PRODRIVE AT GOODWOOD 2007
Goodwood has an exciting new partnership with Prodrive, one of the world’s leading motor sport teams, to provide a unique track days featuring Aston Martins and rally stage experience. For more than 20 years, their rallying programme for the WRC Subaru World Rally Team has produced six world champions including Colin McRae and Richard Burns. Prodrive is also responsible for the Aston Martin’s return to world sports car racing. Their DBR9 competed in both the FIA GT series and at Formula one teams, Prodrive has guaranteed entry to the 2008 F1 World Championship. Prodrive brings twenty years’ experience of running race and rallying programmes for the biggest names in motor sport.
THE ASTON MARTIN SPORTS CAR EXPERIENCE
In 1959, Sir Stirling Moss won the 1959 Tourist Trophy at Goodwood in his Aston Martin DBR1, which clinched the World Sportscar Championship for Aston Martin – the first British marque to win this title – and secured his reputation. Inspired by that win, almost 50 years later, the very same marque prepared by Prodrive, will be available at Goodwood. Drive not only a track prepared version of the V8 Vantage but, most incredibly, an Aston Martin DBRS9 sports endurance race car, inspired by Aston Martin’s 2006 Le Mans entry. We can arrange for Sir Stirling Moss and his original Aston Martin DBR1 to join you.

Sounds intersting, but the blurb is awful: so , Moss "secured his reputation" as late as '59? Hmmm...And the DBRS9 was inspired by the DBR9 of 2006, despite launched in 2005 in racing in the British GT in 2006. And Moss owns the DBR1? No he doesnt. Peter Hardiman does.
Goodwood do some good events, but they do tend to cater for the "lifestyle" enthusiats, who like to be seen rather then those who know what they are talking about.

One issue only. Why exactly are Prodrive wanting to go F1 racing? Is that really of any relevance or assistance to Aston Martin? The TV viewing figures are dropping through the floor and I for one am not terribly surprised. They are going to drop a ton of somebody's money, to achieve what. At least in sports Car racing the cars look like cars instead of a high speed procession of pimped go-karts
