Goodwood Festival of Speed

[Johnny Bognor]

Today is the moving motor show at the Goodwood Festival of speed.

 

This morning, some punter took out a Honda Civic Mugan Type R on the indoor circuit. He floored it, crashed through a wall, went through the Jaguar stand and into a crowd of people.

 

He also managed to destroy the oldest surviving Jag E Type.

 

What a ****!

 

 

UPDATE: No fatalities, but four people injured

What!? Just, What?

 

Do they screen these people for competance before they set them behind the wheel of one of those things!?

I hope to be going on Saturday. Would sour the weekend somewhat if anyone has been killed. Hope this isn't true.

Don't seem to have been any major injuries.

Apparently you sign an insurance disclaimer to accept any liability. If you do not have your own insurance for motorsport events, you're not covered.

 

Apparently, the guy is claiming he blacked out. Yeah right.

I'm going on Saturday BTW. Anyone else going and want a lift?
