  • Ford Sierra Cosworth RS500 1990 Championship Winner Chassis MTRS01
    Ford Sierra Cosworth RS500 1990 Championship Winner Chassis MTRS01 The Trakstar team was formed in 1989 to contest the British Touring Car Championship by Robb Gravett and Mike Smith together with team manager Malcolm Swetnam, poached from the previous year’s BTCC winning Prodrive BMW M3 team for whom Smith drove. Gravett drove the Ford Sierra Cosworth RS500 to victory first time out in the opening round of the 1989 BTCC at Oulton Park, he then went on to score a total of 4 wins, 5 pole positions and 8 fastest laps for runners up spot in BTCC Class 1 and 4th overall in the 1989 Championship. They would have won the Class 1 Championship in their rookie year when Andy Rouse had all his points deducted for running illegally modified Garret turbos but the FIA overrode this penalty on appeal as the French language edition of the FIA Yellow Book stated that “repairs” were allowed unlike the English edition. For the 1990 season Trakstar focussed their efforts on one car, MTRS01, for lead driver Robb Gravett, with Mike Smith joining him at Brands Hatch and Stig Blomqvist at Donington for the long distance races. This car, which was a new shell specified by Trakstar and built up by Dave Cook of Yortech Fabrications with Mountune engines producing 550bhp and the running gear from the previous year’s car including all the trick bits; Eggenberger suspension, Getrag 5-speed box and the Ron Harrop designed spool, known in the UK as the “Australian differential”. The result was a record-breaking season for Gravett and Trakstar with 9 wins, 8 pole positions and 8 fastest laps to finish first in Class A and win the overall 1990 British Touring Car Championship, the only Sierra Cosworth RS500 to do so.

  • Official Race Card October 16-18, 2020
    OCTOBER 16-18, 2020 OFFICIAL RACE CARD FOREWARD BY THE DUKE OF RICHMOND WELCOME TO SPEEDWEEK FOREWARD BY Welcome everyone to Goodwood SpeedWeek THE DUKE OF presented by Mastercard. Now, at last, we RICHMOND can fire up those engines and go racing, and so bring our motorsport season spectacularly back to life. Of course, I am very sad and disappointed that you cannot be at the circuit with us but, let me assure you, it’s going to be an utterly unique and memorable event and you won’t miss a minute of the action on all three days. Ironically, because we have to stage the event behind closed doors, we are able to create a spectacle that we would normally never dream of doing. As a live and interactive TV show, SpeedWeek will be brought to you in a way that has never been seen before in motorsport broadcasting. The live stream, and the ITV coverage, will be free to air and will take you right into the heart of the event with all the race action, interviews with the drivers and coverage of the new rally stages, the Shootout for the fastest lap of the circuit, and a sensational celebration of 70 years of Formula 1. SpeedWeek combines many of the best elements of the Members’ Meeting, the Festival of Speed and the Revival, plus some new and exciting content that will see the cars using parts of the circuit that are way beyond the track limits. The Shootout for fastest lap will see modern machinery on the circuit, something we’ve never been able to do before.
