I was there on Saturday watched Senna’s break down right in front of me! Did you see the blokes in the army carrying the car up the Hill!

These cars braking really shows us how strung out the machines are. They have mechanics preparing them for hours or days to make a lap and they break.

I think if anyone was to do burnouts in Ayrtons car it should be Bruno. If he ever makes it to F1 Lewis is gonna hate him for this. They might fight over helmet design as well. I still don’t see how Lewis just decided to incorporate Ayrton’s helmet design in his own.

Thanks for the report.

You may actually be correct about it damaging Bruno’s chances for an F-1 drive. It all depends on if the plans were for him to do a burn-out, or if that was something Bruno was planning as a surprise. If he decided to prepare for that on his own, and that’s what blew the gearbox, knocking the car out of the festival, I have little doubt that it dinged his image with potential employers and may have cost him a ride for next year.

Yes because they could put new parts on it and it could be testing. The Renault at the Renault World Series this weekend was a 2009 livery painted on a 2008 car

Any news on how much life the Life had left in it and whether it actually managed to complete a run up the hill?

Of course the Life L190 just had to be true to form

And me, thinking that the car in restored form would properly make it up the hill… It just HAD to be unreliable as usual.

The FW16 is one of the best-looking F1 cars ever, I reckon. Stunning proportions and curves. Ban those high noses, I reckon.

Just remember bud, goodwood is not cheap for the full weekend. But if you have the money then fully worth it i reckon. I have never been, but would love to one day if i can persuade the missus to go visiting family at the same time as Goodwood.
