Video: 2024 S.F. Edge Trophy highlights | 81MM
The S.F. Edge Trophy is by far the weirdest and arguably most wonderful race at the 81st Members’ Meeting presented by Audrain Motorsport. It’s certainly not the fastest but there’s no two ways about it, it is absolutely crackers. Good job then, there are two races so we can maximise the madness.
2024 S.F. Edge highlights
The S.F. Edge Trophy Part 1 set us off to a fine start, as the Beast of Turin joined the barmy Darracq 200hp, along with the Peugeot Indianapolis, Mercedes 120hp and many more for a clattering blusterous battle.
Mark Walker would've hoping to make more of an impression with his Darracq having lost out at the start, but back markers late into the race stopped him from making a last-hurrah lunge. That left Goodwood favourite Julian Majzub to take victory in the Sunbeam ‘Indianapolis’.
S.F. Edge Trophy Part 2 was another chapter in the saga between Julian Majzub and Mark Walker. The man atop the Darracq had a busy start as he sought to overcome the challengers between him and his main rival Majzub.
After several laps following in the trails of Duncan Pittaway in the booming Fiat S76, he finally made the overtake and set about closing the eight-second gap to the Sunbeam. His efforts were not in vain, and he stormed through to take victory.
2024 S.F. Edge Trophy Official Practice
The S.F. Edge Trophy practice had provided some of the most visually spectacular sessions so far of the Goodwood Members’ Meeting presented by Audrain Motorsport. A regular on the timetable since its inaugural running at the 74th Members Meeting, it brings together a grid of Edwardian cars, GN specials and early machines in the spirit of the early Brooklands races before 1923.
The practice session for 2024 S.F. Edge Trophy gave us the first chance to see the variety of machinery from the Edwardian era. The oldest car on the grid is the 1905 Darracq 200 HP. Bereft of bodywork, it allows spectactors to see the all the mechanical workings of the car as it circulates Goodwood. It also affords a clear view of Mark Walker busily keeping the skinny tyres pointing the right way, and occassionally manually pumping fuel to keep it running.
His efforts were enough to claim third position on the grid, with just the 1911 K-R-I-T Racer of Neil Gough and the 1916 Sunbeam Indianopilis of Julian Majzub ahead of him. Majzub just missed out on race victory last year, so his pole position is a step in the right direction to rectify that this year.
