2014 Goodwood F of S pics - Part I


Recommended Posts

Thursday.........crowds made it feel more like a Sunday :scare:

 

"Moving Motor Show" day - baiscally that meant punters could sign up for drives up the hill in their car(s) of choice if they were lucky (I was not :( ) although it was apparent most super cars were being driven by Pros. What that revealed is the huge difference in the noise made - whilst the quietness of the electric/hybrids was expected, honestly you could easily have missed some other so-called sports cars - the GT86s in particular were in dire need of proper exhausts - thank God for the Masers, Ferrari's AMGs etc :lol:

 

Looking forward to watching the runs on Saturday - could get interesting with the rain expected :drive1:D

 

 

But some seriously good motors about - hope you enjoy the pics - just a small selection to whet your appetites ;)

 

Mercedes celebration of 120 years in motorsport was the basis of the central display:

This looked Jag 220 size, kinda think it is more an insight into what the LMP1 for next year will look like

Oh, and spotted part of Nissan's heritage nearby - a Datsun I don't ever recall seeing before

I was watching the grey MSO 650S yesterday while it was being manouvered around for their publicity shots - it sounds and looks absolutely gorgeous.

Nice pics, thanks for sharing :) The Nissan stand looks cool, loving the IDX and Vision GT prototypes! But why no 370Z?
