| AC Cobra pushing hard, and a steam engine with a thresher in the background? Where else but Goodwood?! |
The
finest collection of significant and authentic racing AC Cobras ever
assembled in the UK will gather at next year’s Goodwood Revival
(14-16 September 2012) for an exceptional one-model race.
To
mark the 50th
anniversary since Carroll Shelby’s introduction of the initial
versions of this cult Anglo-American sports car, the 2012 Revival
will feature a grid exclusively made up of 30 Cobras and their
derivatives. This special all-Cobra race will be a 45-minute
two-driver competition, with driver changes in the pits between 15
and 30 minutes.
It
is expected that this one-off race will feature an extraordinary mix
of historically-significant competition Cobras, including some of the
special-bodied aerodynamic Cobra-based coupés. Goodwood also hope
that Carroll Shelby will be able to attend the 2012 Revival in person
as well, although this is yet to be confirmed.
The
race promises to make for an intriguing spectacle and a fitting
tribute to one of the world’s most revered, and copied, sports car
which has a long association with Goodwood. An exceptional line-up
of top drivers is expected to campaign the Cobras. More detailed
information about this exclusive race will follow early next year.
