[Gallery] The best from Sunday at the 2019 Revival
Super Sunday is business day at Goodwood Revival, as all the testing, practice and qualifying work comes to fruition. Far from being a day of rest, Sunday is when the famously competitive classic racing slams into top gear as teams, mechanics, drivers and punters alike try to squeeze out the last of the Summer season.
Blessed with another cloudless sky, the scorching September sun shone down on a sell-out crowd as a stacked field raced to glory. From the charm of the Settrington Cup, to a dramatic Race 2 of the Barry Sheene Memorial Trophy which saw a late Safety Car add a frantic end to proceedings, the day catered for all tastes.
Following a morning of race action, lunch at the circuit was taken as the emotive D-Day commemoration took to the grid. The Duke of Richmond addressed a huge crowd gathered to pay their respects to those involved in the heroic landings which took place 75 years ago along the Normandy coast.
From brutish tanks and field guns to the life-affirming beauty of the world famous RAC TT Celebration, the afternoon was once again in full-swing back on the race track.
And, of course, we saw GT40s in the Whitsun Trophy, the fastest race of the entire weekend, and Maserati 300Ss and beautiful D-Type Jaguars in the Freddie March Memorial Trophy at the end of the day. Sunday provided a comprehensive display of the finest cars and racing of the entire weekend.
The worst part about Sunday is that it means all the magic must come to an end for another year! Roll on 2020.
