Going to Goodwood is a bucket list option (May happen ) Tom Kristensen is a pretty good shoe around Goodwood in another old Ford product https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ser-fqlT22M

More pictures:

Track photo from "Officers Club" just past the starting line.
You are given a single channel earpiece where commentators
keep everyone up to date even if you're inside at the open bar.
Trackside viewing is spectacular.
This photo was the Pre-1945 Harley-Davidson tribute lap.
Must have been well over 100 bikes. Drivers dressed in period.

A Dragon Snake (Total of 8 were built)
This car, along with dozens of other original Cobras participated
in a Shelby tribute lap and full competition.

First, these vids and pix from Goodwood are absolutely fantastic. Thanks for posting.

These vintage races require the cars to adhere to certain period-correct standards, yes?

Then why do these Cobras each run with a roof rather than an open cockpit as would have been the case back in the day?

And lastly, where do they source the roof? Are there prominent vendors?

I have seem some impressive DIY roof projects here on the forum. Maybe someone here could land a customer with deep pockets. Just sayin'
