AC Ace's Tire Says 'See Ya!' During a Live Race
Classic car enthusiasts have descended upon the usually quiet town of Chichester, UK for the annual Goodwood Revival.
The Goodwood Revival is an annual, weekend-long vintage motorsports bash. The event, held at the Goodwood Circuit, plays host to a number of different vintage races over the course of the weekend. These include vintage touring car, open wheel and motorcycle races and even a pedal car race for the youngsters in attendance.
These various races are always jam-packed with action and so far this year, the Revival is just as exciting as it has been in the past.

During the Freddie March Memorial Trophy on Friday, which is reserved for 1950s era race cars, an AC Ace Bristol had a bit of a moment when one of its wheels came loose. The driver continued onward, likely not fully aware of just how badly the Ace’s suspension had failed, before the wheel came off entirely and went bouncing into the infield. It’s always a scary moment when a race car loses a wheel on a live track, but thankfully no one was hurt in this incident.
