Hill revs up dad's 'Old Faithful' at Goodwood

It's a timely birthday for Damon Hill this year as the 1996 F1 world champion turns 62 on a weekend when the Goodwood Revival event celebrates 60 years since his legendary father's first F1 world title.

A special parade at Goodwood dedicated to the late Graham Hill brings together over 40 cars raced by the two-time F1 world champion, and the only man to win motorsport's Triple Crown, during his outstanding career.

And at the head of the historic cortege, steered by Damon, is his father's 1962 BRM P578, otherwise affectionately known as 'Old Faithful'.

The championship winning car earned its nickname from being one of the highest mileage machines in Grand Prix history as it competed in F1 for four years consecutively.

Phillip van Osten

Motor racing was a backdrop from the outset in Phillip van Osten's life. Born in Southern California, Phillip grew up with the sights and sounds of fast cars thanks to his father, Dick van Osten, an editor and writer for Auto Speed and Sport and Motor Trend. Phillip's passion for racing grew even more when his family moved to Europe and he became acquainted with the extraordinary world of Grand Prix racing. He was an early contributor to the monthly French F1i Magazine, often providing a historic or business perspective on Formula 1's affairs. In 2012, he co-authored along with fellow journalist Pierre Van Vliet the English-language adaptation of a limited edition book devoted to the great Belgian driver Jacky Ickx. He also authored "The American Legacy in Formula 1", a book which recounts the trials and tribulations of American drivers in Grand Prix racing. Phillip is also a commentator for Belgian broadcaster Be.TV for the US Indycar series.
