Large crowds were drawn to the paddock all weekend, enjoying such rare sights as the Martini-liveried 911 Carrera 2.8 RSR that, due to its experimental ‘Mary Stuart’ rear wing, was obliged to compete in the prototype class during the 1973 season of the World Sportscar Championship. Thanks to the efforts of Porsche Cars Great Britain, the team at Porsche Heritage and Museum and the team at Goodwood itself, some 19 cars spanning three decades of racing had assembled for this unprecedented parade, creating a colourful chronology of works and customer cars that revealed the diverse history of the 911 in its many competitive guises. Some welcome spring sunshine over East Sussex on Saturday morning had dried the circuit just in time for the first of two days of nose-to-tail racing and high-speed demonstration runs, the highlight of which for many visitors would be a unique celebration of racing 911 cars from across the decades.
In the brand’s 75 thyear, and with a nod to both the centenary of Le Mans and the 60 th anniversary of the 911, last weekend’s annual motorsport event saw another spectacular line-up of historic Porsche sports cars lapping the famous racetrack in southeast England. The 80 th staging of the Goodwood Members’ Meeting once again had Porsche at its heart.
