Goodwood Festival of Speed 2008 - PRESS DAY

The PRESS DAY for the 2008 Goodwood Festival of Speed was held on 9th April, and Nissan UK brought along an R35 GT-R. They also invited me to bring along the 1971 KPGC10 race car to join in the fun, and I was very happy to oblige.

First time that the first-generation ( C10-series ) GT-R and the latest-generation GT-R will have been seen side-by-side in the UK for sure:

Any news on what will be on the Nissan stand - would be nice to see all the
G35 colours together.
Hope we all get an invite like we did with the 350Z - that was a brilliant day out.

Thanks. They are R.S. Watanabe 8-spoke, type 'R' in magnesium, front 9.5j x 15 and rear 11j x 15. I was running it for the first time on Japanese-made Dunlop slicks, and it was quite lively on the high crown and undulating road surface up the hill with them being so cold.

I'd prefer to run it on 14 inch diameter wheels and tyres to be more period-correct. The wheels are not a problem to find, but good 14 inch tyres of that width are........

Fantastic car, isn't it? Moss drove it up the hill. I was looking at it closely and the patina is just mind-boggling. I believe Mr Heerema drove it there, and drove it home again. Excellent.



On the R35 subject, I found it interesting to talk to a few people that were not naturally inclined to be impressed by the new GT-R on the reputation of the previous cars alone. I got the feeling that this GT-R is being taken more seriously by true car people than any other has in the past, and it really is causing a bit of a stir. Hard to explain fully, but the car does have enormous presence - backed up with the reputation that it has been building for its dynamics - and was not out of its depth in such illustrious company. It has star quality in spades.

Imageshack seems to have lost that first image for some reason, so here it is again just in case anyone was curious:

Great photos!!! Can't believe it's already been close to a year since the masked R35 appeared there.
