I got home late last night and clicked on the tube.
I had pretty low expectations for mid-week television, but I was pleasantly surprised to see this years Goodwood Races. Lots of neat cars really hammering around the course. I was particularly struck by the 1933 Napier-Railton with a 24 litre, V-12 aero engine. Not the fastest lapping car, but this monster was capable of over 150 mph in a straight line. Eight exhaust stacks on one side and four on the other. Glorious!
