Video: The most dramatic Friday moments at 2024 Goodwood Revival

We kick off with BTCC champion Andrew Jordan getting the Dragonsake Cobra nicely and controllably out of shape in his search for grip on the soaking wet track. Sticking with the theme is the Austin-Healey 3000 being expertly pedalled by Richard Woolmer. Marvel as he settles into long, lurid slides with lights ablaze in the gloom. Truly marvellous to watch.

Next we move to the St. Mary’s Trophy where a little versus large battle illustrates two different approaches to the same corner. The gargantuan Ford Galaxie 500 requires a completely different line to a dainty Alfa Romeo Giulia, as you’ll see when they find themselves on the same part of the track as each other. Another Austin-Healey makes an impression next. Amid a field of mostly closed cars in the Fordwater Trophy, Tim Crighton carves his way through the traffic in his aeroscreen equipped 100/6. It was the perfect demonstration of how to deal with slower-moving cars. Perhaps he was just in a hurry to get back to dry.

Speaking of drying out, in the Sussex Trophy the Lister Costin makes an effort to create a dry line by spitting flames from its exhaust. It was a valiant effort but we think the rain won that particular battle. Next up we have a Lotus 15 that gains a place by going around the outside of a fellow Lotus rival at No Name. More deft car control follows with Tiff Needell aboard a Jaguar C-Type, his trademark oversteer driving style coming to the fore on the soggy Goodwood circuit.

And then we round things off with Isle of Man TT winner Davey Todd aboard a 95-year-old rigid-framed BMW R57 Kompressor. An unforgiving machine even in ideal conditions, but one which he mastered even in the wet.

And this is just day one of three. We can’t wait to see what else unfolds during the 2024 Goodwood Revival.
