I have posted this under Goodwood Events but was advised to put it here:

I've never had to put a post up like this before, so sorry if it's in the wrong section!

It was Friday 2nd July around 6:45am driving to the Goodwood Festival of Speed

REG: P241 YDZ

It was a Black Toyota Coupe of some sort - vaguely resembled a Honda Integra but i've never seen one so assume it must be some sort of cheap import. (Confirmed it's a Toyota Paseo)

The car had PH logos on the bonnet, rear end and various other places so i'm pretty sure he's a member hence logging on here to report it.

Approaching Goodwood just out of Midhurst we're in a long line of condensed Traffic doing around 40-50mph getting along nicely when all of a sudden some "Hero" in above mentioned car decides to over take around 5-6 cars at a time before squeezing in behind us forcing the Rover he just cut up to anchor up hard. (The Rover proceeded to flash constantly showing his anger).

Then this IDIOT decides to overtake us on a blind slightly raised section of road, and around 4 cars in front of us!!!! The car is by no means fast, (not that it would be an excuse) but the way he was over taking long lines at a time you would think he was desperately trying to get to hospital or something.

There were 4 of us in the car, and we were all absolutely appalled by this guys driving - it was so dangerous, and could have easily caused a nasty accident.

The worst part of all was that he was heading to the same place as everyone else and as he pulled in had to pull over and check the under-side of the car (assume he heard some rattle or something) but to drive like that literally a mile or so from the entrance is completely irresponsible and just basically T\/\/attish in all honesty.

He then parked up and had to pop his bonnet so i really hope he did some damage to his engine as it was no less then he deserved driving like that. I was so close to congratulating "Mr Schumacher" on his amazing driving but really didn't want my car keyed or worse.

Sorry for the lengthy post, but people like that REALLY give PH members a bad name - it's always these tools that decide to cover their car in PH stickers too!!

Hope someone knows him and points him to this post!

TBH, from my experience there on Wednesday night - most of the locals drive like that too.

He was stood with the bonnet up waiting for a mate to come so i didn't hang around to take a pic, then he'd gone when we got back later on - Hopefully the car had caught fire and been dragged out of there.

There's a few other sub types listed as well.... But would the person in question have listed their car in their profile...

Said Hero driver, whilst wearing PH stickers you are representing the site, don't drive like a dick with them on.

Is that a confession?

I got overtaken by some idiot as well, overtook 3 cars and past about 3 no overtaking signs.

It's not about if they caused an accident, it's the fact they are risking other people's safety. In the case of the one I saw there are reasons that a piece of road is set as non-overtaking - why would someone think it was safe to overtake?
