Familiar faces, new faces, young faces, and certainly some old faces. With this years Goodwood Festival of Speed (July 14-18) not just celebrating 75 years of Motor Racing at Goodwood but also the 60th anniversary of McLaren, 75 years of Porsche and the 100th anniversary of Le Mans. The bike guys from Moto GP were there and certainly plenty of well known and some not so well known (to me) faces to spot during what, unfortunately due to the weather, became a somewhat truncated and shortened weekend. Due to an inability to be at two places at once the following are those stars I managed to catch, for the ones I missed, sorry! We remind you that if you are in need of more information about any of the drivers below, highlight the name, go to Google, paste.

As is our custom with the Goodwood Festival of Speed, (this year held on July 6-7) we hung out in the paddock and photographed drivers as well as cars. There are few events where the young rising stars get to mingle with the older drivers and the atmosphere is always friendly.

It is probably my age but thank heavens the younger drivers have their names on the waist bands of the race suits as I would be struggling, like many other photographers of my age, to know who they are. [Read more…] about Goodwood Driver’s Gallery

James Martin is a famous British TV celebrity chef and a big petrol head. He is about to driver Jaguar D type XKD605 reg number 393RW, winner of the 1956 Reims 12 hour race.

Having managed to miss last year’s Goodwood Festival of Speed due to illness, I was very keen not to miss this year’s event no matter what the weather. The prediction of rain proved to be very accurate especially on Thursday when during the afternoon the heavens opened and what was already a muddy site became in places a quagmire. Still this is England and rain will not stop play. [Read more…] about Goodwood Festival of Speed Part One

The 1976 European F2 championship was certainly one of the most exciting. The season was rich in emotions and duels on the track that led to the championship being awarded only after the last race. It was one of the most competitive years of those between 1967 and 1984, when the F2 championship was replaced by Formula 3000 due to the decrease of the participants in the F2 series.
