It’s the 24th August 1963, and two Ferrari 250 GTOs and an Aston Martin DP214 are battling for Tourist Trophy supremacy at Goodwood…
As cool as ever, mustachioed Englishman Graham Hill leads the GTO of Mike Parkes and the Aston Martin DP214 of Innes Ireland through the Goodwood chicane during the 28th Tourist Trophy. Also in the chasing pack are such names as Roy Salvadori, David Piper, Roger Penske and Jack Sears. However, there’s no Stirling Moss – after his serious accident here last year, he’s on timekeeping duty in the pit-lane instead. Ultimately, Hill keeps his nerve to take the chequered flag in front of Parkes, while the Aston drops down from 3rd to finish 7th; Roy Salvadori joins the Englishmen on the podium.
