On track for Goodwood

I’ve just spotted a red Aston Martin DB7 in Arundel with a ‘Monaco’ sticker on the boot. And that can only mean one thing: the Goodwood Festival of Speed is just around the corner.

I’ll admit to having a soft spot for the FoS. Although it’s increasingly becoming a popular choice for a corporate day out, it’s still packed with enthusiasts. I was lucky enough to be there (thank you, PrimeTime Radio) as a guest of Renault a few years ago, where I lunched with former F1 driver Patrick Tambay. A charming chap. This year Lord March has managed to persuade all four current British F1 drivers to attend. Wonder if any of them will be staying locally?
