    Ray,
    Is that my old "Trojan" workmate Patrick Head driving the white Jaguar # 60 ?


    Plus thanks for all your wonderful photos and all the time you take to present them to us.
    Very much appreciated.

    Ken Hyndman.

    The Jaguar E2A was part of the Jack Brabham celebration and only the car, not the driver is listed. Glad you like the pics! It's good to be able to share them, not just the recent ones such as Goodwood, but the stuff from the substantial personal archives.

    Digital pics do make it so simple but the real time consumer is scanning slides in high definition. I can only manage a few per session - and I get bored quite quickly!

    For the 2 wheel enthusiasts:


    Much to the surprise of many, this 1930's Rudge was a race winner.

    None other than Troy Corser, who dropped this BMW in the rain on the Saturday, exiting the Chicane, where he hit the large puddle. This 500cc bike is owned by BMW and their factory mechanics were on hand to replace the damaged head overnight. Apparently, they were thrilled to bits with Troy's pace on this 1937 machine. The crowd were also impressed.

    Non car pics...

    The view looking out from the pedestrian footbridge into what was referred to earlier as outside the circuit, but where a current ticket was still required. Big screen just in view to the top left of pic 1.

    A keen crowd, even under the brollies. The day before Goodwood, I bought two Dunlop brollies for six pounds - $12NZD...

    The 60's attired grid girls with the hand permanently on the left hip. Always a brave smile even though the weather on Saturday, wasn't too good. This was taken a matter of seconds before the rain started - the cars have just set off on their formation lap.

    Big bangers - hugely popular... It's a shame that generally, you only get to see the cars twice over the three day weekend. Bad weather on just one race day or one mechanical issue can totally ruin a driver's weekend - and the spectators'. You cannot therefore see all cars running on any one day.

    Still a load more, though I don't think a full representation of the Austin A35s will be worth publishing! Glad you are enjoying them. Having downloaded a simple programme called 'Image Resizer', has made life so much easier as it can cope with resizing in bulk, as these posted images are all copies of the full sized image.

    Back to the big bangers.

    The Lotus 30 was never a success in its day, but all three running at Goodwood seemed to be going well.

    This is a car I hadn't come across before, the Hamill-Chevrolet SR3. As I rather like the unusual and the rare, two pics.

    One of the main reasons I generally pick the first day of a race meeting - even if that is practice, is that getting a pic may not be possible after practice, if the car fails - which it obviously did with this Bizzarrini. Once again, one of my favourite cars of the event and worth another pic. I knew of the Bizzarrini GT but once again, didn't realise they'd ever done an open version.

    Yes, a fascinating car. I've always been interested in '60s sports and GT cars featuring American V8 power and British, Italian or French chassis. I have a book somewhere on Iso and Bizzarrini.

    I believe this mid-engined spider was the only one of its kind. So it was sad to see it so badly damaged. How did the crash happen Ray? Was it car failure or over-driving?

    Not sure what happened Steve, as the accident happened on the far side of the circuit. It happened just moments after this pic was taken, during Friday practice and I tend not to listen to the commentaries anyway. Sorry JT...

    Love the Porsche and the De Tomaso, the latter almost has a touch of a late model Statesman about the rear of it, in my opinion at least.

    Completely agree with you Ray, about the unusual and rare, there are a few angles you look at the Hamill and think of where they have taken styling cues from, the rear almost looks Lotus like, but the Cooper Monacos are gorgeous as well!

    That is a Monteverdi - although similar to the De Thomaso. Probably the first I have seen.

    Totally agree about the Cooper Monaco and most cars of that era. Always a favourite of mine. The next group will be sports/sports racing cars 1952 - 1955. Who would have thought you'd get a full grid of 30 from a 3 year span of cars built over 60 years ago?

    Just about all action pics taken from just one spot on the track. Moving anti-clockwise around the track, once you get to Madgwick, with such huge crowds, even on Friday, moving on means not being able to see the track at all for a while, so you tend to stay put.

    After this group, it was the Formula Juniors (already published) when my battery died and to my horror, discovered I'd left the spare batteries in the car...

    I totally missed all Sussex Trophy cars, both in practice and racing as practice wasn't until 6pm and also the very last race on Sunday at 5:25pm, by which time I'd gone. If ever I do it again, I'd probably just do Friday and probably stay to the bitter end, regardless of potential traffic delays on exit.
