Matters of the Moment
Another Goodwood Members Meeting has now come and gone, and I‘ll stick my scrawny neck out and say, it was the best yet. The weather was kind (thank goodness) and the racing, in particular the Mustang-only Ken Miles Cup, was old-fashioned - let‘s get on with it, club-style motorsport. I loved every minute, even though I should have been somewhere else. Well done Mr. March and your gang of helpers. Ten out of ten!

Editor-in-Chief

Classic Car and Historic Motorsport from Retro-Speed Magazine Daily news and image galleries from the world of classic rallying, historic motor racing, hill climbs, car trials, classic car shows, and major classic car and automobilia auctions, written by and for those passionate about historic motor sport.

Classic Motorsport Retro-Fact Norman Dewis, on behalf of Jaguar Cars, established a new record on 20 October 1953, by driving a Jaguar XK120 over a ‘flying‘ measured mile at 172.412mph along the Jabbeke motorway in Belgium.
