Jaguar Le Mans racer fastest at Goodwood

Jaguar Le Mans fastest at Goodwood Jaguar XJR8 / 9 driver Justin Law recorded the quickest time in the Goodwood Festival of Speed hillclimb course inside the final timed shoot-out, setting a period of 45. 95sec in the 1. 16-mile course en route to his fifth victory inside the 21-year-old event. Law, who previously won in 2003, 2005, 2008 and 2009, drove his Silk Cut-sponsored Le Mans car in the hill fastest inside the final runs from the day, which were televised live. French sports car racer Gregory Guilvert had looked set to the win inside the Peugeot 208 T16 that Sébastien Loeb used to succeed at Pikes Peak two weeks ago. However, his time of 45. 86sec inside the 875bhp, 875kg car was eventually pipped by Law. Driving Drayson Racing’s electric Le Mans racer, which recently set the land speed record for the electric car, GT ace Jonny Cocker managed a period of 47. 34sec, to bring the last podium position.       Jaguar Le Mans racer fastest at Goodwood
