Nigel Greensall upheld Jaguar honour by hoisting the Moss Trophy for closed-cockpit GT cars. The veteran allrounder led from start to finish aboard his E-type, Mike Whittaker providing competition during the early running in his vivid pink-hued AC Cobra. The lead duo was less than a second apart at half-distance of the 17-minute encounter, with the E-type of Oliver Bryant a further second in arrears. Behind them, the Jaguars of Gregor Fisken and young charger Jack Minshaw squabbled, with the latter getting past with five minutes left to run.
Greensall’s advantage over Whittaker by now stood at three seconds as Bryant kept a watching brief. Bryant, already a winner today, challenged mightily as they came upon backmarkers, but the Cobra’s extra horsepower showed in a straight line until the final lap. Bryant finally made it past on the Lavant Straight with seconds to spare thanks to a brilliant undercut move. Greensall won by 5.165-seconds from Bryant with Whittaker less than 0.2-seconds behind him in third.

About the Members’ Meeting
The Goodwood Members’ Meeting is an epic weekend of motor racing founded by the Duke of Richmond, which aims to recreate the atmosphere and camaraderie of the original BARC Members’ Meetings held at Goodwood throughout the 1950s and 1960s.
As well as a full programme of racing, the Members’ Meeting features all kinds of cars from classic tin-tops and GTs, to motorcycles and open wheeled Formula 3 and F1 machines, offering visitors a friendly and intimate atmosphere with no crowds, thanks to being exclusively available to GRRC Members and Fellowship. A winning formula of spectacular cars, high-speed track demonstrations, fun-packed festivities and great entertainment; along with the very best food and drink.
