Goodwood Festival of Speed: Live report

Autoblog UK is reporting live from the Goodwood Festival of Speed today. We've braved the traditional A27 queue and half mile walk from the car park to bring you all the action from the UK's annual motoring extravaganza.

The early sights and sounds are already impressive – a plethora of modern supercars (and not so supercars) were the first up the hill, followed by some of the epic machinery built at the turn of the century. The crescendo of the world's first successful V8 in the Darracq 200HP starting up was worth the ticket price alone.

We'll be updating the website with coverage throughout the day so be sure to click back and catch up with the best Goodwood has to offer.
