Dear readers, if you will allow me just one more outing before we say goodbye to racing at Goodwood for the 2023. The follow are just some random shots taken by me from the chicane and assembly area track exit. No driver’s names, no race positions, just some photographs of old racing cars doing what they do best…..racing. Goodbye Goodwood, see you again in 2024.

Talbot. 1955 Talbot Lago T26 GSL. 2014 Concorso car on the Plaza early one morning. I mentioned earlier about the recalcitrant pre-selector gearbox. This was the car in question. Only 19 of these were ever built, and this is the only one with a factory built 4.3 liter six, making 210 hp.

In a few weeks we’ll feature early 1960s Grand Prix photos from the Seavey photo archives, but this week Charley shows more of his Santa Fe Concours photos from various years. You’ll see a Tubster, a rare in this country Maserati A6GCS/53, a car with no name and most impressive, an Isotta Fraschini Flying Star. Then there is the yellow TZ1 with a number reminiscent of the Bob Tullius race team. And see what happens when a lowrider lifts its skirts.
All here and more. Just enjoy.

Oh yes, the first reader to properly identify the car in the very last photo gets a free year’s subscription to VeloceToday. If you are already a subscriber, give it to a friend! Send your guess to vack@cox.net.

The Pebble Beach Concours d’Elégance began in tandem with the Pebble Beach Road Races in 1950 and was at its 69th edition this year. Brandes Elitch has reported in more depth about this year’s event. Here I present a modest gallery from my perspective.
