It should be a good event for TVR

I'm piloting one of the DeWalt T400R Le Mans cars up the hill and Michael Caine is driving a T400R road car.

[Podie]

I'll be there on the Friday...

So I'll post some pics when I get back!

Sod that, any chance of a "lift" up the hill?!?

[Rob Barff]

Burn outs?!....

Me?!....

I'll see what I can do!

[HarryW]

Last year one of the F1 cars, I think it was Montoya in the Williams or it could have been Badoa(sp?) in the Fezza , had one of the slowest times on the Saturday as he was stopping every 50 yards to do burn outs and the odd donut .
Highly recommended no one really cares about the time up the hill, its the entertainment on the way that pleases the crowds .
Out of interest are TVR going to have more than a couple of dozen T shirts on sale for the buying public unlike Le Mans .

I spoke to the club office yesterday and I think they are taking most of their stock. We wanted some at Gang on the Green but we'll only get what's left after Goodwood!

Yep, it was Montoya
He walked out the F1 paddock, had a look at the track near the exit, went back to his car, started up then came out and did a HUGE donut right infront of the grandstands

[Porky]

All this AND Jodie Kidd in her Maserati Spyder!

It looks a great line up this year - will be my sixth visit (am going on Sunday) - really looking forward to the supercar run and the pre-war Mercedes Grand Prix car (Surtees at the wheel again) not to mention the headcase in the dragster "wheelie" car!

[robp]

A question for all you regulars.

I have been going to GFOS since the very sad incident with the marshall being killed a few years ago.

Was the viewing better before this? For a hillclimb I think the actual view you get of the track is pretty poor. The hay bales are too high and if you are not near the front you dont really see much. Am I just looking in the wrong places or would you agree?

I'm going on Saturday Katja (my daughter) will also be there (with Luis Vuitton IIRC).
