Next July is the 70th anniversary of Mike Hawthorn’s first victory GP win in 1953. This is considered one of the most exciting races of all time seeing Hawthorn battle it out with Fangio and winning by just a second. To celebrate Michael Ballard is organising a track day at Goodwood on the 5th of July 2023. We supported Michael in putting on the 100th anniversary of Jaguar Cars at Brooklands earlier this year, and are pleased again to support Michael with the Hawthorn anniversary.
The entry cost is £350 and spaces are limited to 60 cars. Additional drivers can be added at £100 per person and for passengers wishing to accompany a driver, there is an administrative charge of £30 per person. The event has a sound limit of 98 decibels. For those wishing to spectate numbers are unrestricted and admission is free. Hawthorn went on to be the UK’s first World Champion, driving a D-Type Jaguar. It would therefore be fitting to see a range of XKs at the Goodwood event. The Twyford Moors team will be in attendance on the day with either our C-Type or D-Type to make the most of what promises to be a wonderful event.
