Two Thunderbirds at Goodwood Festival of Speed

[Sierra977]

Two Thunderbirds this year at Goodwood in England for the Revival. One of the 1957 Battlebirds and a 1959 NASCAR Thunderbird no doubt equipped with the 430 cu in engine.

ETA: In 2017 the 1959 NASCAR Thunderbird was driven in the same event by nine-time Le Mans winner Dane Tom Kristensen who decimated the field passing cars EVERYWHERE on the track until the car's tailpipe came loose and course marshals black-flagged him.

Noticed the same car this year had a front brake-cooling duct come loose but the car nevertheless won its race.
