- Freddie March, who founded the Goodwood Motor Circuit worked for Bentley after he left university. He was so inspired that he would get hold of an MG to race himself and take part in races at Brooklands. Eventually Freddie’s bug led to him founding his own racing team, with MGs, buying the first three MG Monthlery Midgets for the Brooklands Double 12. He would win the race and the Team won the Team prize first time out. The team and the MGs would go on to much pre-war success, helping to inspire the founding of the Goodwood Motor Circuit after the war. At the Goodwood Revival in 2021 one of the MGs that raced in that seminal contest returned to Goodwood.

Lord March and his prior generations have given so much to all us motorheads...THANK YOU !!
Thanks for sharing this little known MG history, at least in the States.
So much history at Goodwood
How eloquently Duncan speaks; he'd make a fine commentator at FOS or the Revival. What a fine ambassador the Duke is for motor racing too.
Wonderful. Threads of history spun into a trail that leads to Goodwood that is really the only true centre of the Universe. of Old car racing of course.
I was there yesterday and it is a delight to hear this MGs place in its story.
Yet another great doco compliments from Goodwood, and follows the general ethos of historic motorsport and Goodwood's part in it.
May it always be so. Wonderful!👏👏👏👏👍🥃🥃🥃
interesting timing.. I am just re-reading MR MG a biography of John Thornley ..he was with MG from the 30's until the end in the 80's (although retired before that)
What a great video. I liked the pictures from the scrapbook very much. Been at Goodwood and Brooklands many times.
Fantastic story Duncan don't forget to pick me up for a spin!

Looking forward to stick the JCC badge on my 34 midget and doing its first miles after 35+yrs being ia a barn... wish restoring was a little easier...
Cheers for the video mate 😎 👌
the thumbnail and title don't do the video justice
Cute car. The boattail sets it off.
I have a green Lomax 224 and my imagination.
OK, we have met. Now, what's under your hood and holding your wheels on?
