The PistonHeads track tour had planned to visit just Silverstone and Rockingham this year, but a late entry to the schedule sees us paying a visit to the famous, and challenging, circuit at Goodwood on
. If you fancy a birds eye view you can see how Dan did when he
took part in a sprint
Goodwood Motor Circuit is an extraordinary place and is the only classic circuit in the world to remain entirely in its original form.
This could be you... sort of...
From 1948 to 1966 Goodwood was the social and spiritual home of British motor racing, and the circuit hosted contemporary racing of all kinds, including Formula One, the famous Goodwood Nine Hours race and the celebrated Tourist Trophy sports car race.
It was also the scene of legendary battles between some of the world’s great racing heroes of the era including McLaren, Moss, Fangio, Hill, Stewart, Surtees and Brabham. Now the pinnacle of Goodwood's long history will take place on 16th April as 25 PHers take to the circuit to show how it’s really done (you sure that's right, Garlick? Ed).
Goodwood instructors will be on hand to get the best out of you and your car, and each day begins with a signing-on session, then a full safety briefing followed by noise testing of your vehicle
Want some insider information before making your mind up? Let Sir Stirling Moss give you a few tips on how to get the most from this circuit:
Sir Stirling knows his way around...
Light braking into double apex corner
Turn-in critical –flat out if you are good enough
Light braking and across to left on exit
Immediately over to right as much as possible, probably only half way, but grab 3rd gear
Get as far left as possible
Allow car to power-slide across road under full power
4th gear and use all of road under full power
Peak revs in top straight lining kink
Into 4th whilst braking hard
3rd and dip into apex from left and powerslide across road
Right along the edge here, but don't lift!
2nd gear, right and left, shaving wall on left
4th gear and flat out, over to left
