American muscle may not have made the cut but boy does it look good going sideways.
If you love classic cars, you’ve likely heard of the annual automotive spectacle held at the lush greens of the Goodwood circuit at Chichester in the United Kingdom. A video has been compiled of the most beautiful cars at the 79th Members Meeting which happened a few days ago.
American muscle may not have made the cut but boy does it look good going sideways.
Without commentary accompanying the priceless pieces of motoring history pierce through the air as abruptly as you’d ever expect, we have been provided with the rare opportunity to see some purpose built machinery from yesteryear strut their stuff, quite confidently if I might add, on a race track. Afterall, these cars were built to be driven. Garage Queen for who, right?
What makes this event even more special is that it is period correct. What this means is that viewers can immerse themselves into bygone eras of motorsport greatness… you know, when going fast was paramount and safety was a hushed up word barely uttered in racing circles.
Among the list of 8 are some of the most beautiful specimens to come out of countries like Italy, Germany and the UK in their Golden Era of motorsport.
While personal favourites from the 79th Members Meeting will divide opinion, we are sure the common theme in this video is the gratitude of being able to watch these bare-bones race cars being pushed to the limit as if it were the era of their inception.
If the visuals won’t suffice, perhaps the audible satisfaction of the Senna driven McLaren MP4/5 will. Despite the driver nursing the throttle feeding the behemoth V10 at what sounds like half of its capability, it still has the ability to provide a nostalgia into what many consider as the pinnacle of Formula 1; the 1990s. Based on the legacy of Senna, it is no wonder McLaren decided to adorn his name on one of their most ludicrous road cars yet.
Either way, it would be sacrilege to the inner Alfista within me if I didn’t choose the tantalisingly beautiful Alfa Romeo 3000 Disco Volante as my personal favourite. Have a look at the reimagined version based on an Alfa Romeo 8C and produced by Italian coachbuilders Touring Superleggera here.
