The great Goodwood Goodie Guide – What to buy in March

Duke 2016 season review DVDs – www.dukevideo.com

• Formula 1 – £14.99

Relive the intense battle between McLaren adversaries Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg for motorsport’s top prize. It’s a whopping five hours’ worth of race action, interviews, onboard footage, stats and facts that’ll blow away those off-season blues.

• Le Mans 24 Hours – £14.99

The 2016 edition of the world’s toughest endurance race will always be remembered for the heartache that befell the leading Toyota in the dying minutes. Beneath that anguish, though, were numerous subplots in the LMP1, LMP2, GTE Pro and GTE Am classes – and they’re all here in this four-hour look-back.

• British Touring Car Championship – £16.99

All the best door-banging and bumper-bending antics of Britain’s biggest series, the BTCC, have been captured in this official two-disc epic that lasts almost eight hours. It’s Honda v BMW v Ford v Subaru v Mercedes v Volkswagen in a 30-race scrap that once again went down to the wire.

• World Rally Championship – £16.99

Another two-disc marathon, this time reliving the drama of rallying’s top drawer, the WRC, in seven-and-a-half hours of HD action. Sébastien Ogier made it four titles in a row but with his VW team-mates Jari-Matti Latvala and Andreas Mikkelsen, Hyundai pair Thierry Neuville and Hayden Paddon, and Citroen’s Kris Meeke winning rallies, it was a hotly contested season.

Hesketh Racing T-Shirt – £24.95 – www.retrogp.com

The self-styled ‘biggest little race team in the world’ has had a cult following since its first car appeared in F1 in 1974. That it took an unlikely victory – at Zandvoort in 1975 courtesy of public-school playboy James Hunt – only adds to the allure. Unsurprisingly, the merchandise, including this 100 per cent cotton T in S-XXL, is very popular.

Steve McQueen Le Mans Graphic Novel – £28 – www.mcqueenlemans.com

A stunningly illustrated tribute to the King of Cool and his 1971 movie by Sandro Garbo and his skilled team that’s been three years in the making. It tells the story of McQueen’s character, Gulf Porsche 917 hero ‘Michael Delaney’, and his on-track battles with his Ferrari 512 nemeses as well as the simmering off-track chemistry with the widow of a former rival.

Ebbro 1:20 Lotus Plastic Kits – £54.99 – www.hobbyco.net

Two highly detailed kits of the twin-chassis Lotus F1 car that never raced have joined Ebbro’s 1:20-scale collection. The 1981 88, banned after protests over its innovative ‘moveable chassis’ concept, comes in Essex Petroleum livery, while the 88B, which actually made it through scrutineering for the ’81 British GP only to be thrown out later on, wears the Courage colours. With incredible attention to detail, both really are ‘plastic fantastic’.

Tamiya R/C Porsche 934 – £199.99 (kit only) – www.hobbyco.net

To help celebrate the 40^th anniversary of Porsche’s 934, which first appeared in Vaillant livery, legendary scale-model guru Tamiya has re-released what was its very first radio-controlled racer. Resplendent in Jägermeister orange, another winning colour scheme, it comes as just the kit, so you’ll need to acquire a rechargeable battery and speed controller before you tear up the Tarmac.

Formula 1: Car by Car, 1960-1969 – £50 – www.evropublishing.com 

The first in what will be an exhaustive decade-by-decade series examining every single car that raced in the Formula 1 World Championship since 1950, this 300-page, 630-photo masterpiece from the statistical and analytical mind of Peter Higham covers the 1960s, with narrative, facts and figures – and plenty of little-admired pics – to complement a decade of immense change in the sport.
