Would the stabilisers fit a V8V?
The Virage is a very very fast and capable car car driven by a very very slow driver But I am getting (a bit) faster!
To any who haven't been, but thinking of coming - it's as leisurely and pleasurable a day out as you could wish. Or it's quick!
But it's all your choice. Plus there is no hanky panky on the track...very civilised. Except for the Audi. And the Cobras. Or the DBRs. Or the Vantages with the rude but very nice exhausts.
Just really nice.

I sold the track car to upgrade to the Rapide. Arghhh! Sounds like a jolly gentleman's outing for a two ton super GT?!
I think you would shock a few people, and yourself, with just how quickly a Rapide can get around Goodwood! Along with Philip Island, Goodwood suits the Rapide perfectly....Dewi 1 said:
With your factory connections Mr. roughrider, are you able to tell us, why there will be no AM On-Track events this year. I was hoping to drive the Spa-Francorchamps circuit.
Possibly the reason might be spelt - 'm o n e y'.
I wish i knew, as i've been asked quite a few times now. I don't think its a financial issue, as i believe the track days paid for themselves. Seems Bob is doing an admirable job of filling the void though! How about Spa next year Bob? Track hire is less than you would expect.........Possibly the reason might be spelt - 'm o n e y'.

I am more than willing to organise the Track Days Paul,,Spa would be on my list for sure. Back to the here and now, the take up for Goodwood hasn't yet 'taken off' as I thought it might, we'll see how it goes over the next couple of weeks. In my limited experience (3 Track Days) £350 per car is at the upper limit for most private guys here on the forum. The more popular the circuit, the fewer days available and the more expensive they are, plus, we do need 105db which isn't easy to find. Patience and good humour will win the day.Y100 said:

This wouldn't be appropriate for my Aston, although I did have a couple of hours on track at Monza a few years ago Regards price; the TVR people do Goodwood 105db for £250/day, 20 cars, else I'd have been tempted to bring the Griff along. RichB said:

No idea when the TVR boys hold their day but I do know the rates get cheaper during the winter months,,,short cold days, not very appealing. Hope you'll join us RichB. Gassing Station | Aston Martin | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
