I've just got back from the Goodwood Festival of speed. It is stonkingly expensive but boy was it worth it. The air reeked of Methanol and burnt rubber, supercars in abundance, F1's did the hill-climb too and by that I men from the 1960's-today. Loads of vintage racers, funny cars and a full orchestra of piston music.
Give me a while and I will pst some pics.
Ian
Watched a fair bit of it on tv and it did look like a damned good day or two out. Look forward to your pics Ian.
I bet this crossed your mind... "I wonder how fast my car could go up the hill??" I know it did mine!
Tbh the speed some of the kits in this club do on track, I think they would not disgrace themselves at all against some of the very expensive exotica at Goodwood.
Does anyone here know Lord March?? I know it's a bit of a snobby event but come on mate....er I mean your Lordship, please let us bring some kits next year!!
I think that Ian and the Complete Kit Car Mag had a pitch last year.
Can't wait to see the pictures mate. I would love to do that weekend mate. :)
Up the hill they had:
Fast
Very Fast
Very very Fast
F1 and
F Me!!!
Would love to go there one year. :P
