As someone, who's bedroom posters included the 1979 Lloyds and Scottish Historic Championship, and having been to all bar two Goodwood Revivals; my own view is the racing was amongst some of the best I've witnessed from "behind the fence", for many years.
Tom Kristensen's mastery of a Ferrari 250 SWB, Rob Huff's pace in the Lotus 19 Oldsmobile and Tiff Needell "slithering" a Lotus 30, were my highlights.
There were more US visitors on track - Chris McAllister, Erickson Shirley,James King, Joe Colasacco...
..less damaged "metal", and overall..a better standard of driving, and I too am unconvinced about Shedden v van der Garde.
The Maserati discussed previously was built by Hall & Hall for Barrie Baxter, and wasn't the same car (owned by Laurence Auriana) which Derek Hill "crunched" at a previous Revival.
Overall, totally agree with a previous "post" about some great racing...
