Carrera Sport days at Goodwood in the 80s
Discussion
was going through some of my old photos last night and i found these ones taken at Goodwood at one of the popular Carrera Sport days taken when i was 8-9 years old, was just wondering if anyone remembers these cars, knows of them or even has some pics from those great days? I remember somebody lending a guy his Diablo and he stuffed it into the tyres, the heated conversation afterwards was most enjoyable.
so i thought id share these with PH, excuse the poor quality!

I've got loads of similar photos taken at Castle Combe when The De Tomaso Drivers club and the Lamborghini club used to hold a Supercar Test Day, again, late '80s. If anybody's interested, I'll post some photos?

more pics the merrier, i think with the age of digi photography a lot of great old stuff is getting forgotten

maybe thats what i witnessed, i was young but i remember some heated debate, also remember that things used to get a bit out of hand if it was a nice hot day people skipping the queues etc, it had a really great atmosphere.

love these pics, more pls 
I have got hundreds of them. I will have to dig them out and scan them.
Some of the regulars included Vick Sawyer, Barry Martina (Heathmans), Ray Beverley (owned LAM 130 on a Muira SV), Stephen Keen (Muira SV), Huw Dundas (Muira SV & Testa Rossa), Peter Saywell (AOG numbers), plus many of the first F40s, F50s, Diablos etc.
Always remember that pink Countach (LAM 207) and a white one registered 18 5EXY. Pictures on my website, if you have a few hours spare!
Fond memories.
where can i find your pics 360BOY?

Click on the Car pics pages. At last count there were some 45 pages, so put aside a few hours and lots of coffee.

cheers, ah yes i remember a lot of those plates from when i was working at gumball! good work
the housing estate built in the 70s was the cause of all the problems with sound> aged about 10 i wrote to the local paper saying don't move next to an airfield and race track if you dont like the noise!
I think the marshalls used to stop people going in if it got over crowded, i think mike tried to charge for a few then it was decded that a charity collection would be better, i think the Venturis made an appearance at the later ones too, always like the camo one!
can someone talk him into doing another one for old times sake! although the track doesnt have the charm it did when it was run down (its a better place now though!)
i used to be allowed to go there in the evening and drive my formula 6 sized childs racing car round until sunset, happy days
