With hillclimb records being broken by diminutive machines, highly anticipated model launches and the aural sounds of fire-breathing race cars of yesteryear dominating the displays and entertainment for the weekend at the Goodwood Estate, it is easy to understand why this is the premier event of its kind. There are however a few standout occasions from the four days of action that resonate with us.

The first of which is the rapid and record breaking McMurtry Speirling which managed to set the fastest time ever up the Goodwood hill, dethroning the Volkswagen ID. R driven by Romain Dumas in 2019. Watch the whole timed shootout here.

While we don’t normally cover two-wheeled content, we couldn’t help but have a soft spot for paraplegic and former World Champion Wayne Rainey after his emotional return to a motorcycle alongside former archrival Kenny Roberts.

A personal favourite for fans of Ferrari at the 2022 Goodwood Festival of Speed was seeing Nigel Mansell returning to his V12 Ferrari 639 of the 1989 season and taking the screamer all the way up the hill multiple times over the event. The British Formula 1 driver still seems to have his knack as well as his iconic moustache providing adoring entertainment for crowds over the weekend. In addition to his endeavours in his red race suit, he was also reunited with his F1 title winning Williams FW14B in which he won the 1992 World Championship.

Topical tips on buying used – Chapter 1

Image
Buying a used car can be harrowing, whether privately or from a dealer. Here are some tips, as well as some things to watch out for. Beware of low mileages, especially on smaller or cheaper cars. It is always possible that the odometer has been turned back. Some things to bear in mind are:- diesels are often bought because they the driver needs to undertake long trips without consuming vast amounts of fuel. This could be a sales rep, or someone travelling large distances to work, lots of lengthy trip for family holidays, etc. So, usually higher mileages than normal. An expensive or luxury car may not see much time on the road, but very seldom a “workhorse”. This makes the executive cars likely to have a lot more life left than the overworked and abused hatchback. These also spend most of their life in a home garage or undercover parking lot at work.

Image
Lancia recently teased a coupe-looking model, waiting to be unveiled in their Multiverse. Could this then, signify the return of a historic moniker like the Stratos to the struggling automaker? Image: Lancia #MakeLanciaGreatAgain – a social media phrase that has been making the rounds for the better part of a decade.
