Nick Padmore: A Father-Son Racing Story - The Journey to Goodwood Members' Meeting

[mab01uk]

"Nick Padmore’s journey through motorsport has seen him behind the wheel of everything from historic Formula 1 cars to some of the most celebrated machines in racing. But his connection to Minis goes deeper. It’s a bond that began with his father, racing them when Nick was a child, and has never let go. Today, as a four-time Masters Historic F1 Champion, Monaco Historique podium finisher, and Goodwood lap record holder, the Mini remains a constant thread in his story. Now, dad & lad take on the Goodwood Members Meeting together in Nick's newly acquired FIA Historic Mini."

Was that Goodwood Tim?

Yes, they were next to a Mr Stanworth who I was helping ; also giving me my first taste of historic Mini racing. Shortly after Maters announced they were going to have a MIni only class and thats what got me started.

Sadly the little kit car wasn't willing to play so it never got out to the parade lap
