Experience Motor-Racing History With Extreme Element
Goodwood is among the best-known racing tracks in the whole of the UK.
United Kingdom (ePressReleases.org) Aug 20, 2011 - Since 1948, the converted Royal Air Force base near Chichester in Sussex has seen a veritable who's who of racers pushing pedals to the metal, from the marathon 'Goodwood Nine Hours' races that ran during the 1950s right the way through to the contemporary 'Goodwood Festival of Speed', a yearly hill climb between classic racing cars that has become an annual tradition since 1993. Jim Clark and Jack Sears competed here, and it is the place where Donald Campbell first demonstrated the Bluebird CN7 that would later earn him the land speed record.
Now you can be part of that heritage too. With a range of driving experience days offered by Extreme Element, the UK's leading extreme sports specialist, speed freaks will get the chance to live out their wildest fantasies at this prestigious home of British motorsport.
Extreme Element has offered a wide variety of extreme experiences through its website ever since it was founded in 2006 as an unconventional version of other 'gift day' sites. Experiences range from skydiving to tank driving, sphereing and, of course, track driving.
Beyond the ever-popular Aston Martin driving days and Ferrari driving experiences, the latest motorsport days on offer through the company website offer you the opportunity to join a pantheon of sporting greats by heading out on to the hallowed track. For £135 enthusiasts can drive a selection of famous American muscle cars around the two-and-a-half-mile circuit.
The Ford Mustang GT is possibly the most famous muscle car of them all. It has been in production for almost as long as races have been held at Goodwood. The world-renowned motor plant founded by Henry Ford has been producing these huge beasts since 1964, and the latest model boasts a 5-litre engine and top speed of 160mph.
With its huge 8-litre engine the Dodge Viper can accelerate from 0-60mph in below four seconds, and you can experience the extreme adrenaline rush for yourself with Extreme Element.
There's no muscle car more redolent of driving through the States than the Chevrolet Corvette, however. The latest generation of the all-American classic famed in story and song, the C5, offers all the grunt of a 5.7-litre v8 engine.
Of course, all this Americana may seem heretical to you. Have no fear, however - if you want to get a little patriotic and dewy-eyed during your driving experience, Extreme Element can also help. Your £135 can also buy you a day with a creature of refined British speed, the Jaguar D-Type. The predecessor of the iconic E-Type offers a classic driving experience at a classic British track. Rule Britannia, indeed!
