Awesome weekend at Goodwood – weather was great as were the cars. Also a great way to try out my new 70-200 F2.8 Nikon lens – really handy for the Rally stages.

Very nice. I really like the last one.

Cheers – I managed to get access into the Driver’s enclosure so got some great shots at the top of the Hill climb..

No photos of Danny MacAskill in the arena? Now that was awesome! I have to admit that it’s too big an event to see everything.

To be honest, I’m not a car nut and didn’t know who anyone was. I got a free ticket ,as the GF had to work there, and just took a load of photos – she got me into various VIP areas, so I made the most of that.

But yes, it’s so huge you couldn’t catch everything.

Apparently youre no bike nut either 😛

That would also be true 😉

Was restricted to my iPhone so mostly static shots;

Danny Mac’s bike;

I videoed his ride which was very impressive. He was a really nice bloke – some kid wanted his photo taken sat on his bike and he let the kid ride it round and stuff. I had a quick chat with him too – very down to earth.

More random pics from iPhone;

Pretty good for a Phone camera!

Just noticed the heat haze from this Jet powered car:

First time I’ve been and went with JPCapel and our two youngest (4yrs old). Sensational event, even for 4 year olds. Second the comments re: Danny – top bloke, but for sheer quality of riding, he was outdone by the freestyle MX’ers – the whips they were pulling were just unreal!!!! And my boy low-5’ing them as they came back round to line up again was pretty cool too! Think I might make it an annual pilgrimage!!

Likewise – first time I’d been but will definitely go back next year – great event.

Just been looking at all the photos and you spot some interesting things:

The Revival meeting in September is going to also! First time I went to FoS was in 94 and tickets were £9.00 …….

It’s not cheap, which is the main reason why I haven’t been since 2003. I went snap happy taking pictures of the three Ford GT40s on the main display, completely unaware that one Johnny Herbert had sauntered into shot. Unfortunately, they old skool non digital photos otherwise I’d put them up here.

Must’ve been 2003 for me too then!

2005 (I think) I bought a season ticket, £98.00 for all six days, that was brilliant value compared to £42.00 for the Sundays!

I won 2 tickets on Twitter 🙂

same as me. What a superb day. Sunshine and GT40s.
The best car in the world. In the best livery in the world. Ever. Fact.

i think I have some pics somewhere too.

These ones?

I must have been there too 🙂

that’s them 🙂
