The Goodwood Festival of Speed
Every summer our friends over in England get together for a small hill climb event known as the Goodwood Festival of Speed. Now while many of our readers may not know about or have only heard about it in passing I assure you it is one of the Mecca’s of speed and is on the list of car events you must attend before you die. Hmm, I think I just came up with a new article idea. Back to Goodwood for now. The Festival of Speed (FoS) was founded in Lord March who wanted to bring motorsport back to the Goodwood Estate and boy did he hit a home run. That first year saw 25,000 spectators but now numbers approach 150,000 attendees. The event has become so popular that it is not uncommon for super car makers to show new technology at the hill climb. You old school IG fans will surely remember our Virginia City Hill Climb coverage so let’s see how our friends across the pond do it.
Pictured above is an Ariel Atom. A lot of our regular readers might not know much about it but is considered one of the ultimate track day cars. With nothing left to waste and virtually no body work it’s super light and with several engine choices it has plenty of power to boot. No doubt it’s a real blast up the hill.

Shelby Super Snake Wallpaper
The Shelby Super Snake is one of the baddest Mustangs of all time. Pumping out 605hp with it’s 5.4L supercharged engine it rockets to 60 in 3.5 seconds. All the tire roasting power is fitted under the hood of what is one of the meanest looking Mustangs of all time. Topped off with some sweet Super Snake badges and the whole package is one of the coolest new cars on the road. So when I stumbled across this one I just had to get some shots including one of the badge, with the hood up to adorn you Ford fan’s desktop backgrounds.
So Wallpaper Wednesday rolls on with a hat tip to the Shelby Mustang. If your wallpaper needs a bit of sprucing up or if the Dodge wallpaper we posted earlier just isn’t your thing hit the jump for two sizes to fit what ever monitor you are running.
