Whereas there’s no scarcity of smoky burnouts and tomfoolery, some take the hill climb very severely, difficult others for the quickest time up the run. This yr’s Shootout outcomes are in, and it was a runaway victory for one funky automobile and manufacturing facility group.
Romain Dumas had the quickest time of the day, clocking a 43.98-second run within the Ford Supervan 4.2. The electrical Transit tackled the Goodwood hill in a chaotic style, placing its 1,400 horsepower and as much as 4,400 kilos of downforce to good use. The highest 10 instances embody:
