There does seem to be a lot of 11/10ths driving at Goodwood. Possession of
unlimited $$ does not necessarily imply possession of talent or good
judgment, but it does seem to produce enthusiastic, over-optimistic driving.
On the other hand, the word "rare" takes on a new meaning while you're
touring the paddock at Goodwood. There were at least a half dozen C-types,
an equal number of D-Jags and several Jag-powered specials (Lister, Costin,
etc.). They were all beautiful but--at least for the weekend--not at all
rare.
When I first walked into the paddock and saw no less than eight 250F
Maseratis lined up together, I knew I was in some kind of vintage Valhalla.
No telling how many times they'd been rebuilt as a result of various shunts
and prangs.
