Kemal, To be honest I was just refering to "Festival of Speed" and the possibility to drive there. Reason is that I always wanted to visit this particular event and to drive there instead of only watching is very appealing to me. Thanks for the offer anyway. I am afraid my calendar is already full with work, work, work and two N�rburgring events.  Con saluti cordialissimi, Jens Haller | ||

Hi Jens... You can book up via a company such as www.easytrack.co.uk in order to drive Goodwood... Prices are about 300 EUR for the day, with an open Pitlane... I love Goodwood it is a lovely track to drive, and it is well marshalled, at least at their events, so if they see anyone driving like an a**hole, they kick them off...! I am hoping to do the August event, and a group of us at the moment are trying to get a few people together to hire the track ourselves... if you are intersted, drop me a line! That way we would be only 20 and have the whole circuit to ourselves... Mmmmmmm :-) | ||

Ross, These are pics from Bruntingthorpe, right? Guess the 911 Turbo was the one from Daz. Met him at the N�rburgring lately and his car is awesome. Guess he would be even faster if he could reduce the passengers weight a bit! Mark, What about Festival of Speed at Goodwood? I thought only rare vintage cars could drive there! Is it possible to drive there with a normal 348 as well? Would love to do this since I always wanted to visit Goodwood one day! Please enlight me about this! Con saluti cordialissimi, Jens Haller | ||

highest speed on the day was 190mph with a guy in a 996 tt x50 (although most of us thought he had a bit more under the hood). the problem was there was only about 1.5 miles of track so not everybody reached vmax, and virtually no run-off area after the timing lights, so you had to stand on the brakes and turn right or go thru a parking lot full of cars, trucks, standing water etc.at about 100mph. hairraising but fun. | ||
