How 1990s Formula 1 cars added to a feelgood vibe at the Goodwood Members' Meeting
s and illustrious Williams race-winners always draw a crowd. But here were cars we hadn’t seen since they were struggling to make it on to F1 grids three decades ago.
One was the Benetton B190 in which Nelson Piquet basked in an unexpected Indian Summer in 1990. John Reaks has owned his for 14 years and says it’s the actual chassis in which the great Brazilian won the Japanese and Australian GPs back to back. John Barnard was always snooty about this one. The architect of McLaren’s mid-1980s success and Nigel Mansell’s stunning Ferrari 640 joined Benetton in the autumn of 1989, too late to have much influence on Rory Byrne’s B190.“It had a nose like Alain Prost’s: big and broken,” he said of its signature hooked Roman snout. “I thought it was exceedingly ugly.” Still, it served Piquet well, and Reaks certainly loves it. “It had 680bhp in period, but we get 700bhp out of it today,” he said.
