Win Percy at Goodwood
The Goodwood Revival 2002 - The Sussex Trophy


And you think you can drive? Just watch this with Win Percy on the limit virtually the whole of this lap at Goodwood

It shows the first lap from the start of the 2002 Sussex Trophy at the Goodwood Revival. The car is the recreated long nose Jaguar D-Type, Chassis XKD 505, Mike Hawthorn's car that won Le Mans in 1955. It was rebuilt around the original chassis (recovered from XKD 504 where the factory put it as they repaired various cars). The camera is taped to the cockpit windshield on one side and the equipment is on the floor of the passenger side.

Coverage starts as Win rolls up to the race official with the Chequered Flag (brave guy!) at the race start. 50 seconds into the movie, the car leaps off the line (watch the bonnet go up) and, leaving everything else behind the D, from then on it's just very enjoyable.

! TURN THE VOLUME UP !
