Festival of Speed Pics

[Paul Thompson 'Hooligan']

Hi all -
Got myself down to Goodwood today for the first of 3 days attendance and once again had a great time...rockonsmile

I managed to 'snap' just short of 600 pictures and have listed a few below...

All have been taken on an EOS30D at maximum resolution and hence, the RAW files (jpgs) are all rather large - generally about 3MB+ each and 3504x2336 each.

The images below have been sized down to fit the forum but none have been edited in any way and I have included 3 as full size images here:

http://stsnet.co.uk/images/IMG_2501 BIG.JPG
http://stsnet.co.uk/images/IMG_2761 BIG.JPG

So - once I've been on all 3 days - I'll copy ALL the RAW images over the 3 days to DVD(s) to make available for those interested for a small fee (got to pay for my tickets somehow...) - so if you're interested, please PM me... (I could include ALL the previous FOS pics I've taken too if people are interested??).

The pictures...(batch 1)

Is that a collection of Bugatti Royales under the tent?

I found the answer to my question in a press release.

"Five of the total of just six Royales built will be on display at Goodwood as part of the Cartier ‘Style et Luxe’ automotive design competition – the most ever gathered together in the UK."

I wonder which car was missing and why?

Hi Fred -
The Ferrari is the Pininfarina/Glickenhaus P4/P5 Concept that was built for Forum Member Jim - (MK -4 J6)... and very nice it is too...rockonsmile

More about it here: Pininfarina | Ferrari P4/5 by Pininfarina

Ben -
Yep, 5 of the 6 built were there, but the 6th is in a Museum in California I think and the owner would not release it for inclusion in the display...

So - I was there again today and snapped another few hundred pics, of which another taster is shown below, although I went home early as it hammered down with rain about 2pm and I was not standing in the rain.

Back again tomorrow - fingers crossed for clearer weather...

Highlights today? - well the Veyron was fast, Group C cars were cool, Jim's P4/P5 awesome and some very nice bikes

and a few more....

"Five of the total of just six Royales built will be on display at Goodwood as part of the Cartier ‘Style et Luxe’ automotive design competition – the most ever gathered together in the UK."

This is the information from the large display board next to the Bugatti Royale display.

Therefore amazing how they allowed everyone to wonder freely amongst the cars - can't imagine any art gallery doing the same with such valued items!!

Christian Klien just about to nearly run me over (hence the blur as I moved backwards)!

So for Marc Gene I waited until after he had stopped going forwards!

Special Thanks to everyone for posting these pictures.

For some of us, and me in perticular, just turning on the computer to visit this site is a challenge on certain days......depending on how I feel.

Being able to see these great pictures is really nice. I can only imagine the many wonderful cars and sounds that an event like this has to offer.

Damn, being able to go to this would be a 10 out of a 10.

Thanks again for your time to take the pictures, and post them here.

 

[Max Walter]

The shiniest car!

I don't think he'll break any records like this!
