The 25-minute sprint sees all manner of late 1950s and early ’60s sportscars fighting wheel to wheel, and the racing is always close. The entry list for 2023’s Sussex Trophy features no fewer than nine Lotus 15s and a range of Lister-Jaguars in Knobbly, Flat Iron and Costin forms. There’s also the Maserati Birdcage with its wonderfully intricate tubular chassis and Cooper Type 49 Monacos. And there many more cars besides, meaning that every spectator will find a car to get behind.
The race itself was an entertaining affair, with plenty of on track battles, particularly when it came to the fight for the lead. We had a brave move around the outside of St. Mary’s by Oliver Bryant in his Lotus 15, and an equally audacious but altogether less successful lunge into Woodcote by Julian Mazjub in his Sadler Mk2.
There is one downside to the Sussex Trophy, however, it more often signals that we are coming to the end of the Goodwood Revival. It’s a sad realisation, but when the racing is this good, we can overlook it.
