    '04 Goodwood Festival of Speed

    I've just ordered my tickets before they completley run out. £40!!!

    Anyway, is anyone else going? If any of you are planning on going I'd order your tickets now because they're going fast. On the Goodwood Site they said this ..

Alongside established marques such as Porsche, Ferrari, Jaguar, Aston Martin, BMW, Chevrolet, Renault, Alfa Romeo, Honda and Mercedes-Benz you will see the latest offerings from more specialists manufacturers such as Lotus, TVR, Lamborghini, Maserati, Morgan, Noble, Pagani, Edonis and de Tomaso"

    Maserati MC12 *Comfirmed*
    Chrysler ME12 *Comfirmed*
    Porsche Carrera GT *Comfirmed*
    Ford GT *Comfirmed*
    Aston Martin DB9 *Confirmed*

    Those are the Supercars that are confirmed but from the Manufacturer list on the Goodwood site there will be a huge expansion to that list.

    Quotes from Goodwood Website:

    Formula 1
    Current cars from top teams, such as Williams, McLaren, Ferrari, Renault, Toyota, Jordan and BAR. Plus key machines from the history of the World Championship: 1950s front-engined thunderers; dainty and daring 1960s rear-engined pioneers; early high-winged cars of the late 1960s; 1970s Ford DFV-powered aerodynamic innovators; ground-breaking ground-effects cars of the early 1980s; 1000bhp mid-1980s turbochargers; and high-tech, high-revving 1990s wailers.

    Le Mans legends
    Current contenders, fresh from la Sarthe and usually still grubby from their marathon efforts. Plus a heady blend of bygone heroes: gigantic pre-war superblowers from Bentley, Alfa Romeo, Delahaye and others; golden-age 1950s sports cars like the Jaguar C- and D-types, Mercedes 300SLR, Ferrari Testa Rossa and their challengers; shatteringly fast mid-engined prototypes like the Ford GT40 and Porsche 917; stunning 1980s Group C turbochargers, including the all-conquering Porsche 956/962 and its contemporaries; and 7-litre monster coupes and sleek open cars of the 1990s.

    World rallying
    The latest contenders from top works teams such as Ford, Subaru and Peugeot. Also, rallying greats from yore: fire-spitting 500bhp Group B cars of the 1980s, including Audi's Sport Quattro, Lancia's Delta S4 and Peugeot's 205 T16; limited-production Group 4 chargers like the Lancia Stratos and Alpine-Renault A110; and 'standard saloons, sideways with spotlights' (from Allard P-type to Escort RS2000) representing the days before purpose-built homologation specials.

    The glamour of Indianapolis
    Each year, the Festival of Speed features a selection of the world's most celebrated Indycars from the USA: pioneering pre-war Millers and Duesenbergs; archetypal front-engined roadsters from Watson and Epperly; plus later F1-influenced mid-engined aerodynamic monocoques, from Lotus 34 through to current cars.

    Bergspyders and endurance road racers
    Classic sports cars that competed in the great road races such as the Mille Miglia, Targa Florio and Carrera Panamerica, plus Europe's epic mountain-climbing races up tortuous and challenging passes. This includes everything from Lotus-Climax 19 to Mercedes-Benz 300SL prototype, from 700cc BMW RS to Ferrari 250 GTO.

    Touring cars
    The most evocative European production racing cars from the Fifties through to modern times: Jaguar Mk2, Ford Galaxie, Lotus Cortina, Mini Cooper, BMW 3.0CSL 'Batmobile', Vauxhall Firenza ‘Baby Bertha’, Sierra RS500 Cosworth and many others.

    Hot rods, salt flat racers, dragsters and Land
    Speed Record cars

    Alternative thinking from the vast open spaces of America, where the intricacies of braking and fine handling give way to the simple maxim of going as fast as you can in a straight line. The Festival has featured everything from cut-down 1920s street sedans and cars made out of aircraft belly tanks to tyre-frying, wheel-standing dragsters and the supersonic Thrust SSC Land Speed Record holder.

    CanAm, TransAm and NASCAR
    A selection of landmark machinery from America's legendary National competitions: the world's most powerful road-racing sports cars; wild modified production coupes with stacks more power than grip; plus rumbling V8 stock cars from the heavy metal of the 1960s to awesome 'road car silhouettes' of modern times.

    Titans
    Herculean single seaters from motor racing's first Golden Age: separate chassis, superchargers, sit-up-and-beg or streamliner from the sport's legends. Alfa Romeo 8C; Auto Union V16; Bugatti Type 35, 51, 53 and 57; every conceivable ERA; Mercedes-Benz W25, W125, W154 and W165; front-wheel drive and four-wheel drive Millers: all are Festival favourites.

    Vintage racers
    Legendary cars from the early years of international motor sport: chain-drive city-to-city road racers; thunderous aero-engined speed record cars; plus Grand Touring cars from such great names as Alfa Romeo, Bentley, Delahaye, FIAT, Mercedes-Benz, Napier, Peugeot and Sunbeam.

    Precursors
    The dawn of motoring produced some fabulously quirky innovations: steam-powered road racers; rickety 'horseless carriages' comprising little more than a pony cart with rudimentary engine; Edwardian motorcycles that live up to their name surprisingly literally; lightweight cyclecars that cross the boundaries between motorcycle and automobile. Even Roman chariots have featured at the Festival.

    Sorry Mustang i cant get onto my account so im gonna have to use this account until someone sorts it out.

    Anyway ..... Im going on the Sunday. I was tempted to get a 3-day pass because I live nearby but Im out on the saturday. I normally watch from the stands at the first corner becasue its relitivley easy to get a seat on. However I shall not be arriving in style. I would be coming in my friends 300bhp MR2 Turbo but my grandad wanted to come so I have to turn up in either a Nissan Micra or a Turbo-diesel 406

    If you havent been before beware of prices! A normal small bottle of drink (ie. Coke, Fanta) is around £1.50 ... £1.40 at the cheapest. But I dont really mind because Id rather spend £1.50 on a drink than having to haul around a hamper for the whole day (OMG! That had a rythmn to it!). Last year it was very hot and bright so bring shades etc. Dunno what sort of camera you use but If you use a digital camera that takes extra memory, its well worth bringing some extra SD cards because theres so much to photograph. Alternativley if you're using an SLR or normal film camera, bring a briefcase full of film

    This is my official distress thread i wrote to the webmaster who is Wouter isnt it?
    http://www.ultimatecarpage.com/forum...7729#post77729

    I live in East Sussex and Goodwood is in West Sussex. Ill be taking videos with my digital camera but they wont be high quality, my last year videos were good though but you just cant see what the cars are from the video because i was quite far away and the camera didnt like distances. Its definatley the most amazing event ive ever been to.

    The display outside the Goodwood house this year will be of Rolls Royces; expected to be better than last years GT40's!

    There was also a huge article in Autocar which arrived this morning but ill scan both of these later in the week so I dont give anything away to people who havent yet read the magazine but will be.

    ok thanks alot DB9 looking forward to seeing that advert, i am setting off to goodwood on tuesday to stay with my Aunt and Uncle.

    Last years GT40 thing was amazing 3 GT40;s hung up vertically

    looking forward very much to this years show.
