Video: 2024 Gordon Spice highlights | 81MM
The 81st Members’ Meeting presented by Audrain Motorsport was once again brought to a dramatic end with the hectic action of the Gordon Spice Sprint. The 20-minute dash for the final honours of the weekend always delivers plenty of action as the fastest cars are sent to the back of the grid and challenged with forging their way to the front.
2024 Gordon Spice Sprint highlights
Three Mini’s led away from the start, but it didn’t take long until the might V8s of the Mustangs and Camaros behind started to loom in the background. Fred Shepherd in his Mustang and Jack Tetley’s Camaro engaged in a battle for the lead following a brief red flag stoppage, and the pressure from behind eventually took its toll on Tetley as he struggled under braking and eventually fell down the order.
With plenty of action all the way through the field, as always, it was the perfect way to round off what had been a brilliant weekend of motorsport to kick off the 2024 Goodwood season.
2024 Gordon Spice Trophy highlights
It’s little vs large vs a few in the middle, as monster V8 Camaros thunder their way around with Rover SD1s, Ford Capris and an assortment of other race spec family favourites.
The Camaros were a thumping force to be reckoned with in this year’s race but even the likes of Tom Kristensen, Dario Franchitti, Andy Priaulx and Gordon Shedden couldn’t quite put the bowtie-badged bruisers ahead of the flying Fords. The Bernhard/Shepherd Boss looked to be in with a shout but the Davies and Sutton car made hay while the sun set.
It’s appropriate in this the Mustang’s 60th year, that it was a Boss one-two as darkness fell over Sussex on the Saturday of 81MM.
2024 Gordon Spice Trophy Official Practice
A classic little versus large battle unfolded during the practice sessions, with the extremes of machinery illustrated by the Mini 1275GTs at one end and the V8 Chevrolet Camaros at the other. As the pace was quickening, things came to a halt when the oil-shedding Rover SD1 of Alex Brundle caused a lengthy red flag.
Most teams took the opportunity to perform a driver swap while marshals worked to prepare the circuit. When things got moving again, one of the most spectacular drives was the balletic performance of Jake Hill aboard his always-sideways Ford Capri. He secured third on the grid, lined up behind the pole-sitting Ford Mustang of Timo Bernhard and Fred Shepherd and the Chevrolet Camaro of Gordon Shedden and Jack Young.
