Hi Graham,
Yes, the Whitmore Cup at this year's Goodwood Members Meeting was for Under 2000cc cars that racsed between 1960 and 1966
It featured Mini Cooper S, Ford Lotus Cortina, Alfa Romeo Guilia Sprint GTA, Ford Anglia 105E and BMW 1800 TiSA models.
I was at the Members Meeting all weekend and it was excellent. Even the weather played ball!
At the Goodwood Revival the Saloon cars race for the St. Mary's Trophy. This was the main Saloon car race at Goodwood back in the circuits original 1948 to 1966 heyday.
This alternates each year between Pre 1959, and 1960 to 1966.
The variety of cars competing in the Pre 1959 is extremely good. If you have something different, that raced in period, you have a slightly better chance of an invite.
The 1960 to 1966 grid is less varied. Many Mini Coopers and Lotus Cortinas. Some interesting American models, but Ford Mustang and Falcon Sprints now don't get to compete as they are too developed. They get their own event, such as the Shelby Cup on occasion. Ford Galaxies do still get to race in the St Mary's Trophy, and look incredible side by side with a Mini Cooper
Plenty of resin bodyshell options for small Pre 1966 saloons out there as well.
Scalextric have done the Mini Cooper, Ford Anglia, Lotus Cortina but not the Alfa or BMW 1800 TiSA.
They also did a good VW Beetle, including the Drew Pritchard version which he raced, very competitively at the Revival.
I have all the Goodwood Revival, and Members Meeting programmes if you want to check and see what else has been raced over the years.
