'It's the Goodwood Festival Of Speed'. It doesn't really need any more than that.





Oh, alright then http://www.goodwood.co.uk/festival-of-speed/welcome.aspx

Not everybody here is from the UK.

Looking forward to seeing the Focus rs500. I am a lover of the 'Ford RS' especially the ford sierra rs500.

Focus RS is yet another 'trout mouth' car that seem to be everywhere at the moment. Those horrible shaped grills on the front that look like a fish's mouth.

You'll be very unlikely to see anything exciting at the FoS. I've been twice. I won't bother for another decade (and only then to see if it has changed).

It's a nice day out, but as nobody is really up for smashing millions of £s worth of cars up everyone tiptoes around the course.

It's an interesting motorsport related event but if you only want to see racing action, skip it and stick with the Goodwood Revival instead.

horses for courses tris, not been to goodwood but at it's northern equivilent (almost a sister event given how much the 2 lords work together) the chomondley pageant of power i'm quite happy just walking round taking the oportunity to have a real good close look at the cars and talking to the mechanics / drivers. in the last 2 years i've had a nice long chat with dereck bell and the driver of the XJ13 plus had a chance to have a nose under the body work of a lot of great cars. seems strange but i found the 1978 williams more scary than some 60's F1 cars just becasue everything round the cockpit sides above the driver's waist was just fibreglass, totally illogical but a thin metal skin seems safer, especially when you look at the williams witht he bodywork off.

actually the XJ13 driver made a good point about goodwood becoming too big and organised and how cholmondley is still at the early "fun" stage. also from my point of view, apart from the distance factor, cholmondley has the advantage of other attractions which keeps my son amused, especially the tanks (also if you're into bentleys they come out of the woodwork there )

anyway if anyones up north, here's the web site

That looks really interesting, thanks. Sadly I've got a friend visiting that weekend and that's probably a bit far to drag him. It's not up north enough!

The CPOP is only a short drive from me, I might have to have look, thanks!

unless your name is John Cleland then you put the classic 95 BTCC Cavelier in the hay bails i think something else that proves no one really goes for it up the hill is the fact that a BTCC car last year was just as quick up there as an F1 car
