Michele at Goodwood
Although the S1 didn't run at Goodwood because of a timing belt failure,
Michele did actually complete a run in a "standard" Sport quattro that was
brought down overnight from Historic Motorsport at Daventry.
ITV have just screened a further Goodwood programme following today's coverage
of the German Grand Prix, making the best out of a rain-soaked weekend at
Goodwood. To judge from the ITV coverage, it only rained for a few minutes.
The only non-exotic car marque on display amongst the Lolas, Chaparrals,
Ferraris, etc., was Audi - with the Silver Arrow and the Sport quattro.
The coverage of Michele is excellent. First, because she was faster (in the
rain) than the Formula 1 cars - under a minute compared with Jody Schecter's 1
minute 20 seconds. Second, because they interviewed her after the run. It's a
_wonderful_ piece of video.
