Celebration of historic racing legends at 80th Goodwood Members Meeting
As Goodwood celebrates 75 years of motorsport, the Members Meeting delivered us a showcase of some the best historic motorsports on the planet, plus a delightful selection of classic and interesting vehicles to admire.
Wet Practice for 80th Members Meeting
With the 80th Members Meeting round the corner, it’s the last chance for the teams to get some miles on the Goodwood circuit, putting their cars and bikes through their paces on the Goodwood Motor Circuit ahead of the event itself. Previous years these test days have been open to the public, but this year exclusive access was only offered to the GRRC community.
Winter Stages Rally Fires Up the New Year
Only three weeks into the new year, my motorsports season kicks off with the MGJ Engineering Winter Stages Rally at my local track, Brands Hatch. Last year was wet and cold, as you would expect for January in the UK, but this year, Kent’s premier race circuit was bathed in glorious winter sun. It was still pretty chilly, and I was glad of my thermals.
A Weekend of Grill-n-Chill, From a Different Perspective
Like many other events this year, Grill-n-Chill made a comeback after a two-year hiatus, and it did not disappoint. The weekend was blessed with beautiful weather, and the fields were filled with cheerful attendees and a diverse array of cars.
Volkswagen Veteranen Hessisch Oldendorf
The Hessisch Oldendorf International Vintage Volkswagen Show is a highly anticipated event that takes place once every four years and is considered a pilgrimage for many Volkswagen enthusiasts. Due to world events, I had to wait an extra year for this edition.
Plaid shirts, Denim and Beards gather for the Bike Shed Show 2022
This year saw another superbly curated and inspiring collection of over 300 custom motorcycles from across the globe. Everything from modern classics to vintage-based machines created a visual delight within the equally interesting venue of Tobacco Dock. While the bikes take centre stage the Bike Shed Show celebrates the breadth of custom motorcycle culture and after a three-year wait there was plenty to catch up on.
Flag, Throttle, Action in Margate for the Malle London Beach Race
It’s hard to believe we’re into the third year of the Malle Beach Race, but we are, and it still feels fresh. This year saw over 200 riders participating in a series of races on inappropriate two- and three-wheeled motorcycles. Everything from custom, classic and vintage rides to stock and race bikes. The one thing in common was the desire to have fun on the beach.
Back on Track for Goodwoods’ 79th Members Meeting
As Goodwoods’ 79th Members’ Meeting returned to its more traditional time of year, celebrating the start of the West Sussex estates’ motorsport calendar for 2022. We were gifted a riot of sunshine and classic motorsport, recreating the atmosphere of the original BARC race meetings held at Goodwood through the 1950s and 1960s. This event is always a thrilling weekend of epic motor racing, high-speed track demonstrations and fun-packed festivities.
Detonators Breakfast, February 2022
It’s the last Sunday of the month, that means it’s time for another Detonators breakfast meet. With the sun shining and an Indian Scout Bobber 20 to ride, could there be a better way to spend a Sunday morning?
