Goodwood Festival of Speed

[Doudeau]

Anyone else had an invite to drive a Tesla at the FoS? I signed up but it’s unclear how much fun it might be. Any insights?

This is the invite I received ….

You're invited to drive Model 3 or Model Y on the race circuit at the Goodwood Festival of Speed on Thursday, July 13.

During your visit, you’ll have the opportunity to explore Model S, Model 3, Model X and Model Y on display—as well as our home battery Powerwall.

I’m collecting money for Greenpower Education Trust, one of this years FOS official charities.

The registration page I saw said it was a test drive on local roads, in which case they’re not very well suited to sampling the performance.

If you get on the circuit though that’s obviously a different matter!

Also if the cars need charging the fastest chargers at Goodwood are in the circuit paddock area (or the Goodwood Hotel), a couple of 50 kWh CCS at both locations if memory serves.

Will also be there on Thursday taking bro in law courtesy of the free tickets by being a GRRC member.
