Dubbed as the world\u2019s most expensive race grid, this one-hour twilight race featured 8 Ferrari 250 SWBs, 8 Jaguar E-Types, 4 Ferrari GTOs, 4 Aston Martin DB4GTs, 2 Cobras, 2 Big Healeys and a Maserati 3500 GT thrown in for good measure. With a Ferrari 250 GTO having just sold at Monterey for $52 million, the combined value of the Kinrara field was pushing a half a billion dollars!<\/p>\n<p>What immediately sucked me in was a stunning battle royale at the front between the Ferrari 250 GT \u201cBreadvan\u201d of Emanuele Pirro and Niklas Halusa swapping the lead back and forth with the Jaguar E-Type of Jon Minshaw and Phil Keen. As has become expected at Goodwood, these guys were flat-out, hammer-and-tong racing, with no quarter asked, and none given\u2026and they weren\u2019t alone. All up and down the 30-car Kinrara field, there was action and a commensurate amount of cringe-worthy carnage. And when I say cringe-worthy, I mean rear-ended Ferrari 250 GTO, smashed up E-Types, wildly spinning Aston Martin DB4GTs\u2026that kind of cringe \u2013worthy!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<style>\n        .memberful-global-teaser-content p:last-child{\n            -webkit-mask-image: linear-gradient(180deg, #000 0%, transparent);\n            mask-image: linear-gradient(180deg, #000 0%, transparent);\n        }\n    <\/style>\n<div class='memberful-global-marketing-content'>\n<div class=\"a07online-global-marketing-content-wrapper\">\n<h2 class=\"a07online-global-marketing-title\">No Subscription?
