Hi,

Just got back from Goodwood FoS - saw the Sagaris do the hill climb in the Supercar section. WOW!! It was a bit damp, but unlike the other cars today the Sagaris was hooned quite well up the hill. Burnouts all the way. It was a great spectacle, and much appreciated by the crowd. Great day!!

Whoever was driving liked the throttle pedal. He wheel span for about the first 20m then got a bit of oversteer around the first corner (where i was) then i heard a load of burnouts further on.

Top bloke!

Yes he seemed to be having some trouble controlling the car!

I believe it was Phil Keen driving yesterday (Racing Green's young Tuscan Challenge driver).
I was watching from Pheasantry Hill. Much hooning, wheel spinning, power slides etc. Sounded great and easily got the biggest cheers from the crowds.

Great to witness a true TVR fan base in this multi-marque environment.

It was Phil Keen. It said so on TVR news. Is/was there any TV coverage of Goodwood, or is the tennis/football schedule taking it all??

Took this rather nice photo of the Sagaris whilst at Goodwood on Friday. The best looking car in the supercar paddock in my opinion, and possibly the cheapest!

I think it has a rather cheeky smile for a front end

I reckon you'd get out of the way sharpish if you saw that in your rear-view mirror!

Great picture!

Am sure it is an absolute weapon, but can't stop thinking it's a horrible looking car and sooo not the way TVR's design should be going. Way too Max Power.

The renault Clio V6 is cheaper isn't it? Nice car the Sagaris, though I prefered the vette C6.

Wondered what was going on, only watched it on the big screens (was having lunch at the time, bugger) and it looked like it had serious handling issues snaking from side to side like that

Exactly the same here. We were having lunch on the cricket green across from the stage at the time. Mind you, we did also get a superb view of the display by the Sea Vixen, so all was not lost.

Top video! Well worth the wait (56k line you see).
The car does seem to be all over the place though! It's a bit scary / worrying, what were other cars like?

I think he was just mucking about, since no other car was like that at all! That was easily the best car to watch, except maybe takuma satos donut
