Goodwood Festival of Speed 2009

Thought this might start to get boring after a few years running, but nope, it doesn't! Up at 4:30 this morning to make sure I was there for opening (7am), lovely and quiet (relatively) for the first hour, which was great for grabbing some static shots.

The action shots are a little different this year, did loads of panning last year so mostly went for nice tight sharp shots this time around.

Brilliant pics Chris, and good to see you again. I'm still downloading and sorting through mine at the moment, it was a cracking day though.

Quite amused that I walked around the corner and then straight into you, especially considering there were about 50,000 people there!

I enjoyed it more than last year, variety of cars seemed better and they seemed to pay more attention to the Friday this year (more famous drivers, Red Arrows etc)

Stunning pics as usual Chris. Loving the one of GTO and the Motorcycle.

Nick Mason's GTO, being driven by his wife, iirc.

Peter Fonda is driving the motorcycle in that pic, replica of the one used in Easy Rider (original was stolen), quite odd seeing a super-famous actor blatting it up the hill on a bike!

Virtually all my 'keepers' were taken on the house side of the hillclimb (cars going from my right to left whilst going up the hill), it's much quieter over there and there are some fantastic angles that you don't have to fight for space to get!

I got fed up of people pushing in or standing right on top of me on the 'normal' side, even though I was right at the top where it's generally quieter. One guy walked along, stood at the rope with his video camera and pushed forward on it as far as possible, blocking the view for me and everyone else on the same stretch or rope fencing, idiot!

nice, i'll give that a bash next year. I was mainly over the other side, and got stuck in the middle of the rally stages for an hour without being let out, and there were too many trees to get anything decent up there.

I'll get there earlier next year, and get a 3 day pass. Was a cracking day, loved it!

Plenty of nice metal there, a car geeks dream, quite frankly, especially if you're up on your racing car history.

Loads of stuff I didn't get shots of, Panamera (looks like a Top Gear Porsche Limo, horrific!), the 2 Veyrons. More Sportscar/Le Mans cars than I could count as well, pretty much every remotely famous car you can think of.

Amazing pics, love the ones of Peter Fonda and the Lambo.

We had a Eurofighter Typhoon today instead of the Red Arrows, the noise was incredible.

The RUF looks like its been photoshopped in, so sharp.

Jesse James in the baja truck thing?

Yup, I think Sandra Bullock was/is there with him all weekend as well. Amazing truck, 1 metre of suspension travel apparently, cost over $1m to design/build, it just drove over things like jumps like they were not even there, stupidly fast as well.

Excellent shots.

You really seem to have gone from strength to strength this year, your head on 'fast shutter speed' shots are the greatest improvement to my mind.

Good stuff.
