Goodwood Festival of Speed Part Four

The Museo Storico Alfa Romeo was showing its 1975 Tipo 33 TT 12 which won seven of eight WSC races in 1975 and took the title.

The ever-young Arturo Merzario, now 73, was at the wheel of the Tipo 33 TT 12.

The Ferrari 275 GTB/C won its class in the 1967 Le Mans 24 Hours. This is Sir Paul Vestey’s car, wearing the colors of Maranello Concessionaires.

The new one-off Ferrari 458 MM Speciale made its first public appearance in Goodwood.

1952 Ferrari 375 in Indianapolis livery coming from the Louwman Museum in the Netherlands.

Among the modern F1 teams, Ferrari demonstrated its F10 driven by Alonso and Massa in 2010 and here by Spanish Marc Gene.

Another epoch with the recreation of the 1905 Isotta Fraschini Fiat which was a record-chasing car with two 4-cyl engines in line.

Between 1953 and 1954, the Lancia D24 barchetta won three major events, the Carrera Panamericana with Fangio, the Mille Miglia with Ascari and the Targa Florio with Taruffi.

The Fiat 124 Abarth car was a successful rally car in the early 70’s and won three WRC events, in 1973, 1974 and 1975. This one was driven in period by Maurizio Verini.

Another successful rally car was the Lancia Stratos which won the WRC in 1974, ’75 and ’76.

But the Stratos was also in its element on the rallycross scene. This one, driven in period and here by Austrian Franz Wurz, father of Le Mans winner and ex-F1 driver Alex Wurz, won the European Rallycross Championship in 1976.

Lancia continued its success story in rallying with the Group B Delta S4, driven by Finn Henri Toivonen until its fatal crash at the Corsica rally 30 years ago.

The Lancia Beta Montecarlo was built for the 2-litre Group 5 category. It won the World Championship three times, from 1979 to 1981.

It looks like a Lancia Delta but it’s a spaceframe chassis with a 900bhp Toyota Supra engine. The goal was to be the fastest car up the Hill at Goodwood.

This honor went for the 2nd successive year to Olly Clark’s 780bhp Subaru Impreza.

In the Cartier Style & Luxe Concours d’elegance, Lancia had its own class in which we found this 1933 Lancia Astura Pinin Farina cabriolet ‘Bocca’, one of five units built for Lancia dealer Ernesto Bocca.

A 1954 Lancia Aurelia B12 berlina.

This 1959 Lancia Flaminia 2500 Sport Zagato is one of the 30 pre-series examples.

Sir Stirling Moss, now 86, is still at the wheel, here with a Mercedes 300 SLS.

Another star was ex-Pink Floyd drummer Nick Mason. The double rear wheels of its Auto-Union Type C were not useless in these wet conditions.

John Surtees, 82, is also a Goodwood regular. He is seen here with the Lola-Chevrolet T70 with which he won the Can-Am title in 1966.

The Porsche 917 P/A was the first Porsche Can-Am car in 1969. Driven in period by Jo Siffert, it was Brian Redman who took the wheel here.

At Le Mans one week before, this # 2 Porsche 919 hybrid led the only lap that counts, the last one ! And as at Le Mans, the conditions were sometimes treacherous at Goodwood.

At Le Mans this year, Toyota broke on the last lap. Therefore, Mazda remains the sole Japanese manufacturer to have won the Sarthe classic. It was with this car 25 years ago.

50 years after the first win of the GT40 at Le Mans, Ford was back this year and won again, even if it was not overall but in the GTE-Pro category.

Honda is back in F1 since 2015. This Honda-powered Lola-chassis RA300 recalls the glorious past of the Japanese manufacturer, when John Surtees won at Monza in 1967.

Goodbye, Goodwood. See you next year!
