Pics from Goodwood 07/02
First post - go easy on me!!
I've checked the rules and hopefully I can squeeze this one in under Quote:
 Apologies if I've misinterpreted that, remove the thread if that's the case... Anyway... I took some pics at the BookaTrack day at Goodwood on 07/02. I've got a fair number more of *most* cars, if you were there and want high res copies, drop me a mail and I'll see what I've got. Distinctly non-professional, non-comercial, I just like taking pictures so don't expect too much! http://www.hankscorpio.net/cargallery/goodwood-040206 |

Thanks!
I did one at Brands last year but circumstances and car trouble have prevented me doing others, hopefully I'll get into the swing of it this year. I've been to see a fair few and I have to say that last week at Goodwood was the best I've seen for sheer variety of cars. I'm not a big fan of the road going racers and caterfields, I'd rather see the family saloon being given a good run out! And yes, everyone seemed to be having fun but then I left before the rain!

Yes Hank, Welcome to the Fourm!
I also like to see family saloons going hell-for-leather sround a track, basically doing the things that they weren't designed for...

I'd probably be the slowest in my Vectra SRi, but at least it's halfway there with stiffer suspension than the standard models. There was a guy there driving a BMW estate who was getting a bit lary coming out of the chicane. It definitely caused a few gasps on the gantry above the pits! |

Late last year, there was a guy towed his track car down with his Cayenne, the track car failed the noise test so he went out in the Cayenne, talk about lary!
I wouldn't worry about getting your Vetra out, I've seen Fiat Uno's, Rover Metro's, VW Passats and even a Saab 99. As one of the marshalls I was chatting to said, "It's a pace day, not a race day", I thought that summed it up well. I think there's another one on saturday, I might get down to that. |

Looked like a good day out.
Anything can be used (within reason). The point is having fun. It takes a Ferarri for some people to have fun, yet other people can have the same fun in a Golf, or Astra etc. |

Agree, that its the attitude and skill which make a trackday fun not so much the car. Although a decent car in a good condition does help
