Some snaps taken at Goodwood Revival Today (and I mean snaps but you get the message)
The race was pure magic.

Smashing? Jimbo - you've made the transition. You ARE English! :laugh:

(hint - prefix it with 'simply' next time)

James - superb thanks.

Question: Pic #10 (front compartment) which car please?

Keith,
It's the front of the MKIV bodied G-7A ? chassis in pic. 6
Prepared by Holman Moody on the day.
It got me interested as we are using the same wiper mechanism.

Yes a MKIV (or a 'J') was the only real alternative...

Thanks... :thumbsup:

(PS thread drift. EBay supplier out of caps :( no biggie just a delay)

James,
Great shots but can you answer a conundrum for me?
Claude's car - 22 - driven by Bernard did not seem to compete. Any reason?
Also spotted number 12 car looking like Claude's other car, was it?
Cheers

Outstanding!

Do you know, I think that is the only time I have heard (seen) a video with the 2 versions running side by side for aural comparison..

Love those 'nasty' 427's.. :)

Paul,
Both of Claude's cars were in the Le Mans pits.
I did not get a shot of 1016 as I was talking to Jay Cushman at the time who was methodically photographing everything - I'm surprised he did not take fingerprints as well :lol:
Man he knows his stuff.
1016 was out there.
 
The Mk IV is J9 the black no 12 is Tennant 1127 and the gold no 12 is 1078

Still going through photos but I think there were about 35 cars

1016

According to the entry list for The Whitsun Trophy and the static display that did demonstration laps, I made it 40 Mark1's, 2's and J car, plus 2 Mk 3's.
Has there every been more in one place before ?
What was at Watkins Glen back in the day ?
Photos to follow from thursday onwards.
 
I'm at 41 total so far

Possibly also more than at Road America in 1994 too - can't find figures for either

I knew 1016 was there but not sure about Claude's other car but my main point was why neither were in contention? Bernard Thunner normally is up at the front of any field and I could not understand why he was not on Saturday. Were they running in an engine/transmission???? :huh::huh:

Probably hung right back because of the way that Kenny Brack qualified on that wet track....

I would have... :worried:

I spoke to Claude, and he said that he had tyre problems with P1016. Tires being too small for the "heavy" 1016.
I don't know the regulations about tire sizes at Goodwood.
P1078 didn't take part in the Whitsun trophy because the car is from 1968. (That's what Claude told me). What I read in the program, the race was for cars up to 1966.
