Goodwood special moments. Everyone who attends Lord March's motoring garden party has one, whether it is watching Lewis Hamilton and Sir Stirling Moss coordinate the world's largest 'selfie' on Sunday afternoon, or viewing the endless parade of exotic metal work its way in the hill.
So listed below are ours : the Autocar team's favourite personal moments coming from the Festival of Speed... Chas Hallet - Elemental RP1Seeing the Jaguar F-type Project 7 was a higher point for myself, however it was an equal pleasure to satisfy the guys from Elemental and obtain a guided tour all around the Ariel Atom-rivalling RP1. It‘s like another lightweight British sports car we will be hearing much more about.
Steve Cropley - Ariel AceIt's a testament towards the name Ariel has developed for itself that towards the end of Friday, the firm had already sold a dozen of their new Ace motorcycles. Having a skeletal design harking back to the Atom, the £20, 000 bike comes powered in basic form using a 1. 2-litre water-cooled Honda engine with 173bhp. Matt Burt - Hyundai i20 rally carA swift series of tasty donuts right in front of Goodwood House was my highlight from the Festival. I‘d been fortunate enough to become strapped straight into the co-driver’s seat of Dani Sordo’s Hyundai i20 World Rally Car on Sunday morning when, after taking two corners from the course completely sideways, the Spaniard made a decision to entertain the crowds with some high-speed pirouettes.
Matt Saunders - Aston Martin V12 Vantage SStanding around at the highest from the hill after my afternoon run inside an Aston Martin V12 Vantage S, pretending to slot in amongst the overalled-up racing drivers, and feeling glad to possess avoided doing any damage upon the way up. Then Tiff Needell turns up and does a perfect two-pedal, 20mph drift around a ribbon of road barely wider than his BMW M4 - and also the crowd cheer in appreciation. Ever the entertainer. Nic Cackett - Ariel Atom 3. 5 RI'd prepared for my drive inside the 3. 5 R with every week inside an Atom 245. That got me used towards the type of fierce acceleration that Ariel has grown to be famous for, however this latest, hardcore Atom is requried to be made by another level entirely.
It exploded coming from the line, all 350bhp taken from its 2. 0-litre VTEC engine and transferred to Goodwood's tarmac. Darren Moss - Lamborghini Huracán rideIt's always a privelige to become asked to ride in the 1. 16-mile Goodwood hillclimb route. It is much more special in order to do it right in Lamborghini's new Huracán, powered using a 602bhp naturally aspirated V10 engine. My driver was Lamborghini's own Max Venturi, who had the work of piloting this £180, 000 supercar with the tight turns from the Goodwood estate.
