Well I thought I would go and see what all the fuss is about at the Goodwood Revival and why people go back year after year...
What I found was an amazing experience from famous drivers to great days of racing...
Stayed at Madgwick Corner all day as, one it was very, very busy and two I decided to go on Sunday...

Lets Go...

#1 Now thats what I call a Course Car....

Do you know why Martin went off, or have any other information? I've seen other photos of the accident, and is car essentially looked peeled open afterwards. He was very lucky to only get away with a broken elbow, that's for sure!

He was a very, very lucky boy, dont know what started the accident has I only picked it up once he was on the grass heading for the barrier, but I suppose thats life behind a camera lens...

#5 is lovely. Would have been nice to see it a bit bigger on here, so i'll keep an eye on your gallery :)

Good catch on #7 too. If i were driving i think the car damage would be a hell of a lot more painful than the broken elbow.

Nice shots Danny.

I think you should send that one to Autosport and MN. And how did you get a ticket? :p

great to meet you Danny, yet again you are where the action is, once again so am I.

It wasn't his elbow I can confirm I was his forearm. I could have confirmed that before today as it had a bend in it where it shouldn't have, but I wanted to wait until something official had come out.

Some great shots and well done at catching a car that left the track at about 120mph and then catching the mess after. Better than the bloody Cameraman did.

I am liking picture's 2 and 5. obviously 7 but that has me in it so that instantly makes it marvelous

Cheers for the update on the driver my friend, seeing it happen in front of me was scary enough, I am amazed the driver got away with not having anymore serious injuries then his arm...A very lucky man in my eyes...

Cheers for all the comments Dan, meet up at Brands for the WTCC maybe...

Yes I did indeed Andy, how about you, as this was my first time, the only thing I would do different next year is to dress up, blend into the crowd rather then stand out...
