Meta Gallery: 2006 Goodwood Festival of Speed - UPDATE 4
We officially regret not booking a last minute ticket to England to attend the 2006 Goodwood Festival of Speed, but alas, too late now. It's Monday morning and we were scouring the internet all weekend for photo galleries through which we could experience the event vicariously, but shutterbugs at this year's Goodwood seem to be slow with the uploads. Regardless, we've gathered together a few sites for a meta gallery of everything from Richard Petty's 1972 Charger to an ultra-rare Ferrari FXX to the Prodrive P2 Concept. Let the eyes feast...
Supercars.net – the first gallery we found on the net, the best with 5 pages of pics
Simon Gladwell – a good collection of static shots
Dan Freeman – a great set from a great photographer
Italiaspeed.com – many galleries updated all weekend along
Flickr photo group – a ten-member group of attendees with a nice gallery
PistonHeads – small gallery, implies more pics are forthcoming
SaabPhotos – lots of amateur shots
SaabPhotos 2 – more of the same
F1Fanatic – mostly F1 cars, but one good gallery of misc. shots
Hoeben.net – mostly racers, both vintage and modern
UKmotorsportspics – 2 galleries of outstanding action photography
4Car – small gallery of quality, professional action and candid pics
uberschnapp – 93 pics on and off hill, very nice
UPDATE - added Flickr Photo Group (thanks Craig M!)
UDPATE 2 - added PistonHeads
UPDATE 3 - added SaabPhotos, F1 Fanatic, Hoeben.net, UKmotorsports.net, discovered additional page at Supercars.net
UPDATE 4 - added 4Car and uberscnapp

You're wasting your time Remi, they're not going to build it. I spoke to a very pleasant fellow from Prodrive who told me that the car has already done it's job.
After the P2 set a storming time on the Top Gear track Prodrive had a call from Bentley asking them to sort out Bentley's traction control and handling. That's a big contract worth a lot of money. The P2 was only ever a shop window for Prodrive.
The Prodrive man also told me that they're not interested in F1 anymore because "no-one wants to run towards the back of the grid".

I know, I know... But I still hoping for a AWD coupe.
And forget about the Audi TT, it's a VW.

I'm with Remi, I'd love to see this chassis in one production form or another. I believe it's based off a sub-Impreza size Subaru platform, and since I'm reasonably certain that Prodrive preps some of Subie's WRC cars, perhaps we'll see some of this trickle down to the next gen STi.

Good choice of pics - the prodrive P2 - the car that made Clarkson vomit from cornering too fast!

It's too good to be a one-off. With the MR2 gone, some manufacturer needs to step up with an affordable mid-engine sports car.

Goodwood was great this year. There were some awesome cars to drool over - Love It, Love It, Love It.
Imagine a Supercar that was available on a sensible car lease, affordable to all men!
