Agree. Sadly, Goodwood has degenerated in driving behaviour over the years, as it appears that too many people attach too much prestige to winning. We have seen some very expensive cars badly damaged, as some of these drivers have too little respect for the cars or mobile history, and some of the rich owners are no better for recruiting these hard chargers.

As we keep saying over here, the stars are the cars and over-driving is just not tolerated. If there is a sizeable speed difference, then for goodness sake, run handicap races, then it doesn't matter who wins and encourages drivers to seek out cars that are interesting.

I'm not sure that saloon car racing in the UK benefitted from the introduction of the Ford Galaxies, and I sincerely hope that potential entrants here, can see that seeking out a load of cars car with massive 427cu ins engines is going to kill off the series before it has even started.

I'd rather be looking at a Morris Minor, Standard 10 or an Austin A35, something fairly common, fairly cheap, not too quick but easy to maintain in standard trim - but I wouldn't care too much for racing amongst a field of small aircraft carriers!
