Free entry, Jaguar, Prodrive and a few other companies are racing electric cars round the good wood circuit for 4 hours.

I'm racing, if anybody fanices it, starts by about 12, finshes for 17.30 (awards ceremony)

Been racing them since I was 11 so... come along. I'm racing for "Electroad" should be a good day.

Used to race for a school team, won the finals in 2007, podium finishes in 2006 and 2005.

Goodwood motor Circuit, Free Entry, Good Day. Cra5h is Racing. Sunday 26th. What more could you want?

Peace Out.

I'd rather be at Thruxton, watching the BTCC punching holes in the ozone layer than at Goodwood watching some invalid carriages hugging trees, if I'm honest.

OK they don't make lots of noise but these are far from invalid carriages Bently took part last year with an £80,000 carbon fibre project and got beaten hands down by many of the schools machines. I'm up for taking part too. I've done it before it was great fun, it's all about encouraging the kids to become engineers and it's a superb scheme. It;s your chance to take them on and I can assure you you'll have one hell of a battle to beat them. I'll be there one way or another that's for sure.

Yes Dan, it's definatly wrong... Go and google some V8's or something to realign your mind set smile

Sounds like a good idea, will be looking at Porsches which is more important but good luck, hope it goes well!

Have to say that I'm at the BTCC as well. I'm at Goodwood on the Saturday for Sprint though.

I built a car for this back in about 2001 or 2002 as my final year assignment in sixth form. I completed the event too I think!

Some people have no grace. A simple no would suffice without putting the guys efforts down.
