This meant the fight for fastest time of the weekend would go to a \u201cproper\u201d historic car. British hill climb veteran David Franklin drove Carlos Monteverde\u2019s Ferrari 712 to a stunning overall win with a time of 48.26 seconds over the 1.16-mile course. When the final times were tabulated, Franklin was a full 8 seconds ahead of the next in his class, Dickie Attwood in a Porsche 917.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The only real challenge to the Ferrari came from an entirely different division \u2013 the group which paid tribute to 40 years of Brabham racecars. Rob Hall, in a Brabham-Cosworth BT37, was just a fraction slower than Franklin, but claimed top honors in the Brabham class and second place overall.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2001\/10\/n5-200110-p1.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-813538\" src=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2001\/10\/n5-200110-p1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"674\" height=\"1080\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2001\/10\/n5-200110-p1.jpg 674w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2001\/10\/n5-200110-p1-187x300.jpg 187w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2001\/10\/n5-200110-p1-639x1024.jpg 639w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2001\/10\/n5-200110-p1-62x100.jpg 62w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2001\/10\/n5-200110-p1-293x469.jpg 293w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 674px) 100vw, 674px\" \/><\/a>Some 24 different classes of vehicle ran up Lord March\u2019s long driveway, and though many of these were parading rather than racing, the sheer range of cars on show was staggering.

This year\u2019s concours included elegant Edwardian cars, aerodynamic rarities, British-built hot rods and 100 years of Mercedes\u2019 finest vehicles. As if this wasn\u2019t enough, there was also the second annual running of Goodwood\u2019s soap box derby.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Well&#8230; we\u2019ll say it again\u2026\u2026..Lord March can\u2019t beat this year.
