    The Timed Shootout at the Goodwood Festival of Speed presented by Mastercard produced some incredible action this weekend. Not every one of the fastest runs of the weekend came from the final. But over the four days we saw some amazing action from an awesome variety of machines. In the end our fastest cars were WRC machines, time attack creations, Formula 5000 cars, classic touring cars and even a van! We had Romain Dumas, Travis Pastrana, Scott Speed, Jake Hill and more in action all pushing as hard as they could for the fastest time.
