Goodwood Festival Of Speed '08

[micra_wrc]

Anyone going to this years Festival of Speed this weekend?

Things that caught my attention from their website...

A special tribute to rallying giant Colin McRae will feature at the event,

including a paddock full of the machines that made him famous,

such as his Subaru Impreza and Ford Focus WRC,

along with lesser-known vehicles that he drove, including the Le Mans Ferrari 550 Maranello GTS and Jordan-Peugeot 196 F1 car.

and

Current WRC teams will join more than 40 historic rally cars on the enhanced Goodwood Forest Rally Stage.

Expect to see plenty of gravel-spitting sideways action from current WRC heroes such as

Petter Solberg and Chris Atkinson in the new hatchback Subaru Impreza WRC

Note that "Festival entry is by advance ticket only, with a limited number of tickets still being available"

I was there last year and it was was absolutely fantastic .

It was the last time I saw Colin McRae driving a Subaru Impreza . I watched him on the rally stage and on the hillclimb.

It is probably too late to get tickets now as they usually sell-out pretty quickly .

BUT ! the R.B. foundation were looking for members to volunteer to help out with their stand this year and I believe admission would be included
