Popular Post Stuart Davis AO - Devon Cornwall & Somerset Posted July 16 Popular Post Share Posted July 16 This is just a dump of various images I took on Sunday. Please feel free to add any you took if you were there too. They are just a tiny sample of the hundreds of beautiful cars on show. Favourites for me were the £30 million 250 GTO owned by Nick Mason, the F40LM, the beautiful McLaren F1 and MP-4/5B F1 car. I also loved the Lanzante McLarens, colour scheme is spectacular! Surprisingly, I was also quite impressed by the McMurtry Spéirling. It just seemed to be very well thought out and engineered, nice and small and achieved alot more with 1000bhp than other ICE and Electric cars achieved with 1500 or 2000bhp. I confess I wasn’t taken by the Red Bull RB17 Hypercar. Whilst no doubt amazingly engineered and unbelievably fast, it just looks huge and quite fussy. Compared to the stunning McLaren F1…. Well to me there is no comparison. The last two shots are quite special to me. The first one was, I think, in 2007 when my son was five, and then this year. He wanted to make sure his car was in shot to show he was now driving himself to Goodwood 😊 Finally, a couple of vids from the day (or should I say firstly as they appeared before the images 🤪) 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flying Carrot Steve Posted July 16 Share Posted July 16 Very nice pics @Stuart Davis AO - Devon Cornwall & Somerset The Spéirling is made just up the road from me in Wotton-Under-Edge, they sometimes test it at Castle Combe circuit though I have yet to be lucky enough to be there and see it in action. Watching it go up the hill at Goodwood (on tv) a few years ago I was shocked at how quick it looked, a bit like the video had been sped up! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is absolutely insane in real life, just as you say, looks like it has been speeded up! I don’t really like the EVs, but something about this one is quite amazing. I can’t imagine driving it up the hill though, it’s so narrow towards the top. A couple of cars lost wing mirrors against the wall and a Ferrari 512 crashed up there sadly, not too much damage I don’t think. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ewan Posted July 16 Share Posted July 16 Great pics Stu. Especially the four with the blue Urraco in the background! That one at Goodwood is the LHD twin of my RHD one, shown here: 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craigieboy Posted July 16 Share Posted July 16 Amazing pictures. The Miura was my poster car and the Delta S4 takes me back to my 'Cars and Car Conversions' days 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Urraco did look good, although this fanboi was just a little bit star struck by the LP400….even though it was yellow 😱🤣 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ewan Posted July 17 Share Posted July 17 LP400 have to be yellow - that was the colour of the launch car. It suits the shape so well. Nice little Lambo tractor took your eye as well I see. I had mine restored by Dorset Tractors a couple of years ago. Great fun for a slow run down the local country roads that the Westie sprints along. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I did like the little Lambo tractor, great colours on that too 👍 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dombanks Posted July 18 Share Posted July 18 missed so much there on sat, the boy wasnt at all happy by the track and keeping a set of ear defenders on him was next to impossible.

Definitely enough stuff to do for two days, more relaxed without having to cram it all in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
