Goodwood

Hello everyone,

Its been a while since i’ve posted anything on here, its all been a bit busy at work and at home at the moment, but i’ve managed to steal a few moments to share my recent trip to Goodwood for the festival of speed

Now, this was my first time to the event, and i’d heard nothing be good reports on it before, so i was excited to see and hear a load of rare and new cars going up the famous sprint course, as well as the off road course and what turned out to be my favourate, the rally course.

I wont bore you with all the cars that i saw (coz we’d be here all day), but i’ll just go through a couple that i really enjoyed seeing, First would have to be all the F1 cars that went up the sprint course, i’ve been to the British Grand prix before, but this was different. I also stood captivated by the group B rally cars, like the stunning Lancia Delta S4, and the awesome Audi UR Sport.

But the real suprise of the weekend was the new sports car from Audi, The R8. Now i’d heard about the car, and see pictures of it on the net, but in the flesh (or metal) the car looks awesome. Its alot smaller then i thought it was going to be, but it still looks as menacing as it did in the press shots, and boy was it fast, much faster then i thought it was going to be.

Take a look at the Audi site for pics and the stats on the car, Audi R8 page , i think i’ll start saving now, but it might take me a while to save for the 82 thousand pound price tag on the 4.2l R-tronic model lol.
