Cars

To give you an idea of what we’re talking about, within 15 minutes of entering the first of what felt like countless halls, we’d spotted one of the world’s most original Bentley 4½ Litres, an original Ford Fiesta Turbo that looked as though it was one petty crime away from an anti-social behaviour order, and a brand-spanking new Porsche GT2 RS (we didn’t dare ask to see how much over list price it was advertised at).

For pleasure seekers

Arguably one of the greatest drivers of his generation, Jochen Rindt was a force to be reckoned with in the 1960s and ’70s. In the fiercely competitive Formula 2 series, the German-born Austrian racing driver won 22 races, and he even claimed overall victory at Le Mans in 1965, sharing a NART-entered Ferrari 250LM with Masten Gregory. Driving for Lotus in Formula 1, Rindt won five races in 1970, before he was killed in a tragic accident at Monza — he was posthumously awarded the World Championship.

Could there have been a list of cars more unsuited to the frigid conditions at Goodwood last weekend than that of the snarling ‘special production’ racers assembled for the Group 5 high-speed demonstration, comprising Porsche 935s, Ferrari 512 BB LMs, and BMW 320s? Nevertheless, a bunch of hardy drivers swallowed their brave pills and took to the track in what was arguably the most memorable moment of the entire 76th Members’ Meeting.
