This week"s coolest racing car is currently strapped to a giant metal spike, about 20 metres above the ground, and centre-stage outside Goodwood House in the latest of artist Gerry Judah"s spectacular sculptures. Along with a 1940 328 MM roadster and the glorious LMR V12 that won Le Mans in 1999, the Brabham BT52 is one of three BMWs chosen to celebrate the company"s centenary at the 2016 Goodwood Festival of Speed. It"s a highly symbolic indication of where it sits in a 100-year pantheon that"s not exactly short of high points.
