Goodwood FoS previous winners

[ArcherIDN]

Thanks for the list! As a Goodwood fan I love to seeing this. I think at this point GRRC should pull out all their archive (Or even at least for Fellowship)

And as I stated the reason for Olly Clark and Gobstopper II not to be invited because well simply they just afraid if he is winning again and makes it boring... I heard it from Goodwood staff themselves. And sadly I think it's a shame.

they could have invited more time attack cars or any hillclimbs.... But I don't think they want it... I mean do you guys realize why TG refuse to acknowledge Caparo T1 simply because they are afraid if the record time wouldn't get beaten. They want it to be a competitions.

I still believe it’s variety not because they are scared he will win but because it will be boring if the same guy car wins year after year.

Likewise why have a hillclimb class? It’s such a niche market of motorsport that I bet very few people will know the cars and drivers. They need international motorsports to bring in the crowds.

Rather like the Star in a Reasonably Priced Car. They never showed a full lap in real time so you could check the actual times but the record was consistently "broken".

Yeah for that reason. I mean basically they don't want another repeat and there is a huge chance that he will win again. Especially I heard that Gobstopper II recieved another upgrade this year.

I think the demands back to the viewer again. Like the BTCC the Goodwood guy I chatted to admit that international audience didn't like it and that's why the canned it.

But given to see guest on FoS... Is it me or current race car drivers aren't attending that much as compare to last years?

1995 - Jonathan Palmer, Williams FW08B, 46.06s - this was the six wheeler (four at the rear), those early years were all about Palmer vs Brundle. Then McLaren started letting Heidfeld have a run in the previous seasons F1 car, he was awasome in 95 & 96 but never got a dry run, it was clear he was going to take the record if he did. Looked like it could be more of the same in 1999 but the track dried out by Sunday afternoon and he set a time which I was convinced would never be beaten. I'm pretty sure that was the last year the F1 teams ran timing struts.

I never thought that Heidfeld's record would be broken but I expect that one of these electric racers will do it - perhaps even next year. I think they need to get a couple of Formula E cars at the event some time soon as the series has the highest profile of electric racers.

I was mighty impressed with the VW IDR, i didnt think it would get in to the 42s. With a few more runs maybe it could have got low 42s but i dont think it would beat the record. I cant see anything bar a specialist hill climb car beating it.
Rumour has it that Simone Faggioli, multiple Euro hill climb champion, was taking part in his super quick Norma after coming 2nd at Pikes Peak but there was no sign of him in the end.
