Audi R18 e-tron quattro. This thing won the 2014 24 Hours of Le Mans |
These cars have raced at Le Mans and many have come straight from the track wearing the patina of 24 hours of racing. These cars, with their tiny, uncomfortable cockpits, big wings and tyres and engines hidden away under bodywork are, to me, the most beautiful cars on display at Goodwood.
There are plenty of Le Mans cars at Goodwood. These are my four favourites.
