Four Lola T70 Mk3Bs will also be featured, including the car raced by ex-F1 racer Jo Bonnier. Both Jackie Oliver, who won Le Mans for Ford in 1969 and Richard Attwood, who won in 1970 with the 917, will be in attendance.<\/p>\n<p>Established by Goodwood owner Lord March to recreate the atmosphere and camaraderie of the original BARC Members\u2019 Meetings held at Goodwood between 1949 and 1966, the event conjures up some of the most evocative sights and sounds from motor racing\u2019s golden era.<\/p>\n<p>A packed, two-day program for the 74<sup>th<\/sup> Members\u2019 Meeting will feature 12 races for vehicles ranging from Edwardian leviathans to 1970s Grand Prix motorcycles. There will also be demonstration runs covering two other celebrated motorsport periods \u2014 ground effect Formula One cars from 1977-\u201982, and Super Touring cars of the 1990s.
