Dit jaar ga ik niet, maar dit is toch wel serieus gaaf (krijg ik net gemaild van de organisatie):
De enige keer dat dit eerder gebeurde, was in 2002 - en toen was ik er ook niet bij! :(
Bugger, bugger, bugger...

To help mark these special celebrations, Goodwood will stage arguably the most distinctive race in West Sussex motor circuit’s history – and also recreate one of the Revival’s most memorable tribute races – the Freddie March Memorial Trophy.*In this anniversary year, this race will become a 90-minute endurance chase for only the second time, extending into the dusk on the evening of Saturday 20 September.*The race will feature cars in the spirit of the original Goodwood Nine Hour event, including Jaguar C-type, Aston Martin DB3S, Frazer Nash, Cooper-Jaguar, Ferrari 750 Monza, HWM and Lagonda.
The only previous occasion that the race has run to this format was in 2002, in celebration of the 50th anniversary of the inaugural Nine Hour International sports car race at Goodwood in 1952.*Special permission was granted to extend the racing longer into the evening than normal, bringing back to Goodwood the magical sight of 1950s sports cars racing in the autumnal twilight with headlamps ablaze, just as they did in the 1950s.*It remains one of the most unforgettable races at the Revival to date, and the 2008 recreation promises to be equally enthralling.
