Historics: Goodwood 73rd Members' Meeting -- Day 2 results, 1970s F1 demo, C Type Demo, more
The Goodwood Estate in West Sussex, England put on its 73rd Members' Meeting over the weekend, March 21 and 22, 2015.
This historic motor racing meeting is somewhat like the famous Goodwood Revival with a couple of notable differences -- there is no period dress required and much fewer "extra" activities going on -- people are there primarily for the racing. The other difference is that the period the cars can come from -- 1948 - 1966 is opened up, both for cars before 1948 and for after 1966!
Here's my article about the results for Day 2 of the 73rd Members' Meeting at Goodwood.

The Goodwood Estate in West Sussex, England has announced that it will feature at its 73rd Members' Meeting in 2015 "High Airbox" historic Formula 1 cars that date from 1971 to 1976.
According to Goodwood, the 73rd Members' Meeting, scheduled for March 21-22, will bring more than 25 high airbox Formula 1 race cars dating from 1971 to 1976 to the renowned Goodwood circuit.
Among these will be, according to Goodwood's site: "...two ex-Niki Lauda Ferrari 312Ts and a 312B3, two Lotus 72s and a 76, a pair of Marches, McLarens, Tyrrells, a Shadow DN1 and some rarer machinery like the only Amon AF101 in existence, a Trojan T103-1 and such a thing as a (the?) Token RJ02."
Seeing these 70s-era cars at Goodwood will provide a very different experience for those in attendance than visitors to the Goodwood Revival have the chance to see. At the Goodwood Revival, cars on display and in action must be from the period of 1948 to 1966.
