In the spirit of the Goodwood Nine Hour races that were held between 1952 and 1955, the Freddie March Memorial trophy grid is striking. Comprising Aston Martin DB3 Coupés, Austin Healeys and a gaggle of Jaguar D-Types, among others, the race is one of the most aesthetically pleasing of the Revival. And set at dusk, and the final race of the weekend, this year’s edition was no disappointment.
The 25-minute race kicked off at 6pm on Sunday and it wasn’t long before the racing got heated. Take this clip of James Cottingham and Richard Wilson, and their battle to get ahead. In the yellow 1957 Ferrari 500 TRC, Cottingham leads as the cameras catch him. Close behind is Wilson in the red 1957 Maserati 250S. Despite fervent efforts by Wilson to pass the Ferrari, Cottingham clings to the inside line, defending through the chicane... Another example of the incredible racing we were treated to this weekend.
