Photos from a Supercar Track Day 1996ish
Discussion
About to move house and found a few old pictures some here might like?
These are from a track day in the mid-to-late 90s, possibly 1996, that I *think* may have been referred to as "Supercar Sunday" (long before the Brekkie Club). Pretty sure it was on the August Bank Holiday Sunday of whichever year.
The highlight for me, amongst the glorious array of Countach and Diablos, was the two Venturi 400s. I had (and still have) a serious love of these cars and would love to know if they're still in the UK?
I do recall chatter amongst those of us hanging around the (gravel!) paddock of the "bloke and his wife" who turned up in a Venturi and a purple Diablo respectively... having seen the numberplates in my photos below, I'm guessing that would be Mr. Saywell? Anyone know if he still has the Venturi?
Anyway, the "lunch time line-up"...
The Goodwood pits looked a little different back then!
One of two Venturis on track that day...
A cool story bro'...
I spent a long time chatting to the driver of this car, who had clearly driven (and raced them) a fair bit. I'm pretty sure he was sharing some tips with Mr.Saywell and have a vague recollection that he looked a bit like Jeff Goldblum - any idea who he was?
AOG plates...
Lovely Lambos...
Anyways, just thought I'd post them up; be interested to hear if anyone else was there that day - or remembers these "Supercar Sundays".
