@XXformula but the festival of speed is not about racing, and alot of the drivers are told to take it slow to show off what a motorcar can do and what different aspects make it up. but its your opinion and i respect that

@Emiins They only do demo runs now because of the danger

1999 was my 1st Goodwood Festival of Speed. I have been every year since, expect 1 where i was ill

Wow, that looked dangerous!

Wrong sound?

Even if he never wins a grand prix, which is looking more likely each and every day. He'll at least have this record, and the Nurburgring Nordschleife lap record if i'm correct.

@dewa002 Everyone round me broke into applause immediately he went past. Gobsmacking to see someone actually going ballsout. Of course he could have killed about 40 people had things not panned out, but having missed out on late 60's f1, it was nice to witness a moment that probably can't happen again.

I was there. standing with a bunch of friends by the house. The whole crowd spontaneously burst into applause after he went past and he hadn't even gone up the hill yet, just the collective joy of seeing some young idiot going for it
-
I reckon he spent 40 seconds of that 41.6 second run bottoming out.

This gave me some good-wood!
Good to hear an F1 car hard at work at Goodwood, most of the time they either rev the hell out of them, or take it slow and easy, you can only listen to an F1 engine bounce off a rev limiter so many times before it gets kinda old, I like the beautiful song of a driver going quickly up through the gears, or the snarl of the exhaust as he downshifts into a corner better than mindless revving personally.
