Revival back with a bang as top cars and drivers battle it out

Goodwood never disappoints. While it sometimes attracts an unappealing ‘better back then’ attitude, skating over the elements of the past that were less than wonderful, the sights, sounds and stars of the Revival are invariably a highlight of the racing season.

After a year out, it was great to see the event back – and enthusiasts flocking to the West Sussex venue. As Marcus Pye shows in our bumper Goodwood report on page 18, it’s very diffi cult to pick a single highlight. My favourites were probably Phil Keen’s mighty drive in the Lotus 30 (above) and the battle of the 1950s sportscars in the Sussex Trophy, but there was plenty of tin-top and single-seater action, too.

It was a shame that the Revival clashed with the British Touring Car event at Croft, preventing more stars joining the sideways fun, but the BTCC also rarely lets you down. It was great to see Jake Hill, one of the rising stars of the series, finally taking his first win of the year, though it still looks as though Ash Sutton is going to take some catching in the championship contest (p30).
