Looking forward to SpeedWeek Shootout we decided to look back at some of the craziest runs up Goodwood Hill over its 27 years of running. There have been some truly mighty ascents over the years, some mighty in their speed and others mighty by their flamboyance, so trying to work out which were the craziest was quite a challenge. But these six will always feature somewhere very near the top of the pile.
Oliver Solberg’s 2019 hillclimb run in his WRX Citroën DS3, where he found himself with masses of understeer for the first corner and so balanced that out with a frankly ridiculous angle of opposite lock, left everyone in the temporary GRR office at Goodwood House with their jaws on the floor. Then there was the run of the 1905 Darracq in 2015, where the former land-speed record car (it managed 122.45mph on Daytona Beach in 1906) careered up the Hill in a little over a minute – not bad for a car the pre-dates the World War I…
So, who will grab the fastest time in SpeedWeek’s Sunday Shootout?
