A question about Goodwood Revival

[Wolfman 1]

I was bidding on a 107E for my daughters first car on Ebay, I put in a stupidly high bid to make sure we won it, but we were still out bid. The buyer has bought it to make it into a no holes barred race car for the Goodwood Revival in September, shame as it was a mint, original one. My question is I thought that racing at Goodwood had to be period prepared race cars!! It sounds like this one is going to be full modern race gear which I would have thought would be defeating the object a bit? Does anyone know how they should be prepared for this kind of racing? The good news it will be for sale after the event, the bad news for a first time buyer is it will have a 40K plus price tag!!! Does any one know.

It possibly depends on which class it`s being run in.
According to the below, some saloon classes only have to look period...
"For the uninitiated, FIA Appendix K regulations dictate that a car is built as it was in period - in this case pre 1966. There are various race series for FIA cars in Britain and Europe, such as the Top Hat series. The Goodwood Revival meeting also favours cars that at least look (until - in the case the Anglias - you open the bonnet to find a bunch of Webers) like FIA cars. In some UK race series FIA cars run in their own class - alongside much more highly modified cars. So they get their doors blown off... But are much "nicer" cars... Other cars running in Appendix K include Mini Coopers, Lotus Cortinas & Ford Galaxies and Mustangs!"

It's easy to spend £12K building a race prepped 997cc for them as well, especially if they are going the downdraught head route. I can see another £10K on period running gear parts.
