This year’s Brooklands Trophy was dedicated to Bentley, in honor of the marque’s 100th anniversary. In order to recreate a familiar sight from pre-war motorsport, all of the cars started the race with their hoods up, then came into the pits to lower them after a set number of laps, a spectacle not seen since before the war.

The race was finally won by a 4 ½-Liter “Blower” of 1929, but this 1927 4 ½-Litre came to second place, setting the fastest lap of the race at an average speed of 75.40 mph.

Young people and old airplanes …

Old bikes and former champions … Recently retired 31-time MotoGP race-winner Dani Pedrosa was making his Goodwood debut, sharing this 1966 Hannah-Paton 500 with countryman Joachim Folch-Rusinol Jr. They ended 12th and 5th overall of the two Barry Sheene Memorial Trophy races.

The Fordwater Trophy is a 25-minute race for sports and GT cars of a type that raced between 1960 and 1966. Among the Porsche 911s, MG Bs and Lotus Elites, a few Italian cars were entered but without success. The 1964 Alfa Romeo Giulia TZ of Joe Colasacco did not end the formation lap.

And the 1964 Abarth Simca 2000 GT of Federico Buratti withdrew after one lap. The victory in this group went to the Lotus Elan of Robert Barrie after a strong battle with Nick Swift’s Mini Marcos.

Introduced in 1952, the Goodwood Nine Hour race was held only three times (1952, ‘53, ’55) but it attracted the best drivers of the day. These races are recalled by the Freddie March Memorial Trophy. The win went to experienced historic car racer and multiple Goodwood winner Gary Pearson at the wheel of this 1955 Jaguar D-Type.

In the same race, the unique 1953 Aston Martin DB3 coupé, driven by Swiss driver Arlette Müller.

The Goodwood Motor Circuit opened just three years after the end of WWII, and the biggest event of its first season was the Goodwood Trophy in which the majority of the machines competing were built before the war. Those early cars made up the majority of the grid today, like the 1934 Alfa Romeo Tipo B of Texan driver Charles Nearburg.

The famous 1936 ERA B-type R5B ‘Remus’, driven in period by Prince Bira.

To stay with single-seaters, the Glover Trophy was reserved for 1.5-litre Grand Prix cars of a type that raced between 1961 and 1965. Again, Italian machines failed to shine as last year’s winner Joe Colasacco in the Lawrence Auriana Ferrari 1512, had to retire, leaving his arch rival Andy Middlehurst and his Lotus-Climax 25 without opposition.

Get on the bus, Gus…

The Sussex Trophy, which recreates the atmosphere of the World Championship races held at Goodwood, was more contested as this trio finished less than a second behind the winning Lotus-Climax 15 of Roger Wills, who is out of the picture. Second place went to Sam Hancock’s Ferrari 246S Dino, third to Jon Minshaw’s Lister-Jaguar ‘Knobbly’ and fourth to David Hart’s Lister-Jaguar ‘Costin’.

There were Listers for all tastes in this race with a Lister-Jaguar ‘Costin’ followed by a Lister-Chevrolet ‘Costin’ and a Lister-Chevrolet ‘Knobbly’.

In 1959, the Swiss Scuderia Cegga bought the remains of a crashed Ferrari 250 TR58 and built a new car around it, called the Cegga 002/60. Later rebuilt as a Ferrari 250 TR by collector Pierre Bardinon, the Cegga no longer existed. Historic racer David Cooke built a tool room copy of the car, using some original parts and a Ferrari 250 engine. It was just finished in time to make its debut in the Sussex Trophy.

But what is this charming person waiting for ?

For sure, the Kinrara Trophy attracted a lot of attention. Held on Friday night, it was the first race of the Revival, a one-hour, two-driver race into the night for GT cars of three liters and over of a type that raced up to 1963.

The Kinrara Trophy features beautiful GTs from the early sixties such as the Ferrari 250 GT SWB of which no less than eight examples were entered, among them # 3401 GT of Belgian crew Dumolin/Thibaut.

Plenty of activity in the pits as the crews are waiting for the driver change.

Lights on for this 1961 Austin-Healey 3000 as the Kinrara Trophy ends in the darkness.

The St Mary’s Trophy, for 1950-59 saloon cars, is also an anticipated race, as it never fails to deliver some of the most exciting action at the Revival. The race is split into two parts with the owners of the cars racing on Sunday and the professional racers the day before. That’s why you have here ex-F1 driver Karl Wendlinger leading Le Mans winners Emmanuele Pirro and Romain Dumas.

Karl Wendlinger’s Studebaker Silver Hawk crossed the line first, but it was later disqualified for technical reasons, so Emmanuele Pirro and his 1959 Alfa Romeo Giulietta TI were declared winners of race 1 of the St Mary’s Trophy.

Frenchman Romain Dumas, who set the record time of the Goodwood hill at the Festival of Speed last July, was on duty with this big 1959 Ford Thunderbird. He had to retire on lap 2, not without already having set the fastest lap of the race.

In contrast with Dumas, touring car specialist Steve Soper had a tiny Austin A30 Speedwell to play with.

A Le Mans winners gathering before the RAC TT Celebration race. With Mass, Pescarolo, Attwood, Kristensen, ACO chairman Pierre Fillon, Minassian, Pirro, Fässler, Tréluyer, Lotterer on the picture, we have here no less than 29 Le Mans overall wins!

With its mouthwatering entry list, it’s no surprise that the Royal Automobile Club TT Celebration race is considered the centerpiece of the on-track action at the Revival, with a one-hour, two-driver format. Here the 1963 Tojeiro-Ford shared by Frenchman Minassian and Dutchman and last year’s winner David Hart.

Although this 1964 TVR Griffith 400 has period Goodwood competition history – it contested the 1965 Whitsun Trophy – it is still incredibly fast. The Whitaker/Jordan crew finished 4th overall.

Seen here in practice, the Jaguar E-Type shared by Young and Pescarolo was further down the field, with a 16th position overall.

This other E-Type is just one of twelve Lightweights built by Jaguar and was campaigned throughout 1963 and 1964 by Peter Sutcliffe, with much success in Europe and in the South African Springbok Series. In its second life, ‘YVH 210’ won the RAC TT Celebration twice, in 2006 and 2007. Driven this year by Spiers/Needell, it ended 10th overall.

The 1966 Bizzarrini 5300 GT of Wendlinger/Blakeney-Edwards suffered some problems prior to the start and had to take it from the pits. It finally finished 18th.

The closing stages of the RAC TT saw a battle for the lead between these two AC Cobras. Here, Frenchman Romain Dumas leads Belgo-German André Lotterer, who finally went through to take the victory, shared with his team mate Chris Wilson.
