As my daughter had something planned for fathers day I didn't go to Supercar Sunday at Gaydon, instead I popped along to Goodwood on Saturday and I'm glad I did biggrin











Full gallery here - http://rallyrider.zenfolio.com/p675495117/ - only 269 photos, not bad for less than 2 hours work. Can anyone name all the different cars there?

Thanks for sharing these excellent photos, Del. You really caught the GW atmosphere very well, some amazing cars at this sprint. Not sure I will do this event again, seems crazy to try and get a good time from a standing start. Real trouble in getting of the line, as the car would either spin on the spot or stall on you(triple-plate clutch is like on/off button!), and when you eventually do get off the line, you have to attempt a good time on ice-cold tires.... Madness, particularly at this very unforgiving circuit. I know its the same for everyone, but it does spoil the fun slightly. Not good value for money either, as I only did 4 laps all day, for which I had to pay a £100 entry fee!

Some great pics there Del as usual.
I received my H-Res shots from the trackday thanks.....good web site you have.




I was only spectating on the day and thought the same, getting a good lap time with cold tyres and brakes hmmm. It would of been nice to see at least one warm up lap and then a hot lap, even from a spectators point of view that would of been better.

A good afternoon had though and was nice to see the GT40's going round.
