Goodwood Festival of Speed video and gallery

By Sarah-Jayne Harrison Motor Shows 07 July 2009 11:00 We've published our main Goodwood Festival of Speed 2009 blogs and galleries here – but we've come back with so many more snapshots and handycam video clips that we've pulled them altogether on this page. So here's a rag-bag mixture of amateur handiwork from our team of roving reporters. It's a rough 'n' ready assortment of photos and videos and will hopefully share some of the high-octane feel and noise at the Goodwood Festival of Speed.Click through our gallery to the right and scroll to the foot of the page for the video clips of cars piling up Lord March's front driveway in front of 130,000 enthusiasts.

Why the Stingray's $52K sticker should come with an asterisk

General Motors resisted the urge to jack up the price on the 2014 Corvette Stingray, despite major enhancements on the seventh-generation sports car. The $51,995* sticker for the coupe, which is expected to hit showrooms by September, is just 1,400 bucks more than the current model, even with its more powerful engine, better fuel economy and vastly improved interior. Why the asterisk?

Ford Cortina: 50 years ago today…

Ford are celebrating 50 years since the first Ford Cortina was launched and changed the car landscape forever. The Ford Cortina went on to sell an impressive 4.3 million during its twenty year life, eventually turning in to the Ford Sierra and then in to the Ford family car of today – the 2013 Ford Mondeo (which, interestingly, can be had with the 1.0 litre EcoBoost engine – smaller even than the 1200cc of that first Cortina). That first Cortina was the start of Ford’s dominance of the UK car market, leading to an unbroken run of 35 years as the best selling car brand with most of the Cortinas, almost 3 million of them, built at Dagenham – in the days Ford actually built cars here.
