Which cars are racing in the Surtees Trophy?
The cars taking part in the race are all sports-racing prototypes of a type that raced between 1960 and 1966. That means you can expect to see everything from Ford GT40s to early Can-Am machinery from McLaren and Lola with M1As, M1Bs and T70s strewn throughout the field.
There will also be some less well known marques in the mix. The likes of Chevron, Chinook and Atilla are also represented in this years' Surtees Trophy. The Chevrons in particular bring a more delicate, highly-strung energy to the grid thanks to their revvy four-cylinder engines, which offer quite the contrast to the gargling V8s that will dominate the Surtees Trophy chorus.
Which drivers are racing in the Surtees Trophy?
The Surtees Trophy always brings together an excellent field of drivers, many well-versed in the art of racing at Goodwood. The race’s last running at the 79th Members’ Meeting saw the likes of Oli Bryant, Ewen Sergison and Rob Hall battling it out, lighting up the timing screens with the relentless speed of these incredibly powerful prototypes. It was Bryant that triumphed in his Lola T70 Spyder.
This year, Alex Brundle will line up on the grid in his Ford GT40 with a view to adding his name to the Surtees Trophy roll of honour.
