The cars of the Chichester Cup may not have the biggest engines or set the fastest lap times, but there’s no doubting the competitiveness of the drivers in these small-engined single-seaters. These front-engined Formula Junior cars have screaming little engines up to 1100cc and are the kind of cars with which the likes of Jim Clark learnt their craft.
The original Chichester Cup – named after the city that neighbours the Goodwood Motor Circuit – ran sporadically throughout the 1950s and 1960s. Most notably, it was a Formula 3 race in 1964 in which Jackie Stewart claimed victory.
With such an illustrious past, chalking up a win in the Chichester Cup means a lot to the drivers who enter the race. Witness them manage minimal grip as they hustle entry-level Lotus, Brabham and Cooper single-seaters around the circuit.
