Well what a weekend! Got to see some awsome action. Got a few autographs too! What i was wondering is if there is a kit of the 1975 Hill GP car. Or is there a kit that is somewhere close that could be modified.
Here are some pics of the car i took from the paddock.

This is a somewhat modified Lola. I don't think, there is a kit of it...
I know someone who tried (or wanted) to scratch-build that car.
Was there really Damon driving this car at Goodwood?

Yes it was Damon Hill driving the car. The car was built for the 1976 season. As Graham Hill as well as Tony Brise were killed in an aircraft accident in the winter 1975, the car has never been raced as intended. It has recently been restored and was a feature in an article in the British magazine Motorsport.

Best regards

Went on Friday. I have pics of the 87 Toms JGTC supra inside and out and also the 99 Toyota GT1 car. When I find web space for them I'll post them up somewhere! In the meantime if anyone wants a zip file, PM me your e-mail address.

Derick Bell was late getting in his car and jumped over the barriers. He droped his moble and i had to retrieve it! I Got an ace shot of Rene Arnoux. Oh and the most cheezie shot ever with David "The Chin" Coultard!

Hi

You might like to see my article about Festival of Speed at this address: http://www.f1journal.com/05-006/Goodwood/05-06_goodwood_fh.htm

It is mainly pictorial with about 90 images. The language might present a problem or two ;-)

Best regards
