The hugely popular contest will once again form part of the Members’ Meeting race schedule at the traditional season-opening weekend, which next year takes place over the slightly later date of April 6/7.
Running at both the 74th and 75th Members’ Meetings, the S.F. Edge Trophy took a year out in 2018 but is back by popular demand for the 77th edition, following a brace of enthralling encounters in ’16 and ’17.
Both races can be remembered for the duels between Mathias Sielecki in his Delage DH V12 and Duncan Pittaway’s GN Curtiss, driven by Pittaway in 2016 and Patrick Blakeney-Edwards the following year. The two cars finished within a second of each other on each occasion, Pittaway taking the spoils by just two tenths of a second at the 74th Members’ Meeting with Sielecki reversing the score a year later, beating Blakeney-Edwards by 0.592 seconds.
While Pittaway may have not been in the battle for the win in the second running, he was still turning heads as he wrestled the mighty Fiat S76 around the 2.6 mile Goodwood circuit.
