lads, can anyone help me please? I'm trying to verify a little info on Pete Arundell in one of the Lotus Cortinas, I'm told it was 1966 at Goodwood. I'm told that he had an accident and rolled the car but managed to get it back to the pits. He was then told by Chapman to go back out in the car as it was still running, which he did, for one lap only, as he now had an oil leak, he then retired the car. Can anyone confirm the race and date at all. Many thanks in advance!
Pete Arundell Lotus Cortina query.

News to me. Jack Brabham rolled Alan Brown's Ford Galaxie during Easter Monday meeting practice one year, but I don't recall Pete rolling a works Lotus-Cortina. Given my profound interest in saloon car racing (ahem) that's not to say it didn't happen...

Unless I have it all wrong...
Peter Darley may remember something about it if it did happen.

I have no recollection of Peter A. rolling his Lotus Cortina at Goodwood - if he had done I would have photographed it ! ACBC liked to have proof of his drivers errors.

Maybe this one at Oulton Park? Although he did finish...
