A bit like an all-American counterpoint to the Gerry Marshall, the Pierpoint Trophy is no quarter given as a selection of saloons, many of which simply look too large to navigate the Goodwood Motor Circuit's confines, do battle. Not just with each other, but the physics of brutish torque, leaf springs, ungainly weight transfer and skinny tyres. This driver's eye view of the No.19 Ford Mustang shared by Alex Taylor and Andy Priaulx last year is a brilliant demonstration of all of those factors coming in to play, the effect magnified by being on cold tyres on the opening lap. It looks like a lot of hard work but also a lot of fun.
Welcome to Goodwood Elevenses, a mid-morning helping of motoring-related amusement to help break up your day. Watch the last video: This raw Members’ Meeting noise is a perfect Monday tonic
