Goodwood Festival Of Speed 2009: Rally Stage Compilation

[SrMatheusFsv]

@tbtstt hey man, you are wrong, this Porsche not is 911, but is 959, built for 1989 Rally Paris Dakar... thats ok?

[tbtstt]

@SrMatheusFsv The Porsche at 0:52? Thats a 911 SCRS, not a 959. The 911 SCRS was used earlier in the 80's.

The most obvious difference between the 911 and the 959 is the rear spoiler, pause the video at 0:54 and you can see its just a regular 911 shape.

[SiobhanFalkirk]

is that steve perez in the stratos?

[tbtstt]

@SiobhanFalkirk I think so. He was there in the Stratos last year, so I assume it was him back in 2009 as well!

[fermillo65]

LMAO @ 1:05-1:12 HAHAHA... The C4 going full throttle... you think: "WOW nice!"

and immediately after, a box-like small nissan going "meh" HAHA!

[davidgiggs1]

i really wanted to see walter rohl push the quattro s1 to the limit but it wasnt to be, not blaming the owner though, he completely restored it and it is f'n gorgeous

[d17a2dude]

What car had the fastest time?

[tbtstt]

Not 100% sure, but I'm pretty certain that the fastest Rally Stage time in 2009 was set by Loeb in the Citroen C4.

[davidgiggs1]

apart from loeb, the silver hyundai accent set the pace on the friday, the guy was mental!!!

[tbtstt]

I think that was Marcus Dodd in the Accent WRC!

[davidgiggs1]

@tbtstt i think you're right friend, i also think he was the only guy there who wasnt really bothered too much if he damaged his car, cant wait for this year, i am gonna spend the whole saturday watching the rally stage!!

[tbtstt]

I saw Dodd at the Sunseeker Rallye a couple of weeks ago and he was giving the car some serious abuse there as well - great driver though!

Yeah, I've ended up spending most of the weekend on the rally stage the last couple of years. The Hillclimb is great to watch, but its all about the rally stage!

[davidgiggs1]

@tbtstt last year was my first fos and im never missing it again!! friday was the best day for me as everything got a little busy on sat and sun, we got to the rally stage on the friday afternoon and that was it i was hooked, best part of the weekend!

[tbtstt]

Yeah, you're better off hitting the rally stage earlier in the weekend as you tend to find a lot of the classic cars are only run for a day or two.

I tend to start the days at the top of the hill, then move down the hill throughout the day - that way you pass all the crowds going the other way!

[davidgiggs1]

@tbtstt smart move!! i may just take that into consideration! did you hear about goodwood adding a date? due to the closure of some motorshow, goodwood are holding an extra date for manufacturers to show off their new product!

[douchetree13]

see any escorts?

[tbtstt]

There were a few on the stage, but not as many as I saw in 2008 - you should see a couple of them in the video!

[Jamirofan89]

The echo in the woods is phenomenal.

[callypee]

next year i pray ken block and travis pastrana will be there

[tbtstt]

I'm pretty sure that all the drivers at the Festival are there by invitation only. I like Block, but I daresay he hasn't done enough to get an invite to the FOS yet.

Still, they got Jesse James in this year, so fingers crossed we see more American stars there next year!

[callypee]

lets hope :)

[callypee]

actaully plus with Block being on top gear recently hopefully that'll rise his populatity aswell

[tbtstt]

I'm not 100% sure, but I've heard that Block will be at the 2010 FOS in a big BHP Fiesta. At a guess I would think that will be his new Gymkhana car, not his rally car.

[callypee]

it'll be awful if they rolled colin mcrae's subaru like they nearly did at 5:16

[Foals4Ever]

Its actually the Carlos Sainz 95 Impreza. McRae's championship winning car is in his garage and doesn't get used competitively anymore.

[callypee]

aaaah right my mistake :P

[D1rec7or]

yeh good camera work :)

[michigank9]

Nice Video work ! - Would be nice if they picked better roads to use.. Some of the cars are classics.. You want to show them off not demolish them... No Audi's ?

[tbtstt]

The whole rally stage is actually purpose built at the top of the Goodwood Hillclimb stage - some of the stage needs some construction work after the weekend is finished though!

There were several Audi's there but when I was up on the stage on both the Saturday and Sunday I didn't see them running!

[mo28mabini]

5:16 woah!

[mkilner]

Awesome!..thnx for reminding me how much i miss those rally cars!

[escortmk1mk2]

anyone know who was driving the mg, he looked very quick, shame their were no mk2 escorts out to play. great video excellent soundtrack.

[tbtstt]

Mark Higgins was behind the wheel of the S2000 MG - he was sideways round just about every corner!

There was at least one Mk 2 on the stage, sadly I didn't catch it on camera though. Sorry!

[ceterallyman]

nice video!!

[gmactehmac]

Last clip is AWESOME!
