Goodwood Festival of Speed 2010
Three hot days, bunches of great cars, and drivers and mechanics to chat to. Standout car was the Porsche 550 Coupe built for the 1953 Le Mans and then run in La Carrera Panamericana – so it’s in my book. Jackie Oliver and Murray Smith drove it up the hill, and Scott George of the Collier Collection that restored it gave me chapter and verse.
Took the afternoon off on Saturday to go up to Penshurst to Conrad Birch’s ROARR classic car garden party to interview Rick Wakeman who is a top petrolhead and great bloke.
