Goodwood Revival - Saturday

[pswillies]

A last minute decision saw me make my first visit to the Goodwood Revival on Saturday. I don't think it'll be my last visit either... it was probably the most enjoyable day of racing I've seen in ages.

The sun was a royal pain in the a**e, cutting the useable angles down for most of the day. I shouldn't complain about good weather though, we don't get it often!

Here's a few to give a flavour of the track action;

1. First race of the day, the Goodwood Trophy and a 1936 Parnell-MG

2. Same race, this time though it's the winner in his ERA

3. Tiny 500cc Formula 3 from the Earl of March Trophy

4. The Barry Sheene Memorial Trophy was a two-rider affair. This may be Jeremy McWilliams, but could equally be somebody I've never heard of!

5. Practice for the TT, with a nice Cobra down at Lavant.

Wonderful shots! The bike and #14 Ferrari especially capture my eye. I love the sense of speed with the bike, and the almost-matching foreground/background colours of the Ferrari. What a lovely car, as well. Thanks for sharing!

[Jamie Holladay]

Really nice work. I really like #3.

[Ingsy]

That last one is ace!

EDIT - the others aren't too shabby either :)

Paul,

A nice series of shots 1,5, & 6 my favs - Tiff Needell is an excellent driver

Was there any E Types racing if so could you upload the pics please ;)

I really do have to go to England for some Goodwood event some year. I have been to the vintage event at Laguna Seca a couple times. I am very jealous.

I love #7, the horizon line reflection really shows the lines well. great capture.

I think you may have done this once or twice ;) Your panning is perfect! Mind sharing your camera settings?

Thanks.

The exif should still be intact, but they vary from 1/320 on the Touring Car shot to 1/125 on the bike, all on shutter priority. All with a 300 f/4L on a 1D mkIII.

Superb shots.

I can only agree with you about the weather.

Never enough sun in this country.
