Goodwood Festival of Speed Gallery

Chaps,

Just a few shots from Goodwood over the weekend. If you want to see anything more or if there’s anything else of interest then shout out as I have shots of virtually everything. Can’t guarantee they’ll be in focus or anything, mind…

Andy


The rally stage was dusty but fantastic.

Chris Evans’ Magnificent Seven.

My mate Lewis gives me a wave. Obviously remembers all those awesome driving tips I gave him in Canada. Or something…

Johnny Lightning Special was monickered so after a brand of toy cars. Won 1970 Indy 500.

Kris Meeke in lastest MINI (oxymoron?) WRC.

Ken Block is Goodwood’s new hero.

Dan Collins in the Type 88 on his way to winning the Top 20 run-off.

Martin Donnelly reunited with Type 102 of the kind in which he suffered that awful 1990 practice shunt at Jerez.

Men have a leap about on some motorcycles. Obviously completely mental.

New Alfa Romeo 4C. I want one very badly indeed.

Lotus stand was very white. Don’t think they enjoyed riff raff like me making the place look untidy.

Startline burn-outs an absolute pre-requisite. Emmo showed the phenomenal power of the Illmor pushrod engine in Penske PC23.

Red Arrows do their bit for the environment.

Glorious reminders of Indianapolis 500’s centenary. Chapparal 2K my absolute favourite.

Motorcyclists traversed the hill with varying degree of success. The man having a skid has just dismounted his self-built helicopter engined 230mph death-trap at some speed…

Guy Wilks spectacular everywhere in his IRC S2000 Peugeot.

Various wonderful Formula One cars in action.

The only Audi R18 left in the world after Le Mans. Fortunately it took victory.

50 years of the E-Type and 60 years since first LM24 win celebrated in fine style. Long-tail C-Type recreation and only surviving low-drag E-type were highlights.

GT5 Red Bull mock-up. Imagine Vettel on a qualifying lap through the Becketts/Maggotts complex in it…

Lotus Type 96T stillborn Indycar.

Chris Evans’ subline 250GTO.

Jonathan Leggard annoyed Adrian Newey for a few minutes.

Dario Franchitti piloted Type 38, sister to Jim Clark’s 1965 Indy winner. Lord March took a bow in the Type 56 gas turbine car which came within a whisker of victory.

2011 Indy 500 winner Dan Wheldon in that lovely 2K once again.

Man jumps onto motorcycle.

very nice photos…thanks!!

Great pics :slight_smile:

Big thanks totally brill :sunglasses:

My favourite:

Chavtastic :smiley:

Come to think of it, where you also Nigel’s navigator? :astonished:

No worries, guys - always a pleasure. I was going to start a separate thread for that shot of you Pesky. Thought you deserved your moment in the sun!

Great photos Andy. I love the Lotus 96 - it’s such a brute and such a pity it never ran in anger (I think I’m right in saying)

Thanks, Mike. I had never seen the 96 in the flesh before but it’s lovely! I suppose with turbo technology and the number of road/street tracks they were running in Indy at that time, there was probably a reasonable degree of meaningful technology share between F1 and IndyCar. It must have been within the same year or two that Ferrari also produced their own IndyCar. Perhaps you can recall the dates? It’s a fairly mouth-watering prospect the top two dogs from F1 heading over to dice in the States.

If only…

Great photos - any of the Bowler Nemesis?

I got a couple, Steve. How about this one for starters? Bit of dust being kicked up in the braking zone for Molecomb corner.

Nice - really want to see one moving in the flesh but looking at photos is a good second, thanks

They’re quite something the see moving so quickly! Seems slightly bizarre initially.

I took these at last year’s event too, Steve. Bit more Bowler worship.

Excellent - would love a drive in one.

Even Pistonheads have a thing for them:

those wheels are filling the arches and quite impressed at how relatively flat it is taking that corner.
