And the other stuff…

Here, a dyno test was being done on a Porsche GT3 with normal fuel, then with the new 102 Octane Ultimate fuel from BP. There’s quite a difference!

Some bike/car thing that was featured on Top Gear a few years ago. I overheard one of the staff say that this can tilt from 0 to 45 degrees in half a second!

Here, you could go on a ride in a Land Rover over a small obstacle course. It didn’t look that thrilling at first, but some of the angles the cars climb are pretty steep. Once, a car fell off the ramp

The stars of 2006
If anything the Earl has achieved to bring together some of the finest cars and motorcycles and have them driven by a large number of modern and contemporary greats. Among the many World Champions and/or Le Mans winners in attendance were greats like Jochen Mass, Sir Stirling Moss, Derek Bell, Sir John Whitmore and Wayne Gardner stood out. Of the still active drivers Red Bull F1 drivers Vitantonio Liuzzi and Christian Klien were present in addition to Jean Christophe Gounon who qualified on pole a week earlier in the Donnington 1000 km race and fellow prototype racer Nic Minassian who finished second at Donnington. They all were topped by American racing legend Phil Hill, whose career was celebrated throughout the weekend. He is no doubt the only man who completed the holy three in winning the Formula 1 World Championship, the 24 Hours of Le Mans (three times) and the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance (twice). It underlines his exceptional talent, but also his deep love for anything automotive, which was also aired for years in his articles for Road & Track. Coincidentally his first European motor racing experience was right here at Goodwood in 1949. In his honour a collection of cars he raced throughout his career was assembled made up of many examples rarely seen in Europe or even rarely seen in public at all. It literally spawned his entire career from the Alfa Romeo 8C 2900 he used in the 1951 Pebble Beach road race and the Chaparral 2F he drove to victory in the 1967 Brands Hatch BOAC six hour race. From his lengthy stay at Ferrari, we were privileged to see the 1958 Le Mans winning 250 TR58 and the 1961 winning 250 TR61 as well as the 246 Dino in which he scored the last front-engined F1 victory. All of ‘his’ cars were demonstrated on each of the three days; on the first Hill was driven around in the Alfa by his son Derek, on Saturday he took to the wheel himself and fought off his health issues on Sunday when he took to the wheel of the 250 TR58. There were further emotional moments for the old master when his son Derek took victory in Lawrence Auriana’s Alfa Romeo 3000 CM Coupe in the Freddie March Memorial Trophy. Phil himself drove this car several times with great success in recent years, but his deteriorating health no longer allows him to. Quite in contrast to the often very powerful racing cars that were out on track throughout the weekend were the little ‘micro’ cars that were also celebrated. Built in an age when few people could afford a proper car, these tiny machines were a great compromise between the price of a motorcycle and the protection of a car. These tiny cars really gave the word minimalistic a new meaning. Looking at the Berkeleys, Bonds and Goggomobiles demonstrated out on track, it is really hard to imagine them out on the roads these days where they would make a Smart look like an SUV.
In keeping with Goodwood’s airport history, this year we saw the celebration of 70 years of the Spitfire. Many believe this plane was key in stopping Adolf Hitler from invading England during the Battle of Britain. In between the races, there were a variety of demonstrations with up to eight Spitfires in the air at once, which could very well be the largest number seen in the skies this year. It was a true tribute as the British plane proved most efficient when used in large numbers to destroy the German bombers. A regular flyer at previous events was Ray Hanna and his recent passing was commemorated by taxiing his old plane down the main straight. During the War, the Spitfire was surpassed only by the American P51 Mustang, which was even more versatile and had a longer range, which was essential in the fighters’ new role of escorting bombers far into Germany. Two of these equally legendary planes were also present to give the tens of thousands of spectators further sore necks.

I wish I have been there, it's not that intersting just to read...mehh
