IGNITIONEVENTS + NEWS + OPINION
The tenth running of the Members’ Meeting since its rebirth in 2014 was as spectacular as ever, especially if you like Can-Am, and even more so if the menacing Shadows are your favourite cars. There was a big tribute to Niki Lauda, too, while the GMA T.50 made its long-awaited dynamic debut with Dario Franchitti at the wheel, and there was frankly terrifying sidecar action around the circuit for the first time. For us the star turn was the opening of the famous Tyrrell Shed, saved from its Surrey location and transplanted to its new forever home at Goodwood.
