Page 3 Classic & Competition Car March 2011 News by Simon Wright Goodwood Festival of Speed to honour Jaguar E-Type The special central feature display at the Goodwood Festival of Speed this year will pay tribute to the 50th anniversary of the Jaguar E-Type. The unique sculpture will be created by Gerry Judah, who has been responsible for all the memorable display pieces since 1997. There will also be a special class in the Cartier ‘Style et Luxe’ concours d’elegance for variations of the E-Type Jaguar. On the hill there will also be examples of all of the noteable racing E-Types. As well as celebrating the Jaguar E-Type, Goodwood will also remember the © Simon Wright 60th anniversary of Jaguar’s first win at the famous Le Mans 24 hours race with a class for Jaguars 24 Hour challengers. This should include C-Types, D-Types and also the much later XJ-R types which returned so successfully to Le Mans in the 1980’s. The Jaguar celebrations will also be carried over to the Goodwood revival in September. The Fordwater Trophy race on the Saturday will be for Jaguar E-Types only in 2011. The 45 minute race will be for 2 drivers per car, which allows celebrity drivers to compete along side the cars usual driver. Jaguar have a long and sucessful association with Goodwood. The first post war race © Simon Wright at Goodwood in 1948 was won by a Jaguar SS100. Jaguar went on to win many sports car and GT races at Goodwood up until it ceased its normal racing activity in 1966. This years Festival of Speed will take place between the 1st and 3rd of July 2011 and the Goodwood Revival meeting will take place between the 16th to 18th September 2011.

  • Richard Hargreaves Pendle & DMC Scammonden Dam Hillclimb
    2018 Association of Northern Car Clubs Richard Hargreaves Pendle & DMC Photos courtesy of Scammonden Dam Brian Taylor Hillclimb (White Dog Photography) Volume 9 : Issue 9 : September 2018 : Maurice Ellison Chairman's Chat It’s a pity the Pendragon Stages is run on the Bank Holiday weekend as last weekend we had the typical Bank Holiday weather – low cloud and plenty of rain ! Despite that I was glad to have gone as the venue is excellent. On the down side however I would like to raise something that I have mentioned previously but the situation still occurs. There was a dark blue Honda Civic on which were black competition numbers and on the first stage they were just visible but as the light deteriorated when the rains came they were invisible to the radio crews. It was clearly stated in the event regulations that competition numbers in accordance with Blub Book section 6.1.3a (which links to J4.1) were to be used. In essence there should be black numbers on a white background of a given size. In addition these must be present before scrutineering. So this car should have failed scrutineering as should several other cars which had the background incorrect including some of the first 9 cars who thought they didn’t need as big a background as they only have one number. This might seem trivial to some but it’s a safety issue as the job of the radio crews is to log the passage of cars and call in if one goes off or stops.
