Stars in cars

Not so obvious though, this is the St Mary's Trophy race at Goodwood Revival.
"For production saloon cars of a type that raced between 1950 and 1959."

But would you recognise the drivers and the cars?

Every time I looked at that Tatra 203 I thought it was going in reverse, it's so weird !

#27 John Haugland - Skoda world rally championship driver
#7 Who do you think you are, Stirling M ... Oh Hello Sir Stirling !
#16 Bobby Rahal - you might know who he is :)
#25 Jochen Maas - you should know him.
#10 - Rauno Aaltonen - yes, the flying Finn.

A few more to tax your brain.

Cool stuff, Paul. I hate that Goodwood has so many also-rans driving around... :) It's cool seeing some of the older European cars too, and how different in size (and ability) they are to the American cars of the same era.

This is the first part of the race - the professionals hand back to the cars' owners in round 2 on Sunday.

Wonderful pictures of legends in legends. Thanks for posting. - TF
