Now I just have to find some 1950s clothes so I can get in the paddock :detective

It was the weekend just gone, you missed out :(

I had a great time :)

In fact, Id go as far as to say it was the best motorsport event I have ever been to. F1, BTCC, WTCC etc etc, nothing comes close to how good the atmosphere is at Goodwood. This is a "must go" on next years calander for me, simply the best.

Hopefully I will get our pics online at some point, here is a little taster for you until then -

Did anyone else go this year (from here, that is)? Myself and Madman went today, good racing to be seen and lovely noisy to be heard. Typically British weather only added to the fun.

Was at the Rolex Vintage Festival at Lime Rock yesterday. I used to go to the Goodwood Revival every year, but now I'm in the US I make do with Lime Rock. It's pretty good, but has got more and more fixated with the big mustang and camaro trans am cars from the late 60s and early 70s.

These two beasts were there in 2004, but nothing as big as the Bentley. The guy in the blue/yellow #29 was really pushing it around. Not sure what either are, as I can't find the program.

Haven't downloaded all the photos off my camera from this year yet

Some photos from yesterday. Some pre'41 racing cars and some 55-63 formula cars. Don't ask me what they are - I was too cheap to spend the $7 for the program...

I like Lime Rock, because like Goodwood, there are some places you can get close to the track without all the catch fencing at the bigger tracks.

I've found a few photos from the 2001 Goodwood Revival, and one of the Bentley at the 2001 Festival of speed. The quality isn't great as they're scans of photos from before I had a digital camera. I used the shot of the pit straight as my wallpaper for ages. I really liked how it looked old, but note the half mast US flags. This was less than a week after the 911 attacks.
