Gallery: Track testing a Group A Rover SD1 – behind the scenes

28th February 2017
Ben Miles

We're loathed to pick favourites at GRR, but it's safe to say from the look on his face that our chief track tester, Andrew Jordan, was able to easily pick a favourite of the Group A cars he drove recently – it was love at first drive with the Rover SD1.

Nigel Garrett very kindly brought his SD1 along for Andrew to sample alongside the other Group A machinery we gathered for a very special private track day at Goodwood. It arrived with no fanfare, riding on the back of an open trailer, before starting frist time on the button and lapping happily for the rest of the day. It was a real favourite of all in attendance.

You can watch Andrew driving that car here, and ride along with him in our awesome visor-cam footage. And you'll be able to see it and an incredible selection of other Group A touring cars at the 75th Members' Meeting next month.

Missed out on tickets for 75MM? You can catch all the action on our awesome live stream here!
