over 115,000 fans all dressed in
1948 - 1966 period costumes, the
Goodwood Revival really is the most
special event on the world motorsport calendar.
Those lucky enough to attend this year were
treated to titanic battles between racing greats from
the car and bike world. Races run on the circuit
owned by Lord March, a circuit that was once
Britains leading racetrack.
Lord March hosts the event on his property, not
far from his mansion, and is extremely strict about
the period vehicles.
The weekend is a complete experience. By the
end of a day, you'd swear you had gone back
in time. In fact no modern vehicles can be seen
- vintage cars and busses are used to transport
people from the carpark outside of the track
perimeters as no modern vehicles are allowed in!
WG rode his favourite G50 (owned and tuned
by Fred Walmsley) to victory once again, this time
against hard chargers Jeremy McWilliams and
Michael Rutter (Manx Nortons) and Trevor Nation
(Norton Domiracer). Gardner got a slow start on
Sunday's final race after winning on Saturday, but
charged through the field to take victory and set a
new lap record and fastest average lap of 150km/h
in the process. WG's closest rival Duncan Fichet
finished a close second.
"My bad start was thanks to a big hangover,"
laughed Gardner, "But it a tough race I can tell
you. It's a great fun weekend and I really want to
thank Lord March, Fred Wolmsley and everyone
involved in getting me here. It is by far my favourite
annual event and my whole family come with me.
The kids just love it!" over 115,000 fans all dressed
