Someone was recently telling me that many of the 'rare high dollar' cars raced at Goodwood are actually copies of the originals. The driver owns the original which is safely stored away, while the copy gets thrashed out on the racetrack. I called BS on that. Am I wrong and this is a common practice?
Many of the cars are not the originals. Toolroom copies from Gelscoe and the likes are common.
There have been parade laps with original cars like 917's, well spaced out and sometimes with famous drivers that are past their prime but a huge draw to see them in cars they ran in period.
It's a different league, literally re writing what guys like Penske did, seeking the "unfair advantage".
If you want to see cars run hard. Goodwood is the place. It's not often you'll see valuable cars driven so hard they are literally broken in half.
