Do sportscars get much more hardcore than the Ford GT40? Those intake trumpets throbbing, the exhaust howling, and the power… Conversely, does a day for racing get much more hardcore than the Saturday at 2016’s Revival? It was utterly torrential!
Mix one of the brawniest animals in motor racing history with a sodden Goodwood Motor Circuit and you’ve got either a recipe for disaster, or fun. In the capable hands of Chris Ward, it’s all fun in the video above. He wrestles the J.D Classics GT40 with a perfect amalgam of precision and brute force during the sodden Whitsun Trophy – fiercely battling the rival Can-Am animals.
