One of the most eclectic and electric events in the world of motor sport, the Goodwood Festival of Speed begins today with a few practice runs for all the cars and motorcycles that will be taking part in Sunday’s hillclimb competition. As well as live music and air displays, you might even be able to spot some of Britain’s most talented drivers amongst the visitors – as well as Jenson Button, David Coulthard and Anthony Davidson, man of the moment Lewis Hamilton will be making an appearance on Sunday.
A world away, then, from the trucker jailed earlier this week for steering with his knees while eating spaghetti from a saucepan. Having seemingly strayed straight from the set of Wacky Races, this reckless character was openly branded stupid by his own solicitor. How’s my driving? Erm, not so good.
Don’t know about you, but even up to speeds approaching the sound barrier we’d feel safer with Hamilton behind the wheel. Get the NavPix here…
