289 Cobras racing on TV
I'm sure it's been on before but the Goodwood Revival with a few of its classes was on Speed today. I thought the footage of the 289's sliding while under full throttle was great, although they got beat by a Ferrari.

I just picked up the GT Racer collector's pack from Spirit Level Films (the same guys who produced the great Cobra Ferrari Wars aka Snake and the Stallion documentary for BBC).
GT Racer is a British TV show that follows The Master Series of vintage sports car racing in the U.S. and Europe on such legendary tracks as Laguna Seca, Spa-Francorchamps and the Nurburgring. Several original 289 Cobras are featured in the racing action, and I've been trying to identify them as I watch the DVDs (incl. CSX2153 and HEM-6). |
In my gallery is a photo of CSX 2318 that was owned by a friend in the early 70's. The car is now owned by an industrialist in England, has been converted to FIA specs and is vintage raced regularly, the car is now silver.

You typically see csx2049 running in the Masters. Car now wears a red team stripe and a Lemans HT.
