McLarens takeover the Goodwood 73rd Members Meeting

1 April, 2015

The Goodwood 73rd Members Meeting, held on March 21–22, was a spectacular occasion showcasing some of the best racing flashbacks seen for years, but what was our highlight?

McLaren decided to organize a never-seen-before experience for Goodwood fans by means of McLaren F1 GTR overload. McLaren arranged F1 GTRs from every year that they contested the BPR Global GT Series, alongside a few guest appearances such as the new McLaren P1 GTR.

What they also did was capture it all on video for your viewing pleasure. Feast your eyes on the ’95, ’96, and ’97 ‘Longtail’ GTRs all on the circuit at the same time.

One of the rarest Mazdas,and amongst one of the rarest production cars in the World, a 1967 Series 1, Cosmo made its public debut at the 2025 Cromwell Classic and Hot Rod Car Show on Saturday January 18 this year.
After a challenging 5-year restoration, its proud Cromwell owner, Mike Elford celebrated its appearance along with Dunedin specialist, Mazda rotary engine builder, Cory Wilson who trallered the car through to the show.
“There are a number of details still to attend to and fine-tune the engine and then it will at last be finished. I’m very pleased with the result,” Cory said.
Mike is extremely pleased with the end now in sight of what has been a very challenging project. The tiny jewel of Japanese motoring engenuity attracted many on-lookers at the show as it sat glistening in the sun on an appropriately brilliant Central Otago summer’s day.
