A few years ago I was lucky enough to be a guest at Donnington Park and had the chance to ride around in a 1920's 4.5 liter Bentley. It was amazing . Nothing like your R-type, but still pretty cool.
Maybe Lord March will catch on with the Cars and Bikes bit and a bring a vintage bike racing class to Goodwood sometime. I bet it would be a big hit. And cheaper to ship a bike then a car. When you consider all t he drivers that raced bikes, including, maybe the greatest early American d river, Barney Oldfield, there is a real historical connection. He got hi s start racing bikes on the track.
Does anyone have any idea what ever happened to the vintage cycling team su pport cars? They have to be somewhere. Maybe not. Would love some photos of those if anyone has them.
Cheers. Jim
