10 modernclassics

The scene

M-B 190E Evo II DTM

This Mercedes-Benz 190E DTM

was campaigned by Zakspeed

in the 1991 DTM championship.

Michael Schumacher piloted the

car at the Norisring, finishing

25th thanks largely to a 50kg

weight penalty for rookies. The

next race at Diepholz initially

went better; he finished 5th in

qualifying but later had to retire

from the main race due to

engine problems.

DeTomaso Pantera SI

DeTomaso unveiled a new car this

year, but we were taken with this

last-of-the-line Pantera, which

was restyled by Marcello Gandini

for a final flourish in 1990.

Singer 911 & VW ID: R

Singer brought three cars, including

this 'Sussex' commission, getting

squirrelly. Below is the VW ID: R,

which broke the official record up

the hill on the wrong day, so Nick

Heidfeld's official record still stands.

likes of the 1989 Spa 24 Hours-winning Ford

Sierra RS500 and 1996 Alfa Romeo 155 Ti

V6 scream up the hillclimb. Elsewhere,

visitors could get up close to the TR Speed

12 Turbo, a reimagining of the TVR Speed 12.

A great event, and well worth getting a

soaking for on the Sunday. goodwood.com
