Capturing the Essence of Speed and Nostalgia: CJ13 1205 Philipp Buhofer, Lotus-Ford 27". In this stunning print by Chris McEvoy from CJM Photography, we are transported back in time to the exhilarating Chichester Cup race at Goodwood Revival in September 2023. The image showcases the iconic Lotus-Ford 27 driven by the talented Philipp Buhofer as it tears through the historic Goodwood Motor Circuit. The Chichester Cup was a thrilling twenty-five-minute race exclusively for rear-engined Formula Juniors equipped with disc brakes, reminiscent of classic racing competitions that took place until 1963. This event, organized by Duke of Richmond himself, brought together an array of heritage vehicles and celebrated the rich history of motor sport. McEvoy's panned shot perfectly captures the essence of speed and excitement as Buhofer skillfully maneuvers his open-wheeler monoposto around each bend. The retro design and single-seater layout evoke a sense of nostalgia for motorsport enthusiasts. This photograph not only highlights the beauty and power of these historic cars but also serves as a testament to their enduring legacy. It is a visual tribute to an era when circuit racing was at its peak, showcasing both timeless elegance and cutting-edge technology. With its vibrant colors, dynamic composition, and impeccable timing, this print encapsulates everything that makes Goodwood Revival such an unforgettable event - entertainment for all ages combined with a deep appreciation for classic automobiles.
