At Goodwood, we think one of the most special moments a motorsport fan can witness is when a hero driver is reunited with an iconic car from a distant bygone era. We try to make such reunions or special meetings happen as much as possible at our events.
Video: McLaren M9A and Derek Bell reunited at Silverstone
The McLaren M9A featured in the above video is one such spectacular and special machine. Featuring the hand-me-down “shovel” wing and a pioneering all-wheel-drive system, it completed precisely six laps in period in the only race in which it was entered: the 1969 British Grand Prix at Silverstone. The driver? One Goodwood great and all-round motorsport legend, Derek Bell. You can guess what comes next. M9A and Derek Bell reunite at Silverstone for one more lap.
