White made a comeback about 10yrs ago, been popular ever since. A porker always looks good in white, plus it’s a free or cheap colour, hence why I’ve had three in white

I had a 997.1GT3RS until I sold it recently and Carrara White was a rather expensive option, so it isn't always the case that it is a free colour.

Not sure what this has to do with FOS mind!

I have no idea how much white costs on 911s, only know it's always been free or cheap (metallic) for Caysters.

Not sure this link will work but worth a look if it does.

Amazing, thanks for posting this. We were in the drone area today, but hadn’t seen this vid before.

How big does the 911 look!

We’re they both times runs? Why was the C1 car going so slowly?

[DaveGrohl]

Nice vid. I bet the guy flying the drone felt a bit icky by the end!!

Guess he had passed the finish line ........ and the signs said SLOW ....

I watched quite a lot of the hillclimb and I thought one of the most impressive cars was that Judd V8 powered E36. I think it ended up 3rd overall which is a hell of an achievement considering the competition: https://www.goodwood.com/grrc/event-coverage/festi...

Yes but generally you slow AFTER you cross the finish line. 965/62 was bimbling along so slowly that the RSR caught it after the start gap - which is what say 30 seconds?

Maybe it had a problem. Well it did in the end anyway. If the driver was going to do a slow demo, it must have been told that the next car would have been doing a timed run?

Felt sorry for the chap in the Cup car as the finish line at Goodwood is a totally blind crest, and he was on it!
Hopefully not too much damage done to either car.

Some impressive kit out yesterday, what a cracking day it was
