Below is one of my runs up the hill via the in-car camera.

Dunlop Tires invited me to bring the Pup to their Goodwood Festival site for an internet interview. During the discussion prior to the interview, they mentioned that 170,000,000 people were logged onto their site that morning. The interview was too long as a video to upload as one unit. This is the first half of the interview.

Below is the second half of the Dunlop Tires interview.

Travis' first run up the hill viewed from the in-car camera. They stop him briefly at the start line because the Birdcage Maserati ahead of him crashed. Note the finish line is about three quarters of the way up the hill, but drivers have to cruise up to the top and wait for everyone to finish before they all come back down. Unfortunately the in-car camera did not record his second run.

One of my earlier runs.

Travis makes his first run up the hill. Announcer continues to talk about him and the Pup after he drives past and they are showing the next car on the MegaTV.

Travis takes his last run up the hill on Sunday. Everything went really well for both of our runs the entire weekend. We have in-camera videos that we will post as soon as possible.

I take my last run up the hill on Sunday morning shown via video camera and MegaTV. Best run of the weekend.

When you are on the track, they show your car on the mega tv screen, just like the Pup is shown here, so the crowds can see the cars further up the hill. After my first run, I was then interviewed by the Goodwood people, which was also shown on the tv screen. More to come after next run.


Alright! Finally out on the track. They send a car out to go up the hill approximately every 30 seconds. Unfortunately, a car ahead of me had problems and stopped on the track, so they red flagged me to stop until they moved him out of the way and then I had to just drively slowly to the top. Hopefully run two this afternoon won't have any problems.
Cars in my group are lined up, ready to go out on the grid. Thousands of people are here watching and taking photographs.
Arrived at Goodwood. Car arrived safely and I'm getting ready to go up the hill for the first run.
