Great photos Patrick! I will have to ask you for some of them in HI RES. I think I need a better camera, your shots look so crystal clear, and I used a tripod for most of my shots.

You know you did a good job when other people who saw the car with their own eyes like your pics.

Martijn - I'll get to Photoshop'ing the large version of the side profile tomorrow.

I owe Arjan an image as well of something else.

There should however be something interesting for you lot going up the hill this year.
Shame about the GT but at least there's something else coming.

Cheers for the reply

Please let it be #01R or XP1LM! If it is, I might have to look into going to Goodwood this year.

Any chance of a more specific hint?

Re: 56XPGT / 056 F1 GT / XPGT displayed at Dream Cars for Wishes show in Brussels

I´ll reply myself here. After reading on Goodwoods homepage I´m sure it´s #01R! Or what do you guys think of what they write:

" With less than 25 weeks still to go until the 2013 Festival of Speed gets underway, Goodwood is already able to confirm a couple of dozen star competition drivers and riders in attendance, with an impressive number of significant motor sport victories between them.

Together the drivers set to appear at Goodwood this July have achieved 20 Grand Prix wins, as well as 12 Le Mans 24 Hours victories, four Indy 500 wins, four BTCC Championships, and four Targa Florio chequered flags."

That´s hint number one, even though none of the drivers of #01R seems to attend. Here´s hint two:

"Goodwood will recapture many of the outstanding Festival of Speed moments from the 1993-2012 era, whether that’s great cars from the USA and elsewhere making a rare return to the UK; or famous car/driver pairings reunited, including all manner of memorable - and often outrageous - contraptions on the 1.16-mile hillclimb.

These, along with a host of vehicles and competitors new to Goodwood, and a number of unexpected treats, will provide a fitting birthday party for the world’s greatest celebration of motor sport history and car culture."

Fingers crossed that I´m right!

I'll just add that it seems logical McLaren would not go to the trouble of bringing the car back to life for just to do a lap around the lake.

Nope, the car was prepped simply for the lake road run with nothing else in mind
Nothing has been confirmed for/with Goodwood yet... but then it is our 50th so I would hope we will take a few cars
