How many hay bales are used at FOS?
For the last two years, 5,800 bales have been recylced into the biomass energy centre to be used for energy generation
Things started with the beach buggy parade that celebrated 60 years of the Meyers Manx. The drivers brought their own spirit of California to compensate for the leaden skies and wet track. And that set the tone for the day, the only variation being how wet the track was.
The first practice session was for the Barry Sheene Memorial Trophy, in which Davey Todd claimed pole on the solid chassis BMW R63 Kompressor, one of the oldest machines on the grid. Drivers in the Glover Trophy practice were using their fingertips and the tips of their toes to encourage their single-seaters around the soaking circuit.
In the first of two practice sessions for the St. Mary’s Trophy presented by Motul saloon car race, the conditions favoured the Mini of Alex Buncombe who set the fastest lap. Later in the day, there was a challenge for the Whitsun Trophy presented by Sky, and Adrian Newey fell foul of the low grip. It was a similar story in the practice for the RAC TT Celebration which was called to halt after just five laps, Duncan Pittaway being the unfortunate driver whose session ended in the tyre wall.
For the Stirling Moss Memorial Trophy, it wasn’t the front-runners that grabbed all the attention. All eyes were on 29th placed Richard Woolmer thanks to the balletic control of his Austin-Healey 3000. He was sideways everywhere is the rally-style two-seater.
After a programme filled mainly with practice sessions, the first race of the Revival 2024 weekend took place at the end of the day when the Sussex Trophy cars competed into the dusk. With a drying track, the mixed up qualifying times set in the wet made for much exchanging of places.
And with that, day one of the 2024 Goodwood Revival was done.
