Goodwood 2019 (1)

New Pic of the Day

Taken at the Goodwood Revival meeting last year, one of a large set as I was there all three days. These are 500cc racers and came in variety of designs of which this was the most odd. To me the driver looks to be incredibly vulnerable in case of a mishap (it does happen, I saw three but not with these cars).

Great shot, although that driver doesn't stand much of a chance in a collision or roll.

Excellent shot Ian. Lots of motion blur in the background and wheels.

That was in the days when you could cobble something up in your shed on Friday and then race it on Saturday.

Thanks for the comments all.

That looks so odd Ian, to my eyes it seems to be back to front!
It is a great image for all of the reason Colin has mentioned, well taken.

That’s exactly what others have said!

Nicely captured and as you said, how vulnerable they look, especially when you look at todays F1 cars

Great photo.

I think the driver is sitting the wrong way round!
