Festival of Speed review

1924 Bentley 3 Litre SuperSports YO736 took on the Timed Shootout at this year's Goodwood Festival of Speed. This year's theme was Rivals, and it ascended as part of Batch 1, Class 1: 'Pioneers to Playboys'.

Saturday's qualifying session brought a 76.33 second hillclimb. Then came Sunday's timed shootout final, where the Supersports hustled its way up the hill to clock 72.86 seconds in the Pre-War Sportscars category, William Medcalf at the helm, going head to head with a Mercedes-Benz 710 SSKL.

Thank you to everyone who came to see us, for those who have visited The Works on the road to Goodwood and to Noel Skeats Photography for the captured images.
