Goodwood Revival

[Andy Zarse]

Hasn't Newey crashed twice this year - was it a GT 40.

Stick to what you're good at

Well obviously he is really good at crashing.
You have just brought back a very sad memory of the Classic.  And I was having such a good time...

Newey is a total liability behind the wheel by the look of it. Two big write-offs in practice/qualifying, he was only driving the E type cos he'd smacked up his GT40 beyond recognition. If one of his F1 drivers had such a record they'd have been sacked on the spot. Get back behind the CAD/CAM terminal Adrian before you hury yourself properly.

I did hear that his crash at the Classic was not his fault, but a failure somewhere on the car, maybe a tyre.

As normal some pretty historic cars came away from goodwood with some damage, including one driven by Stuart Graham who had his very first racing crash if my dad is to be believed, and pretty much anything driven by
Carlos Monteverde who must win the award for more money than talent.

However I would rather see these cars be raced than be locked up in in a museum somewhere. I just wish it was in not such an inept manner.

Wasnt it Carlos Monteverde who almost totaled a yellow GT 250 a couple of years ago? I agree the cars should be raced - not one fully competive car would be totally authentic after its first race anyhow - the optimum (i.e.the ones with the most provenance) race car finishes a race just befor it falls to bits, it is then take back to base to be rebuilt with new parts and raced again to the same limits, this is without the inevitable crashes that a car is likely to have if its driven on its limit. If a car is worth more than £1M it will last for ever because it will always be financially viable to repair it.
