11 highlights from GRR in November!

The 10 best Porsches of all time

This has already proved a controversial story, not just on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram but in the GRR office as well. What are the 10 best Porsches of all time? Our list might surprise you…

Full race list for 78^th Members’ Meeting confirmed

We couldn’t start with anything else. The full race list for the 78^th Members’ Meeting has been announced, including races like the all-V8 saloon Pierpoint Cup and an expanded three-race, 60-car Gerry Marshall Trophy. We’ve also confirmed an on track demo, celebrating the Lotus 72 and its rivals i.e. Formula 1 cars that raced from 1970-1975. We can’t wait.

Video: Let the master of Minis Nick Swift talk you through a swift lap of Goodwood

Speaking of Members’ Meeting, we had a chat with Nick Swift, the man who won the grand finale of the Betty Richmond Trophy at the 77^th Members’ Meeting, and asked him to sit down and talk us through a the final four laps of the Betty Richmond Trophy’s Heat 2. As you’ll see, Nick’s Mini is a lively little creature and his win hard-fought.

A tree‑mendous opportunity to be more sustainable at Goodwood

It’s impossible to ignore climate change, and so, here at Goodwood, we’re trying to find way to be greener and more sustainable – you might have noticed hundreds of new recycling points spread around this summer’s Festival of Speed presented by Mastercard, for example. Now we’re looking to offset our carbon footprint, planting 78,000 trees across the Goodwood Estate.

You can get involved by donating £1 when you purchase a 78^th Members’ Meeting, Festival of Speed or Revival ticket, helping us not just plant more trees, and in turn offsetting the carbon footprint of your travel to and from out events, but plant more hedgerows across the Goodwood Estate and continue the process of ‘rewilding’.

Review: Polestar 1

At last we’ve been able to get behind the wheel of the new Polestar 1, the first car to be launched by the now standalone Polestar brand. Is £139,000 too much money, and is 2,350kg too much weight?

Six WRC manufacturer pull-outs

The news that, after being part of the WRC on and off for the last 18 years, Citroën will finally pull the plug on a commitment to rallying that has brought nine drivers’ titles and eight manufacturers’ crowns, came as quite a shock. But Citroën is not the first to pull the plug when all seemed to be going well.

The Ford Mustang Mach‑E is a 460bhp all‑electric SUV

Ah, yes. This is an interesting one. Ford’s new electric SUV wears the Mustang badge. Granted, it’s a handsome looking machine with plenty of performance, but we’re still not quite sure what to make of it…

Video: The best sounding V8s at the 2019 Daytona Classic 24

If you wondered why GRR was a little busier than normal on the third weekend of November it was because we were in the good ol’ USA for the 2019 Daytona Classic 24. There are plenty of stories and videos to get your teeth into, but, as we’re talking about America, it would be rude not to share our video of the best sounding V8s.

The best racing car movies of all time

Grand Prix? The Fast and the Furious? Senna? Talladega Nights? What’s your favourite racing car movie? It’s too difficult to decide… We’ve chosen seven – what would you go for?

Video: Driving a restored Porsche 356 was a revelation

There are good days and then there are very good days. This was a very good day. When the team at Thornley Kelham called up, told us that they had a newly-restored, Super 90-powered, Porsche 356 in their workshop and asked if we’d like to drive it, it took precisely no time at all to shout yes.

Gallery: Welcome to Eighties Sunday!

Not just the final Breakfast Club of the year but the final Breakfast Club of the decade – where has the time gone? There were some very lovely machines and some very friendly owners at Eighties Sunday Breakfast Club. Here’s a gallery of some of the early risers.
