I have alot of infomation on this years event as been a member of the GRRC ( Goodwood Road Racing Club ) There will be all sorts of machinery available to cast you eyes over. From Sterling Moss’s 300SL to today’s current De Matta F1 Toyota. And the noise is just fantastic. The dates are 11th 12th 13th of July, the 13th been the busiest of the three. I will be going for the whole weekend.

Just thought I would give you a run down on what you should expect to see at this years 2003 Festival of Speed.

F1

Current cars from top teams, including Williams, McLaren, Ferrari, Renault, Toyota, Jordan, Jaguar and BAR . Plus key machines from the history of the World Championship: 1950s front-engined thunderers; dainty and daring 1960s rear-engined pioneers; early high-winged cars of the late 1960s; 1970s Ford DFV-powered aerodynamic innovators; ground-breaking ground-effects cars of the early 1980s; 1000bhp mid-1980s turbochargers; and high-tech, high-revving 1990s wailers.

Le Mans legends

Current contenders, fresh from la Sarthe and usually still grubby from their marathon efforts. Plus a heady blend of bygone heroes: gigantic pre-war superblowers from Bentley, Alfa Romeo, Delahaye and others; golden-age 1950s sports cars like the Jaguar C- and D-types, Mercedes 300SLR, Ferrari Testa Rossa and their challengers; shatteringly fast mid-engined prototypes like the Ford GT40 and Porsche 917; stunning 1980s Group C turbochargers, including the all-conquering Porsche 956/962 and its contemporaries; and 7-litre monster coupes and sleek open cars of the 1990s.

World rallying

The latest contenders from top works teams like Ford, Subaru and Peugeot. Also, rallying greats from yore: fire-spitting 500bhp Group B cars of the 1980s, such as Audi's Sport Quattro, Lancia's Delta S4 and Peugeot's 205 T16; limited-production Group 4 chargers like the Lancia Stratos and Alpine-Renault A110; and 'standard saloons, sideways with spotlights' (from Allard P-type to Escort RS2000) representing the days before purpose-built homologation specials.

So does anyone fancy it!!!
