  Touring car aces Huff and Soper to do battle in Capris at Goodwood 8 Jan 2015 (News)
  Racers Steve Soper and Rob Huff will both contest the Gerry Marshall Trophy at the 73rd Members’ Meeting in Group 1 Ford Capris. Huff will take to the grid in the Bastos-liveried 3.0S that belongs to his friend Richard Meins. At the Revival , Huff and Meins took a Jaguar E-type to fifth place in the Graham Hill Trophy for 1960s GT cars.  Soper will take a seat in the ex-Gordon Spice 3.0S that its entrant John Young and Emanuele Pirro took to second place in 2014.  Huff, a Festival of Speed and Revival regular, was due to race at the 72nd Members’ Meeting, but commitments in testing for Lada Sport meant that he couldn’t make it.
