Porsche 908/3 at the Goodwood Festival of Speed, 2010 - Click above to watch video after the jump (http://www.autoblog.com/2010/07/06/video-goodwood-2010-taking-the-hill/#continued)
There are plenty of reasons to get excited about the Goodwood Festival of Speed (http://www.autoblog.com/2010/06/27/toyota-to-celebrate-rally-heritage-at-goodwood/). The annual shindig is a mecca for metal from all over the world - old and new. Motorsports (http://www.autoblog.com/2009/04/15/bmw-motorsport-division-to-sell-dedicated-racing-components/) events from across the go-fast spectrum make it onto the schedule and there's even plenty of auto-themed art to keep the masses entertained when they aren't huffing tire smoke. In a word, the event is bliss for anyone with even a passing interest in the automobile.
But the grand daddy of it all has to be the Hill Climb (http://www.autoblog.com/2010/02/21/video-icelandic-hillclimbing-at-its-finest/). At 1.16 miles, the course features nine turns, a looming stone wall and enough hay to feed all the cows in Wisconsin for a week. Last year brought out a rash of new high-dollar supercars, including the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG (http://www.autoblog.com/model/sls+amg) and the Lexus LFA (http://www.autoblog.com/model/lfa), and as a result, there were plenty of manufacturers on hand to show off their newest hardware. While we were lurking the grounds (http://www.autoblog.com/tag/goodwood+festival+of+speed/) and looking at all the shiny conveyances, drivers were blasting across the grounds and recording their exploits. We've rounded up 10 of the best videos from the hill and arranged them in no particular order. Sure, some of them are more entertaining than others, but all of them are better than what you're doing at work, right? Hit the jump (http://www.autoblog.com/2010/07/06/video-goodwood-2010-taking-the-hill/#continued) to get started.Continue reading Video: Goodwood 2010 - Taking the hill (http://www.autoblog.com/2010/07/06/video-goodwood-2010-taking-the-hill/)
