Goodwood Festival Of Speed

[ZX-7R]

Its being streamed live on youtube on their official channel if you are interested.

Had a nice tribute to John Surtees earlier with some of his old bikes and cars out doing laps.

Some really important historical vehicles there with some old racers from the racing scene driving/riding them.

It was a great show and fantastic to see all the cars out on the hill, even if some were nannied a little. I did three days and still didnt see it all.

The first time I went was last year and for the last 11 years I have lived within 20 miles of it

Was always something I wanted to do when I was growing up as a petrol head Up't North.

I went on Sunday, the day was fantastic and there is so much to see and do. I'd recommend going to anyone.

Probably ok to watch on telly box or streaming but i don't think I would want to go. Lots of posers and boring twunts telling you crap about cars they could never afford to own themselves.

If it was a new car show filled with shiney tat I wouldnt be arsed either, but watching the pre war race cars go up the hillclimb and poking around 70s F1 cars up close or standing in the forest watching group B cars coming through is an experience you wont find in many other places.

Who cares if you can afford one, as cool as they are to see I dont desire or require to own one!

It's not like sitting in the back row at a Bonhams auction

The ITV4 show wasn't a good impression of Goodwood at all. Too much corporate sales stuff and not enough of the old boys and their pride and joy classics, or the motor racing stars just feet away. I've been 2 or 3 times though it's a fair trek for a day and there's never enough time to see it all. The Festival of Speed and the Revival are both excellent. I saw the Red Bull F1 car there a few years ago and the details, the carbon, the aerodynamic flourishes close up are fascinating.
