As usual this year's Revival was a cracking event, glorious weather and excellent, very competitive racing from the start.
Sadly not for our Chris though, here's the Cresta in the paddock

....and on only the second lap of qualifying his 'celeb' driver Rupert Keegan wrong slotted and buzzed the engine, resulting in a rod through the block. Weekend over.
So we don't finish on a low note, here's a few snaps of the event.

Initially cynics thought this would be a gimmicky bit of tokenism.....Goodwood gathered together a handful of vets from WW2 and drove them around the circuit in a couple of dozen Willys Jeeps....it wasn't....ten deep and for two and a half miles they rose to their feet and clapped, and you could see the pride on the old boys faces (many of whom had to be lifted into their Jeeps) A special moment.
