The 2012 Goodwood Revival to Mark the 50th Anniversary of the AC Cobra

The 2012 Goodwood Revival to Mark the 50th Anniversary of the AC Cobra with A Unique One-model Race

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 an exceptional one-model race.

It is expected that this one-off race will feature an extraordinary mix of historically-significant competition Cobras, including some of the special-bodied aerodynamic Cobra-based coupés. Goodwood also hope that Carroll Shelby will be able to attend the 2012 Revival in person as well, although this is yet to be confirmed.

The race promises to make for an intriguing spectacle and a fitting tribute to one of the world’s most revered, and copied, sports car which has a long association with Goodwood. An exceptional line-up of top drivers is expected to campaign the Cobras. More detailed information about this exclusive race will follow early next year.

Plant a sparkling wine vineyard here in Britain – Really?!

Vineyards have always been a common part of the countryside for our European neighbours. When a deciding which crop to plant, grape vines are probably fairly high on a landowners list of possibilities. Though reputed to have crossed our shores with the Romans, vineyards have also been a part of the UK’s rural scene, certainly since the Norman Conquest. Now, with English Wine, particularly Sparkling Wine, gaining an enviable reputation and sales worldwide, more vineyards are springing up in the UK’s countryside every year and that’s not confined to the south coast. With economic pressures on other crops, British farmers are increasingly looking at vines as a realistic new source of income.

Ben Maher ends a Roller Coaster year with a win at Olympia

Ben Maher produced a world class performance on the nine-year-old Tripple X III to win the seventh round of the Rolex FEI World Cup™ Jumping 2011/2012 series at Olympia in London. Marcus Ehning from Germany set an impossible target having won Rolex FEI World Cup™ three times. However with a British crowd behind him, Maher beat him by 0.34 seconds.
The international line-up included Ireland's Dermott Lennon who slotted into third place, ahead of America's Laura Kraut. "It's the biggest win of my career, and the perfect end to a roller-coaster year" said Maher who was thrilled to have bred and produced Tripple X III himself.

Olympia is a Challenging venue, the crowd is upbeat with Christmas excitement and displays that have been on throughout the day. The buzzy atmosphere and flash photography can place extra pressure on riders and horses when their full attention is required to tackle the testing courses.

Dorset based Australian Event Rider Sam Griffiths prepares for 2012 Event Season

In 1995, Sam Griffiths made the decision to leave his home in Australia and make a career for himself in the UK as an International Event Rider. He trained and worked as a back up rider for double Olympic gold medallist, Matt Ryan, for three years where he had the opportunity to train and compete all levels of event horses. After leaving Matt Ryan's base, Sam established his own team of horses and has since been short listed for the Athens and Beijing Olympics, finished 5th in the HSBC Classics for 2009 (a World ranking system for which points can be accumulated at the world’s four biggest three day events) and was a member of the Australian Team for the 2010 World Championships in the USA, with his top horse, Happy Times. In 2011 Sam finished 4th at Badminton 4*Horse Trials and 39th in The HSBC FEI world rankings and is currently on the Australian Elite Squad.
