ESTABLISHED 1895 Autocar

摘要

Goodwood opens: 24 September 1948. IT WAS WITH regret that race fans saw Brooklands sold to Vickers in 1946 to continue its wartime role as an aircraft factory, so it was with delight that Autocar witnessed RAF Westhampnett in 1948 become the Goodwood Circuit - and said that "no more pleasant meeting has ever taken place". "After the Duke and Duchess had opened the new circuit with ceremony, the first race went off dead on programme time."
