Goodwood 2015: a personal album
- Freshly-ironed Dunlop blues for SJYS on this special occasion: 50 years since the last Goodwood F1 race
- Lord and Lady Chandhok
- Richard Attwood – 50 years on from that shunt in the Belgian GP: “I was driving the Parnell Lotus-BRM. Lost it on the Masta Straight in the torrential rain. Had the brakes on, while I was spinning, for about 600 yards. Eventually ended up wrapped around a tree. Luckily a spectator or marshal dragged me free. A few burns but nothing too serious…”
- The boys are back in town
- Indy 1961 Ford Thunderbird Pace Car
- Original interior of the Thunderbird. Lots of room for her to sidle up next to you…
- Karun Chandhok to Brian Redman: “So what sort of speed were you doing with the 917s at Spa?” Brian to Karun: “Just on 214mph going into the Masta Kink.” Karun: “Say again?”
- Strange relics were discovered beneath the surface…
- A study in Pantones: Team Lotus (18) green…
- …BRP (BRM) lime green…
- …Scarab metallic blue…
- …and BRM Flame Orange against Polychromatic green
- Good to see Bob Dance (80) hard at work rebuilding the gearbox of a Lotus 25
- …while Chris Rea ponders the broken gearbox on his lovely Lotus 6. Even Michael Buble recently turned down a cover of “Driving Home for Christmas”, admitting he couldn’t add to CR’s original
- No, this isn’t a telephone exchange. It’s DeLonghi’s way of shortening the queue for lattes at their ’60s cafe bar
- So THAT’S what it was like back then…
- Sir Douglas Bader was in his element…
- …because it’s fifty years since the mini-skirt! Jean Shrimpton! Mary Quant! David Bailey! Jim Clark!
- Lt Jardine in the War Room (nee Media Centre)
- A desert livery looked right at home on the green soil of England…
- …while, regardless of age, nice red sports cars always look as delicious as ice cream
- Thanks…
Thanks Peter, Great shots, lots of memories there, especially Those dark green BRM,s at the Tasman meetings. Regards, David Clement. (will be in touch about that AARC stuff when I have some news) Date: Sun, 13 Sep 2015 07:47:26 +0000 To: dlk.clement@hotmail.com
XLNT day @ Goodwood on Saturday. I was based in press tent but wandered about all the inside track activities. Shot some interesting images from the press area near the Salvadori hospitality centre overlooking the chicane. Watch a bike race after the ERAs’ event. Shame that XH 558 had to make a run for home.
Wonderful pictures and comments. Thanks for posting.

I really like the BRP BRM. Too little been written about a great British F1 team that was just “went awayed” by the big teams of the era. Thanks.
