Hey 8Club!

Very cool event! Lots of interesting vehicles and the filming was definitely exciting imo.

Goodwood is always good times.
Mazda was the main sponsor a few years back.

You'll have to excuse me but imo it's a joke how they get paraded around to different events. Plus having Patrick Dempsey and Valentino Rossi do parade laps are lame af publicity stunts. For real. I don't find it entertaining.

Just wanted to say that I escaped my self imposed paradigm in regards to the importance of racing heritage. To try and put it simply, as someone who always championed historical understanding, the thought of preserving historical racing history somehow escaped me. Most everything goes through some form of evolution and to not find a way to appreciate that within motorsports was a disservice. There's so much tech, ingenuity, engineering, spirit, etc from every era, it's wild to see what manufactures / teams did to overcome obstacles.

Goodwood is truly an amazing event and the reception for the Japanese race cars was nothing short of huge. Would love to attend the Festival one day.
