A day of close racing and terrific competition has ended, and that also marks the close of Autosport Live's coverage of the Goodwood Revival. Thank you for following us and we hope you enjoyed it as much as we did.
"It's such a special car, such a historied car and such an honour to be asked to drive [the Ferrari 246s Dino]. It was pretty hairy out there and the windscreen is just at eye level." It's the car's fifth win and Sam Hancock's first.
James Cottingham (third): "Very much [lonely]. A car dealer from Kensington once told me that the scariest wet race he ever did was in that car [Tojeiro Jaguar]."
Oliver Bryant nearly took a trip through the grass as he attempted to overtake a backmarker, headlights off.
Under three minutes left, it's Hancock leading polesitter Bryant by five seconds as Bryant produces his personal best lap time.
Oliver Bryant just lost two seconds on that last lap, however, and Hancock seems to be lonely in the lead with five minutes left.
Oliver Bryant within 1.5s of leader Sam Hancock with eight minutes remaining, but both are being very careful around this slippery track.
Hancock makes the pass on Bryant around the outside just before he goes through Woodcote. New leader, but Bryant will chase now.
Actually the gap remains level at around 1.5s between the front pair as they skate across this soaked circuit.
A 3.5s lead opens up for Bryant after the opening lap with Sam Hancock second and James Cottingham third.
Julian Majzub is struggling and Edward Jones steals third place from him with 23 minutes remaining on the opening lap.
And here we go - the final race of 2017's Goodwood Revival begins as 28 drivers compete for the Sussex Trophy. Oliver Bryant leads.
On pole will Oliver Bryant (Lotus-Climax 15) with David Hart (Lister-Jaguar) and Julian Majzub (Sadler-Chevrolet Mk3) joining him on the front row.

Sportscars from 1955-60 such as the Jaguar D-types, Lister-Chevrolet 'knobbly', and the Maserati Tipo 61 'Birdcage' will complete in this 25-minute race.
"Time flies when you're having fun. It's so difficult because when you get close [to another car] you can't see anything. I know it was close but Andy's a tough character and he's very good. I was looking everywhere for grip," said Martin Stretton, winner of the Glover Trophy race.
"Yeah it was almost impossible in the spray. Going back through Fordwater there was a lot of standing water and you couldn't see the guys ahead. It was very, very tricky," said third placed Sam Wilson
Martin Stretton wins this Glover Trophy race by 1.2s over Andy Middlehurst. Stretton is fresh off a Masters Historic F1 victory at Zandvoort last weekend. Sam Wilson completes a Lotus 1-2-3 and Richard Attwood follows in fourth place.
Third place Sam Wilson puts in a blistering fastest lap of 1m50.860s. That's an incredible lap considering the torrid conditions.
