The Goodwood Revival Post 2

Sharp: St Mary's Trophy race on Saturday. Frank Stippler's 1965 Alfa GTA 1600cc battled Tom Kristensen's 1963 7000cc Ford Galaxy 500 but eventually had to concede for second. The crowd were on their feet cheering from flag to flag.

Sharp: Seems like an unfair advantage to the Ford, but the Alfa does handle. And this was the way it was, back in the sixties.

Vanhoolandt: Still, the Alfa won overall. The St Mary’s Trophy is a two part race for 1960 to 1966 production saloon cars. In the 1st race, cars are driven by professional drivers and by ‘amateurs’ or owners in the 2nd race. The Alfa Romeo 1600 GTA won the combined classification.
