ACTIVITIES:
Welcome and Short Safety Briefing
A short briefing on the content, format and safety aspects of the day.
The Alfa Romeo Challenge
An on track familiarisation session driving Alfa Romeo sports saloons. This driving session starts with an instructor demonstration, followed by each guest driving a number of laps. With each lap your lines and technique will improve, preparing you for your drive in the single seaters
Single Seater Drive
The chance to drive a race distance on Goodwood's historic 2.5 mile Grand Prix circuit. The circuit and facilities have recently received a multi million pound renovation, and is the world's premier venue for historic car racing. You will be driving two litre, slick tyred Formula Ford 2000.
The Classic & Supercar Experience
This is a unique and real nostalgia trip: a chance for your guests to drive some truly great super-cars and classic cars in their perfect setting. Each guest will drive three of the following:
Aston Martin Vantage
The Aston Martin V8 Vantage is a supreme example of a modern hand-crafted sports car that offers exceptional performance, outstanding agility and everyday usability. The Vantage is powered by 420 HP 4.7-litre V8, which sounds spectacular and is capable of propelling the car to a maximum speed 180 mph.
Lamborghini Gallardo
The Lamborghini Gallardo is one of the worlds most exotic super cars, named after a famous Spanish fighting bull, hailed for its fierocity, strength and courage. The Gallardo’s 5.0 litre V10 engine produces 512 HP and feeds the power through a six speed manual gearbox.
Ferrari F360
Almost 400 bhp is delivered with the accompaniment of the most satisfying aural treat that anyone could imagine from an engine! The F360 has the dynamic styling and awesome levels of road- holding to live up to this sound track. It is recognised as one of the best driving Ferraris of all time.
E-Type Jaguar
Surely the styling and performance icon of the Swinging Sixties. Jaguar's150 mph top speed publicity stunt was never replicated independently, but no one noticed. Racing drivers, movie stars and pop icons flocked to Jaguar with their chequebooks open.
Aston Martin DB4
The ultimate 60s Inter-continental Grand Tourer. With fantastic British sportscar styling and the most amazing engine note, this car is a real pleasure to drive round Goodwood’s sweeping 2.5 mile Circuit.
Porsche Carrera RS
The 1973 Carrera RS were specifically built with all the right "bits" to go racing - enlarged engine, lightweight body, wider wheels, front spoiler and the characteristic "Duck Tail".
Cobra 302 c.i. (4.9 litre)
Carroll Shelby, famous American racer and race car builder, took one look at AC's diminutive open sports car with is 2 litre engine and suspected he knew why it didn't go very fast: It needed a more grunt! A tuned V8 engine, huge wheels and wide arches should do the trick. He was right! Later versions had 7 litres for added lunacy.
Porsche Carrera 2 Sport
The 996, a totally new car from Porsche, with a new shape, a new interior and a new water-cooled engine. The engine, as it's always been, is in the rear, the chassis a development of things learned from the 993. Therefore this new model handles even better, has superb brakes, and great performance.
Chevrolet Corvette C5
One of the most refined in a long line of Corvettes. How about 0-60mph in 4.7 secs, 175mph, 5.7litres developing 339bhp! Add to this all the creature comforts that our transatlantic cousins insist on, and the latest heads-up display instrumentation straight from military fighter jets!
Dodge Viper R/T10
This car is the epitome of everything American. A V10 engine, 8 (yes eight!) litres, and only two seats. No roof, luggage space for a toothbrush and a MacDonalds voucher, and 440bhp.
Ford Mustang V8
The latest reincarnation of the iconic American muscle car. This 2008 model has 4.6 litres producing 300bhp. With retro styling and stunning looks this car is a real crowd pleaser!
Lotus Cortina
An instant track sensation when it was first introduced, the Lotus Cortina was the first of the fast Fords. Sit behind the same wheel as names such as Jim Clark, Jack Brabham and Jackie Stewart and drive a real piece of motorsport history around Britain’s most historic track.
PLUS EVENT INCLUDES:
Race Karts
We have a fleet of karts for wheel to wheel racing on our purpose built outdoor kart track. After a briefing we run plenty of practice sessions before running a series of heats and finals.
Skidpan Driving
This is an apron of smooth concrete that we water and lubricate. After a session practising opposite lock power slides we then ask your guests to race through a course in a car with bald tyres! This is a timed competition that sorts the Starskys from the Hutches!
Helicopter Ride
An opportunity to see the Goodwood Motor Circuit, and surrounding countryside whilst experiencing the sensation of flying in a Jet Ranger. See Chichester with its beautiful Cathedral, Goodwood Racecourse and House, the South Downs and the coast.
