Maserati 250F - Goodwood Revival Meeting

The 250F is StorksRock's favourite GP car and they are celebrating 60 years of it at the revival with 16 of the 29 that were built being here, including as goodwood put it.

"the 1957 car in which Juan Manuel Fangio recorded his final (and most famous) victory. It was the Nurburgring GP in 1957, and Fangio knew he couldn’t finish the race without stopping. Running with a light fuel load, he built up a 40-second lead, repeatedly setting new lap records in the process. When he stopped, the Ferraris of Hawthorn and Collins went by uninterrupted. A delay during Fangio’s stop put him almost a minute behind. Battling through the field, he beat his own lap record by a huge seven seconds, passing both Ferraris on the last lap to win. "

Awesome to stand right next to the car that was Fangio's office that day on that most dangerous of tracks. The light was not so good where they had that car displayed so this os one of the other 15 that are here, from qualifying, taken near Lavant, panning with a quarter second shutter speed.
