That No.57 Cook/Gardiner Cortina looks really unusual, high at the rear. I wonder why, as no other preparer seems to have followed that path?

Something popped up as I loaded up the Youtube coverage from my Virgin Media this morning, and it was the Sky Sports logo which then disappeared when it became the Goodwood coverage. So, I wonder whether Goodwood have switched production companies and Marcus is not on their panel?

I've enjoyed the commentary. Alice Powell is knowledgeable and easy to listen to.

Yes it’s been ok on the whole. Agreed re Alice - I haven’t heard her commentate before (just as a pundit on Ch4 F1) but hopefully she’ll get more opportunities.

Hmmm.... I seem to have put the mockers on the Alta. Its lost a lot of time in the last couple of laps. What a great race though.
Both Burnett and Bradley doing I:41's in pre-war cars is quite impressive.

Shows in the entry list as entered and driven by M.Birch. The only car shown as entered by JR was the Alta. That of course does not necessarily answer the question

Burnett reports some issues with the rear dampers but they all look very happy. Enjoyable.

IMHO, that was a case yesterday and as has been said, he already had pole in the bag and in a one lap dash, that driving on coldish tyres was not really necessary.

I'm a little confused by some of the commentary and punditry. For example, yesterday the Bentley No. 7 Le Mans car was said by Tom Christiansen to actually be the second placed car (No 8) but today the commentators stating that it is the winning No.7.

Whilst I like seeing the GT1 cars being exercised, I would rather see them raced than demonstrated, and they have no Goodwood history obviously. Surely they could have filled the day with some other proper races? A consolation race for the Gordon Spice “non-qualifiers” for example.

Brereton coming from nowhere to join the top three just before the SC does a fantastic job.

Until Hart escorted him off the track.. just as I was thinking how well behaved everyone has been. Unlucky for Brereton who was all set to go 2nd. At least we seem to have snuck in an extra lap for Brereton to try and get back up to 3rd.

To be fair to Hart (no relation that I am aware) at that point of 20 minute race, I would think that his tyres would have dictated that he needed all of the track available. Having watched him and his son over quite a few years, they are fair drivers whilst being pretty swift.
