  • This slightly bonkers race is full of unusual saloon cars from the 1950s all racing together. From the massive Cadillac Coupe and Jaguar MkVII to the tiny little Austin A35 and Nash Metropoliton it all look amazing together on track at Goodwood in the Sopwith Cup at the 79th Goodwood Members' Meeting presented by Audrain Motorsport.

You can also mingle with said stars in the paddocks and elsewhere at no extra cost. You can become part of the scene. It's almost a unique atmosphere.
