Next up is the Settrington Cup - a five minute long pedal car race. It's a one-make series as all the entrants are Austin J40s. In 2017, a mint condition Austin J40 could set you back around £4000...

Ian Dalglish
“It was a bit hairy out there. I got a tap and some backmarkers were slowing!”
Dion Kremer
“It was pretty hairy! Everything else was excellent, sunshine and a race, what’s not to like?!”
Miles Griffiths
“It didn’t feel very easy when Dion was catching me! I’ve loved the event.”

Kremer comes home in second, and Dalglish just holds off Adams by 0.05s for third.

Miles Griffiths wins the Madgwick Cup.
But wait! Ben Adams has found some speed and he's catching Dalglish for third place.
Up front Miles Griffiths is onto the final lap, with a heathy advantage over Dion Kremer and Ian Dalglish.
Bellinger then escapes a rather large moment around those backmarkers, running wide at No Name, then shooting across track at St Mary's and off on the other side, before an apologetic wave to those around him as he gets it back on track at Lavant.
Dalglish is back into third as Bellinger is baulked by a backmarker again!
That said, Dalglish closes back in on Bellinger for third, as the latter loses time behind a backmarker at Fordwater.
Kremer hasn't been able to reel Griffiths back in, and Bellinger has pulled away from Dalglish, so the top three are settling in.
Further back, Robert Newall is out on track in Christopher Jaques’ 1955 Buckler DD1.
Only one DD1 was built by Derek Buckler, who sold space frame cars from the late 1940s. It was to be raced at Le Mans in 1955, but didn’t compete that year. It’s powered by a Coventry Climax engine, with an Aston Martin DBS gearbox, and De Dion rear end (hence the DD moniker).

Dalglish is trying to fight back but Bellinger opens a gap on the pit straight, and will hope to make third his own now.
Bellinger gets alongside Dalglish earlier this lap but is on the outside of Madgwick so can't get the move done. The pair go either side of a backmarker into Lavant, and Bellinger holds on to make the pass!
Close for Bellinger and Dalglish, as the former hits the latter into Madgwick, but luckily both cars are able to continue without anything serious coming of it.
But Griffiths is back ahead as he looks inside Kremer at Madgwick, forcing the leader to run wide off the track. The second-place man has to do it all over again.
New leader! Kremer outdrags Griffiths out of the chicane.
Timing is playing up, but you don't need it to tell you how close it is, Griffiths and Kremer are nose to tail out of Lavant and up towards Woodcote!
So, what can Kremer do to reel in Griffiths ahead?
Yellow flag
Oh dear, Adams runs wide and spins. The grass is so wet, the pole-sitter gets crossed up in the first part of Lavant, clips the inside kerb and runs off the track.
Kremer briefly holds second, but Adams will have none of it and fights right back.
Close battle for second with Ben Adams ahead of Dion Kremer and James Bellinger.
Lights green
The Madgwick Cup is underway, as Miles Griffiths leads. He was quick for most of qualifying yesterday.

Next up is the Madgwick Cup for prototypes under three litres of a type that raced between 1955 and 1960. It'll be another 20-minute race, but has a lot to live up to after that outstanding Chichester Cup battle.
Quote
The top three from the podium:
Morton
“It was such fun racing Andrew [Hibberd], it was unlucky to him, but great Formula Junior racing. It’s fast, clean and competitive.”
Roche
“It was good. It was nice to be up there.”
Roach
“We finished the car on Wednesday morning so to win on its debut makes up for last year. The oil pressure started to fall and the engine wasn’t as crisp, and I was thinking ‘I’ve got to finish, please, please!’”

Such was the pace of the leaders, they lapped all but eight of the field! What a fantastic race to start this sunny Saturday at Goodwood.
Checkered flag
Victory for Stuart Roach in the Alexis-Ford Mk3, from Peter de la Roche in the BMC Mk2, and Pete Morton in the Ausper-Ford T3.
Roach digs deep and puts in a fastest lap of 1m 28.123s, and that might be enough to get him the victory.
Retirement for third-placed Andrew Wilkinson, who pulls the Lynx Mk3 into the paddock. All eyes on the leaders though, as Roach maintains the gap to de la Roche as they start the final lap.
Roach makes a bold pass on Marek Richman to lap the Cooper-BMC T56 into the chicane, which then holds up de la Roche to provide some breathing space. That breathing space is 0.5s however...
WOW! Roach goes wide on the grass while lapping Crispian Besley into Woodcote, but keeps his foot in and uses the tarmac run off to get back into the corner and retain the lead.
Superb racing, de la Roche tries to pass around the outside of Woodcote, Roach gets on the grass out of the chicane, de la Roche noses ahead, but Roche holds the inside line into Madgwick to regain the lead!
de la Roche is giving away horsepower in the BMC Mk2, but he makes up for it with excellent cornering which is not giving Roach any time to relax.
Yellow flag
Nothing between the leaders now, as Pat Barford spins into retirement in the De Sanctis-Fiat.
Roach is quickly under pressure for the lead as de la Roche is flying now he's not fighting Hibberd. A lead of a couple of seconds is down to tenths.
Yellow flag
Ah that's a shame, de la Roche shoots up the inside of Hibberd at St Mary's, but this forces Hibberd off onto the soaking wet grass. He almost holds onto it, but spins across track before getting going, but he's dropped down to seventh.
