Saturday morning at the 2022 Goodwood Revival

Walking amongst the world’s greatest collection of historic racing machinery, a dawn chorus of three Spitfires with their Rolls-Royce Merlin engines spluttering into life serenaded our team. And as mechanics, owners and drivers alike began making early morning preparations to cars and bikes, a sense of occasion was brewing alongside the steaming teapots. 

With some cars still under their covers, and others offering a tantalising glimpse of perfectly restored paintwork or untouched patina, the walkaround has an art gallery beauty to it. But don’t be fooled. In a couple of hours, all of these rare, magical and mercurial machines will come alive. Testing their mettle on track, as they were always designed to do.
