FESTIVAL FUN… PART ONE

Posted on June 30, 2014 by Mario the Multipla

This weekend was our annual trip to the Goodwood Festival of Speed. We are lucky
enough to live quite close to Goodwood so it is easy for us to get there without
the cost of having to stay. This year I took my 81 year old Father, a lifelong
motorsport fan, on Thursday to the Moving Motor Show as part of his birthday
present. On Friday James and I went to the Bonham’s auction as James (a classic
car restorer and broker) was looking at a car for a client. Saturday we had a
day at home but popped down in the evening to see the Festival Ball fireworks
and on Sunday we had another day at the event with a friend.

Regie the 4cv Renault in the enthusiasts car park, looks like we are at a
country fete! Today this would be just off the cricket pitch right in the middle
of the event.

The F1 paddock 1994

Stripy tape hold the crowds back in 1994

Many of the cars were parked outside the house.

Just a single row of short bales line the track

The event has changed a lot since the first one in 1993, in the early days it
was very relaxed and a great opportunity to get close to famous drivers and see
extraordinary cars never seen before in the UK. Unfortunately over the years the
event has been a bit of a victim of it’s own success and the daily crowd of
around 50,000 means it is very busy and good old ‘health and safety’ has meant
more barriers and less access.

There used to be more older vehicles but since the addition of the Revival
meeting in 1998 the Festival had gradually become more modern and technically
based. While I enjoy being able to see the F1 and rally cars I’m really not
interested in super cars and the crowds of excited ‘boys’ gathered round them.
In the ‘old days’ one could actually meet and chat to the great drivers of
yesteryear but now the modern F1 ‘stars’ are kept hidden away in hospitality and
protected by minders, unfortunately rather necessary with the gaggle
of team-wear clad fans clambering for autographs.

We are probably rather spoilt as we have been able to go to all but one of the
22 Festivals and hence there isn’t much new to see these days but don’t get me
wrong, we do have a good time and it’s a great social event and an opportunity
to catch up with our motoring friends far and wide. Despite the forecast the
weather was good and sunny most of the time, I’d love to know what Lord March
does to ensure such favourable conditions for the event, although it’s most
likely just down to a micro-climate at the base of the South Downs.

Central Feature
Every year a manufacturer is celebrated with the sculpture outside the house,
this year was Mercedes and it went right over the house. Not one of my
favourites but it did grow on me over the weekend.

Bonhams Auction
The Bonhams auction is very prestigious and attracts a large number of very
valuable cars and automobilia. The sale achieved £22.6 million including a World
Auction Record for a Ferrari Sports racing car when the 1954 Ferrari 375-Plus
sold for £10.7 million. A 1902 De Dietrich sold for astounding £998,300 and one
of the most iconic sports cars of the 20th Century – a 1975 Lamborghini Countach
LP400 ‘Periscopio’ Coupé – sold for a new world record £953,500.



I thought that this Bonnet Mascot by Antoire Bofill from 1910 must have been
seen by the creators of Shrek’s Puss in Boots.Vettel’s Helmet as worn at the
2013 Monaco Grand Prix and uniquely painted for the event was sold for charity
and went for £20,000.
Mario loved this Golf cart moulded from a original Fiat Jolly. It was made in
2008 and used by Lord March at the 2008 Revival. Fiat looked into manufacturing
a limited number but changed their mind 1935 Aston Martin Ulster My personal
favourite was this 1939-40 Aston Martin Atom factory prototype concept car.In
the middle of the auction marquee we saw this box in the floor protecting a rare
orchid growing underneath.Manufacturers
Since the demise of the London Motor Show, Thursday’s Moving Motorshow has taken
it’s place and perspective buyers can test drive new cars up the hill climb.
Most of the major manufacturers attend and all vie with each other to attract
the publics attention. Many new models are launched at the show and various
concept cars are on display. The manufacturers stands have become very luxurious
with multi stories and interactive features to entertain the family. Several of
them have exclusive areas for owners on presentation of your keys. We had great
hospitality from Jaguar including lovely little pies. Not so sure about a
concept crossover Jaguar. Look at the size of those wheels! This Nissan concept
was the result of a competition run around the world for young designers. Nissan
were so impressed with the London teams designs that they had this concept built
in three weeks. Another Nissan concept produced from the top results from a
project where people around the world were asked to interactively design a car
by making selections while wearing an virtual reality headset. Quite an
interesting result with a retro feel but why in ‘hearing aid’ beige? Great
lengths were taken to hide new cars to the moment of their unveiling but driving
a covered car blind seemed to be taking it to new extremes.Formula 1
One of the big things about the FoS is that most of the F1 teams come along and
run their ‘almost’ current cars. This year a bigger ‘pit lane’ had been added
with more space which made it easier to see the cars although we didn’t venture
anywhere near when the drivers were around. McLaren, Red Bull, Mercedes,
Ferrari, Williams and Renault were on all display. It is very interesting to see
how the cars have developed and until you see them together what you consider
being a modern formula 1 car such as this 1994 Benetton Ford, that Schumacher
drove, now looks very old fashioned and many of them look incredibly wide.



Even at the festival, lots of kit was required. Current F1 cars are extremely
complicated. It was nice to see that Williams have a tribute to Ayrton Senna on
the nose. While the Mercedes has a rather cute little grill.
The ‘garages’ are very slick. The F1 cars attract the most attention, the worlds
journalists and photographers gathered around the Ferrari awaiting festival
newcomer Kimi Räikkönen!Part two to follow tomorrow (hopefully)…
