No you haven't the St Mary's race ( saloon cars ) alternates between pre 60 and pre 67 , this year its pre 60 hence no minis, this only changes if there is some kind of anniversary.

As a GR virgin, I had a great, if hot, time.

Arrived about 5 minutes before 7am and were probably amongst the first 50 cars there.

A few memories here :-

Ah that explains it. St Mary's was still a cracking pair of races to watch. Quite a few spills this year. Hope all the drivers are okay.

Didn’t go this year, but watched the live stream and was amazed at how good it is, TBH better than the “Normal TV” coverage of a motor race. Also you can pause it rewind it while you go off to the loo

Did wonder if the Thunderbird should of been in another race though, its is just so dominant, with its massive power advantage on what is a fast circuit……really its theirs to lose. especially in the pre 1960 STMarys

Agree… I feel even I could win if I was driving a thunderbird always needs a little bit of rain to even things up!

What a shame not a single mini in a race. What were they thinking not including mini’s this year. Watching that classic battle of mini’s with the bigger and more powerful cars has been a feature of touring car racing since the beginning and of course the Revival. I can’t imagine what is behind the omission. Anyone got anything on this to explain? Like the E types Cobras, and Ferrari 250 GTO’s a Revival is incomplete without a Cooper S on thr grid. Shame on you Goodwood!
