Goodwood 80th Members Meeting April 2023
A fabulous weekend of petrol, racing and classic/vintage cars, oh and bikes. Goodwood in Chichester was utterly stunning in the early spring sun.
I took a lot of photo’s and some video too, so I’ve tried to arrange them into logical sections based on races etc, I may well have got them wrong! So please let me know if I did info@VeneziaPhoto.co.uk
As each section has quite a few photo’s use the “Load More” button to see more, I’ve given an indication of how many photos each section has
Returning after a year’s break, the bonkers fight for pre-war ‘specials’ is back for a pair of short, sharp sprints. These cars were first made back in the very early days of motoring, and raced on make-shift circuits around Britain over a century ago. Expect to see Goodwood legends including the Fiat S76 “Beast of Turin” . We had the pleasure of speaking to Neil Gough owner and driver in this competition of of the 1911 K-R-I-T and James Baxter owner/driver of the 1913/16 8.2 litre Oakland Romano

Aston Martin Three Wheeler!!
This poor chap left a wheel of his Aston behind on the Lavant Straight at 80th Goodwood Members Meeting at speed, thankfully no one was hurt and he managed to get off the circuit but could imagine quite a repair bill. The wheel still had the knock off on it!
