The Lavant Cup pre-1954 sportscars at this year’s Revival took to a sodden Goodwood Motor Circuit on the Saturday, only to absolutely shine in what were less than ideal conditions. These are basic BMW and Bristol-engined rear-drive machines with a usable power-to-grip ratio (even in the wet) and very little weight to wrestle with.

It all makes for some excellent motor racing as the cars balance inspires confidence to really push through the drizzle and test the limits in a bid for victory. The result, as we can see in the full race video above, is some spectacular on-limit driving, a few sideways moments and a reminder that Goodwood is where to come to see these old racing machines back where they belong – no matter the conditions.
