A great day! I got soaked and froze my extremities off. All credit to my lovely friend Rachael, who works for GRRC and managed to sell a few programmes and keep her chin up in the freezing cold. Good work guys! I will enter next year, time for the Seven to come out of his winter hibernation

Nice driving, I imagine Goodwood is a tricky circuit in those conditions. I've only ever driven it dry or drying.
All of which reminds me - that kink at 1m24s on the Lavant 'straight' used to be flat at 120+mph in 5th in the dry in the old TVR warhorse but it would momentarily break traction.

I had opposite lock at 100+ mph on the Lavant straight kink in poring rain last autumn. I had so little traction but it was so much fun. Very few people turned up; it was an open pit lane test. I ran out of puff, I was shattered. T

Nice video, looks like you had a good day out. Nice pictures iva cosworth. That Aston looks like it's changing to white as it's driving along.

Thats the guy. Car 60. He came at the 2nd to last corner at frightenening speed and at about 30' for well over 2-300ft. He made it look easy.

Slightly OT, but this is one of my favourite pics, I took this at the first corner at the FoS back in 08:  Sideways Jaguar Mk1 by david_b, on Flickr

Sc4589-a pleasure. Hanks for the photos. There were a few moments when the interior smelled of poo rather than new as you remarked. If only for the traction control of the lotus I'd have beaten Dan :-) , but, a pleasing result in a car I have owned for about 5 mins. Nice that some spectators braved the weather. After all, none of the entrants wimped out and we were paying for the privilege!

Cheers again for letting me poke around, loved that 996- a truly stunning example. Couple more photos...
