My Goodwood Festival of Speed 2006 Visit

G.T · Jul 8, 2006

Well, guys, Id have to say this year is better than the last. Many more cars I liked were there, and I managed to take pictures of them, and more. I managed to take 350+ and decided to share some of the best ones with you.

Older Road/Concept Cars:

Bikes:

And the other stuff…

Here, a dyno test was being done on a Porsche GT3 with normal fuel, then with the new 102 Octane Ultimate fuel from BP. There’s quite a difference!

Cars made of sand:

Some blinged Range Rover…:

And a campervan……:

Nissan Silvia D1 Drift Car:

This is a PINK Nissan Micra. What caught my attention was these guys were sitting in it! I HAD to get them on camera:

Some bike/car thing that was featured on Top Gear a few years ago. I overheard one of the staff say that this can tilt from 0 to 45 degrees in half a second!

Here, you could go on a ride in a Land Rover over a small obstacle course. It didn’t look that thrilling at first, but some of the angles the cars climb are pretty steep. Once, a car fell off the ramp – it was funny: :lol:

A Ferrari FXX! In Blue and White?

Can anyone tell me what this car is?

Here are the videos I took:

- this contains almost all the supercars taking off at the startline, along with some of the Wacky Racer's cars :lol:

. It was raining, so some has serious traction issues! I missed the Zonda and a few others though, as at the time I was getting my camera ready...

- this is one of the Renault F1 cars revving. After this, they played the French(I think) anthem with the engine! I didn't know they were going to do this, so I never had the camera out to film it. I was lucky to get to the front of the crowd too - I looked behind and there were several rows of people trying to look over me.

Well, that’s it! There were many more in the car park too, but I was too worn out to take any of them. It’s just a shame I never saw the McLaren F1, Jaguar XJ220 etc this year. I’m not sure if they were even there or not.

If you'd like a full sized picture or any editing done to any cars above, please PM me and I'll give you what you need.

Enjoy!

Errr, read the numberplate. It'll be a Lobini H1.

Great pictures. 👍

Kylehnat · Jul 8, 2006

You are one lucky SOB

👍

G.T · Jul 8, 2006

Ah, thanks daan. 👍

I thought the plate was obsurd, so I didn't think that was the name of the car.

Cosmic · Jul 8, 2006

Nice pictures 👍
I just simply love the Renault Sport, that thing is :drool:

Nice photos, but it is a pain when people get in the way.

He is not the only one who went too it.

Do i detect a hint of jealousy?

daan · Jul 8, 2006

Lets keep on topic guys. We're discussing GT's photos here. Not who went to the FOS.

That'll be the Carver

Great pics, thanks 👍

Pink_the_Floyd · Jul 9, 2006

Dear James, I hate you.

I hate him even more because I mean I actually had a chance to go.

Fully sick pictures James!

Gen. · Jul 9, 2006

That pink Micra > all.

And Brett you suck. You could have provided more pictures. Also I hate James too.

ozyran · Jul 9, 2006

Awesome shots! Those should be posted up as avatars for the site; they'd be fully well worth it. Thanks for sharing them!

G.T · Jul 9, 2006

Thanks a bunch, guys!

There were a few there actualy, but I never got to see them close up. I would have taken some photos otherwise.

Poverty · Jul 9, 2006

so which car would you say was the most beautiful of the lot?

G.T · Jul 9, 2006

There are so many cars there I really don't know. I keep moving back to that Zonda F though, it really looks nice in Orange.

GM · Jul 9, 2006

Very nice pictures, I wish I was there

Roo · Jul 9, 2006

Nice pictures! Whereabouts was that black Range Rover? I missed it.

G.T
Its just a shame I never saw the McLaren F1, Jaguar XJ220 etc this year. Im not sure if they were even there or not.

The XJ220 was there, but it was in disguise...

I'll let you try and work out which body it was in. It's in the programme, if you got one. Clue: it was in Class 9.

It was around where them campervans were, scattered around the dealerships somewhere. It was so large there I can't pin-point the location.

No programme. The clue does nothing for me. :lol:

ExigeEvan · Jul 10, 2006

Well done James, some great pics and vids 👍

But how much memory did you go through!?

Pebb · Jul 10, 2006

G.T how many Batteries did you go through, may I ask?

G.T · Jul 10, 2006

About 1GB of photos I think. On my camera, it must have been about 100mbs of video.

Edit:

TVR&Ferrari_Fan
G.T how many Batteries did you go through, may I ask?

2 sets of 4 on the main camera.

Roo · Jul 10, 2006

No, really. It's got the engine, gearbox and suspension from an XJ220.

Justin Law did timed runs up the hill in it - fastest was about 63 seconds, I think, and it crossed the finish line at 92mph.

Edit: from the programme:

lmao, that's a fantastic Transit :lol:
