Goodwood's Members Meeting was a cause for celebration, says StvCr
On one hand, the giant in-line six belched and blew back like a draught horse until warm and you needed a blacksmith’s forearms to turn the steering wheel. It wasn’t possible to effect a smooth gearchange until the oil was well and truly warm.
On the other hand, the 8 Litre’s level of luxury and style effortlessly equalled that of top cars today, and the visibility was a lot better. Most striking of all was the engine’s amazing mechanical refinement and its mighty torque from 1000rpm. In some ways, vintage cars aren’t old at all.
The whole experience always makes you wonder how modern, non-classic, non-vintage racing can ever match this spectacle, where the car-control challenges are almost as clear to a watcher 100 yards away as they are to the driver. If people want Goodwood crowds at modern racetracks, surely that’s an avenue worth exploring…Half my income seems to go on club magazines, so I’m well used to pitching barely flicked-through club organs into the recycling bin.
