As I live in Chichester I often pop in to Goodwood to see if there's any track action. Popped in today and this beauty had just come off the track, I could feel the heat of the engine as it was cooling down:



I also saw, and chatted, to Jools Holland who was tracking his Jaguar E-type.

That's what I was wondering - I've added the URL for the picture, and it previews OK, but then doesn't show up once it's been submitted - any ideas anyone? (this is my first attempt to add an image!)

Unfortunately no - we just popped in for a short while and it had just come off track. Most of the cars there were classic Jaguars, and as you probably know, the number of cars on track at any time is limited. We had to go before the Porsche went back on.

Today and tomorrow should be good as its general testing for the revival so expect some exotica
I was there on Monday for a GRRC track day and there was ford falcon i think it was limited to 4000 rpm as it was only a 105db day but it sounded great

I do miss not being at Goodwood. I used to be based on Goodwood estate and would often drop by the track to view any random happenings.... there is nowhere quite like it for that.

It's certainly worth popping in - last year I did and there were 6 or 8 McLaren SLRs being tracked - it was a special Mercedes day for owners. They had the cars opened up so we could see the interior, engine, etc., and then they were let loose on the track - what a sound!
