The last Curbs issue of the year is here, with reports on events, vehicles and personalities from the classic car world.
Goodwood Revival
Back to the romantic days of racing, the Goodwood Revival took the public on a journey through time from September 9 to 11. Vehicles and clothing from the old days were on display in the south of England - what a spectacle.
Nordzee Cup Zandvoort
Old cars, roaring engines, a good atmosphere... This is what a classic car race should look like. But what if suddenly a noise limit has to be observed? This is exactly what put a spoke in the wheel of many participants in the Zandvoort Cup from September 9 to 11, because it was not allowed to be louder than 92 decibels.

Alfa Romeo Montreal Group 4
An absolute rarity with a three-liter V8 engine from the Alfa Romeo racing prototype Timo 33/3 was in front of the camera at Curbs. The Alfa Romeo Montreal Group 4 from 1971 also repeatedly showed impressive laps in historic racing events.
A portrait of Richie Ginther
Although Richie Ginther got his driver's license at the age of 16, his professional life was initially dominated by airplanes. But when he got to know Phil Hill and the motorsport scene, he was so enthusiastic that he switched to vehicles.
Three-liter Formula 1 1966
The Formula 1 regulations that allowed the engine capacity to be doubled to three liters existed for 21 years. However, the 3-liter engines didn't really want to work for the British - at least not at the beginning...
