The running of the annual Goodwood Festival of Speed, on until June 28, looks to be one of the most diverse yet. Every cornerstone of international motoring and motorsport is covered, to the point where selecting a panel of highlights is rendered an impossible task for even the most opinionated car fan. Check out the provisional entry list below, and you’ll understand what we mean.

Ferrari, Mercedes-Benz, Porsche, BMW, Formula 1, Nascar, drifting, IndyCar, Honda, Ducati, and many more are there in incredible numbers. There is something for absolutely everyone.

New Zealand influence can also be seen throughout the line-up, with the Porsche 919 Hybrid that Earl Bamber recently helped race to victory at Le Mans, Greg Murphy’s 2009 Sprint Gas Racing Holden VE Commodore V8 Supercar, ‘Mad Mike’ Whiddett’s Mazda RX-7, and McLarens galore also in attendance.

To view all of these incredible machines on the track, check out the live feed below.

Project Adder – an MGB with bite

Bill and Rae Denize have been active MG Car Club members in Wellington for nearly 32 years. They have held a variety of positions on the club committee, and now that they are both retired, they can be even more involved in the club’s activities. Bill is currently the president of the MG Car Club, Wellington Centre.
The list of cars they’ve owned over the years is testament to their passion for the brand. It includes a 1972 Midget — the round rear-wheel arch model with 1275cc motor; a three-door 2004 MG ZR; a 2005 MG ZR (five-door); and Rae’s 2005 MG TF, which they still own. Bill also raced a 1967 Morris Mini Cooper S at Manfeild for many years. That car featured in an article in the January 2013 issue of this magazine.
In April 2013, Bill sold the Cooper S and decided to buy a low mileage, freshly imported MG RV8 from Japan. He liked the idea as there were only 1983 built in the early 1990s, which, hopefully, would translate into these cars holding their value. More importantly, their bodies were galvanised, which meant fewer rust problems, although Bill and Rae didn’t escape encounters with oxidation unscathed.
