Around the Tracks: Goodwood Festival of Speed

When we’re not creating it ourselves, the CarAdvice team spends a lot of time finding and consuming motoring content from all over the world.

Here’s a handful of the articles, videos and social media posts that most caught our eye last week. Some of them are brand-new, others have been online for a while.

Enjoy them – just not too much, okay?

The Singer Vehicle Design DLS is the meanest 964 Porsche 911 ever made. We don't feel like that's an outrageous statement. Revealed last week, the car has been developed with Williams Grand Prix Engineering. It's a ripping take on the classic Porsche formula, driven flat-out up the Goodwood hill.

The Volkswagen I.D. R set a new record for electric cars up the hill at Goodwood, but it wasn't all smooth sailing for Romain Dumas. Check out this huge moment, expertly saved by the French driver.

Honda knows how to create a crazy lawnmower. With power from a CBR1000RR Fireblade engine, it'll hit 240km/h flat out. It'll also reportedly mow lawns at up to 80km/h, making it somewhat practical as well. Watch it wobble and bounce its way up the Goodwood hillclimb.

Who doesn't love a good wagon? The BTCC Volvo 850 is among the best-know performance wagons of all time, having terrorised circuits around Britain in the mid-1990s. Here, it runs up the hill with a dog (nope, not real) hanging out the window.
