It was Goodwood Revival 2010. I only say it from about 8.20 but there were E types, some cobra's and a few ferarris.

Didn't see any Austins. The cobras were hardtops though. Was there more than one race??

musta been if you didn't see the austin a 35. a little dissapointing as the racing is much more enjoyable to watch compared to the modern stuff we get .

Ah but Dizzy Addicotts DART was a pleasure to see racing, & winning :-)

ah the good old Mini van wheel base shines through :-)

Don't forget the dodgy "5 main" Crank Matt! I don't recall 'Dizzy' having access to one of them! :?

It was a Swifty car that Dart! :lol:

Yeh, that was pretty cool. Obviously I was going for the Jem :D
Pity they got the facts so wrong about the Dart - It was the steel prototype to the Marcos and Jem (not a car built to compete with them). Stephen Wray did a fantastic job of restoring it.

yeah , journos & commentators always seem to stuff up the facts, maybe sensationalizing things, or maybe they`re just stupid

either way , i still like the mini Van wheel base

Agree, the humble Mini Van shines in the corners alright. Nick Swift's no slouch on the race track, his 1460 Mini was a rocket (as you'd expect for a Swiftune built car - it's his company!).
