In additon to providing the wonderful ‘cars of Fangio’ which appeared in last week’s VeloceToday, Hugues took many other outstanding photos (exclusive to VeloceToday) of this year’s Goodwood Revival, which seems to get stronger every year and is now the greatest vintage car race and show on earth. Out thanks to Hugues for taking us there. Captions are unnecessary, but if you want to know more about any of these photos, just ask.

Hugues Vanhoolandt brings us the best of France and Italy, Goodwood Style.
Every year since 1993, the Goodwood Festival of Speed in Southern England attracts the best of the cars and drivers from past and present and even provides a look at the future of the automobile.
One of the themes of this year’s Goodwood Festival of Speed was “Giant steps in motor racing history”, and to illustrate the theme, some French cars in attendance were really appropriate. To mention a few, a 1930 Bugatti Type 53 four-wheel drive, the 1964 CD-Panhard with its aerodynamic shape to suit the straights of Le Mans, the four-wheel steering Peugeot 405 T 16 ‘Pikes Peak’, the 1977 Renault Turbo that revolutionized F1 and the 2010 electric powered Citroën Survolt. French cars have been on the leading edge of technological changes since the invention of the automobile.
Only the Festival of Speed can bring together so many different cars to give an instant view of more than a century of automotive history and this year Ferrari and Fiat were in showing cars that covered the span of that century. Chris Evans’ collection alone was worth the trip!

In an exclusive interview granted in 2001 with VeloceToday Editor Pete Vack, the only Champion on two wheels and four tells it like it was…
