Legend: Jackie Stewart tribute at Goodwood Revival 2014

Legend_ Jackie Stewart tribute at Goodwood Revival 2014 - His career in one video... Heading the tribute parade on the circuit was Sir Jackie in the Tyrrell Cosworth 006, the car in which he won his third and final title in 1973 – before retiring from F1 after competing in 99 grands prix. It was 50 years ago this year that the three-times F1 world champion first drove a single-seater here at Goodwood, leading to an F3 contract with Tyrrell. Sir Jackie’s first single-seater from that debut Goodwood test, the Cooper-BMW T72, was part of the parade, driven on the Saturday by Jackie’s son Mark Stewart. ‘It’s an enormous privilege for me to drive my father’s Cooper,’ Mark told us just before the parade hit the track. ‘I think he won 11 out of 15 F3 races in it in his first season. It’s an important car. I am looking forward to driving it for the first time. It’s a big day for the Stewart family, specially with Mark (Webber) here and my brother Paul as well.’
