Let's Be 'Avin' You

Goodwood is renowned for doing things a bit differently and the 2013 Press Dinner was no exception. Guests were treated to a surprise re-enactment of a scene from the Great Train Robbery of 1963. Why you ask...? This year marks 50 years since the hijack of the London-bound train and Roy John James -- nicknamed "The Weasel" -- who took part in the infamous robbery had been practising at Goodwood Motor Circuit the week before. Labelled a 'man to watch' in motor racing circles, Roy failed to turn up and take part in the race as he had heard that the Police were due to arrest him at the circuit, therefore making his escape. You know how we love a great story at Goodwood.

No guests were harmed in the making of this video. SUBSCRIBE here - http://bit.ly/GoodwoodTV
