Goodwood Revival 2012 to Mark 50th Anniversary of AC Cobra


TGR Staff

The finest collection of significant and authentic racing AC Cobras ever assembled in the UK will gather at next year’s Goodwood Revival (14-16 September 2012) for a one-model race.
To mark the 50th anniversary since Carroll Shelby’s introduction of the initial versions of this cult Anglo-American sports car, the 2012 Revival will feature a grid exclusively made up of thirty Cobras and their derivatives. This all-Cobra race will be a 45-minute two-driver competition, with driver changes in the pits between 15 and 30 minutes.



It is expected that this one-off race will feature a mix of competition Cobras, including some of the special-bodied aerodynamic Cobra-based coupés. Goodwood also hopes that Carroll Shelby will be able to attend the 2012 Revival in person as well, although this is yet to be confirmed.
An interesting line-up of drivers is expected to campaign the Cobras. More detailed information about this exclusive race will follow early next year.
