As I said earlier, when Goodwood was first run, most saw it as a competition, but more and more drivers these days use it as a true festival, hence F1 drivers doing doughnuts in front of Goodwood house, so that the fans see them for more than the split second they see them when going for FTD - and ...

Hmm, but wouldn't that make it Formula Honda?!

Perception of costs is a huge factor in Formula Ford at a Championship level. People thought you had to spend hundreds of thousands of $$ to win. Not true. It has been proven that you can compete at around $5K per meeting including all costs. But people choose not to believe it, they prefer to ...

How stunning is this car!

Yes, the car looks absolutely amazing

Sorry, only made it down there on the Friday and that's all the photos I took - I've got heaps from last year (and 2009) though.

This car is also at Teretonga this weekend for the Classic Speedfest
