it is quite daring, as previous editions have shown – with hail and all, to be organizing a large-scale racing outdoor event. But Lord March‘s team, undaunted, pulls out all the stops and organizes what is, somehow, like a Revival of the Spring (or, in music parlance and if Stravinsky had been consulted, a Rite of Spring – though it is also a lot more Rock’n Roll than that). And at once the Goodwood track is taken over by hundreds of racing monsters gathering from all over for a welcome warm-up to what will certainly be a busy season (what with the Tour Auto and the Mille Miglia right around the corner as well). And at once the air vibrates with the growl of those engines rearing to go after a (too) long hibernation.
We were fortunate, again, that Robbert – our Dutch Ambassador, long-time friend and talented photographer, among the many hats and caps he carries so well – decided to take the trip with his Cat (a well-used XK8 that loves to get in on the action) and brought back a magnificent series of pictures we have gathered here for your viewing pleasure – at life speed!
The Cat has arrived for the party
Is that what you came for, really?
.. and looks ready to party, if only the good Lord would let it
Time warped
All smoke, no mirrors
Not a trade, TLC is an art….
Proper racing all around
Proper racing all around
Proper racing all around
Proper racing all around
Proper racing all around
Proper racing all around
Proper racing all around
The Cat’s meets a sibling
The definition of red-handed maybe
The Mean Machines
The Silk Cut is the deepest
Those M1 make an impression – even when parked
Time to make a move
Time to make a move
Time to make a move
Time to make a move
Time to make a move
Twins, maybe
We can almost hear the banter from here
Your elders will go at it as well – and not spare anything either
Your elders will go at it as well – and not spare anything either
Your elders will go at it as well – and not spare anything either
77th Members’ Meeting at Goodwood – Paradise found, almost….
