Try Not To Cry As A Ford RS200 Eats Some Hay Bales

So many cars have navigated the famous Goodwood hillclimb unscathed over the years, but occasionally it can go badly wrong – that was the case for this Ford RS200 Evo 2 run this year

Driving a classic, iconic car up the Goodwood hillclimb at the Festival of Speed must be a deeply exciting but equally terrifying experience. If it goes wrong, chances are it’ll not only be spectacular but also quite expensive.

That doesn’t stop most drivers from heroically going full pelt and wowing the crowds, but sometimes that can lead to crashes. It didn’t even take a day for someone to shunt at the 2017 FOS, with rallycross legend Pat Doran crashing a 1986 Ford RS200 Evo 2 rally car.

He got it wrong on the entry to Molecomb corner, looked to have corrected it, but then drifted into the barriers. Doran was OK, and even bowed to the crowds, but the same couldn’t be said for the car.

Lie down, try not to cry…

Damn! Looks like the top airvent/body of the car was loose and the air hitting it created lift on the rear.

Still better then just have it parked in your garage to watch it by yourself

I was watching from outside Goodwood house and as it came past I thought hes pushing that very hard for a practice run. Then he buggered up.

At least the rs200 might think that the hay is delicious

With as much as those cars are worth, it’s pretty much guaranteed that the car will be rebuilt.
