Big displays, hundreds of fans and Formula One cars rushing up the hill... it must be the Goodwood Festival of Speed! This year Toyota have been able to bring their current 2005 challenger, the TF105, to impress the hundreds of fans who have lined the hill this weekend.
Like in the past 2 years, Toyota's Olivier Panis has been burning up the Goodwood tarmac in his Toyota Formula One car, but unlike other years, the team has been able to bring their current racer, the TF105.
As well as their latest Formula One car, the team has been running their 1965 Sports 800, the car which began their motorsport efforts. Juan Manuel Fangio II has also been on hand to drive his double championship-winning IMSA Toyota Eagle Mark III. Ex-F1 star Ukyo Katayama also made an appearance by putting a roof over his head with the Le Mans lap-record breaking Toyota GT-One.
But the most impressive piece of machinery the Toyota outfit brought has to be with mighty Castrol Tom’s Toyota Supra GT, which made its European debut this weekend.
This is Toyota's fourth showing at the Goodwood Festival of Speed which over the last few years has seen crowd numbers increase as well as manufacture attendance. It's not all about Grand Prix cars though; Sports Cars, Rally Cars and Touring Cars also attended the event and tackle the Goodwood hill in their own breath taking style.
