The Sheer Amount of MG Carnage in This Race Is Unrivaled

The Goodwood Revival is one of the great annual racing weekends in the world. Hundreds of vintage sports cars and motorsports icons come together every fall to battle it out in various different races on the famed Goodwood Circuit, with all of the rubbing and bumping that one might hope to see from proper wheel-to-wheel racing. Thanks to Goodwood's own YouTube channel, we now have a chance to relive the 2022 Lavant Cup. If you’re an MG fan, you might want to click away now.

The original Lavant Cup was held at Goodwood between 1949 and 1966, and was home to everything from Formula 2s to full-blown sports car racing during its tenure. The name has been revived for the annual gathering, and for 2022 was dedicated to the MG MGB. Over 500,000 MGBs were built between 1962 and 1980, making it one of the most popular roadsters in the world. The MGB was also successfully campaigned in a variety of series during its production tenure, perhaps most notably taking home a class victory at the 1967 running of the Sebring. Not so bad for a car making little more than 100 hp on a good day. Getting a chance to see a whole grid's worth of these things lined up is already an exciting proposition, but this year’s event featured a bit more drama than one might expect. More specifically, the event was home to more MGB-related carnage than ever before seen on the web.
