What
a weekend. It has been an unqualified success yet again, as a sell-out
crowd enjoyed a brilliant weekend of epic motor racing, unique
high-speed demos and a whole range of great off-track activities to make
everyone smile.
You
could pick from any one of the 12 races to find unbeatable historic
motor racing drama, while the high-speed demonstrations featured a
seemingly endless stream of incredible racing cars. It felt like a
potted history of the sport at times, with high-airbox Formula 1 cars,
McLaren GTRs and even a modern Mercedes AMG grand prix car making an
appearance for the IWC Track Moment. And rumour has it that some tears
were shed as Freddie Hunt drove his father's iconic Hesketh around the
Motor Circuit. Read about all of it below.
We
have gathered some of the best galleries, videos and features below for
your viewing pleasure, but you can find plenty more on the Goodwood Road & Racing website. We are still adding more excellent pictures, videos and comments to the 73MM Live Social Stream,
so make sure you keep checking in to see the unique moments captured by
other visitors both on and off the track. And finally, we are also
running a competition to win 74MM tickets, so you could be there next
year: all you need to do is Tweet us your highlight of 73MM using the
hashtag #TicketMe - click the button below to do just that.

were highlights and disappointments for our very own Chris Harris: his

A new summer European Rally for crews of all ages, be they expert rallyists or complete novices, the Paris-Vienna Rally 2016
will incorporate daily regularity sections and a special test at
private venues as we follow closely the original race route. As on
previous Paris-Madrid Rallies, period-dressed participants will compete
for the prestigious Charles Jarrott Trophy, named in
honour of Britain's first motor racing hero. A separate category will
cater for post-war cars of a type produced before 1969, whilst crews who
do not wish to compete may simply enjoy the drive in a Touring
category.
