The Speed 8, a prototype that got all the way up to first place in the 2003 24 Hours of Le Mans event, was recently threw at the Goodwood hillclimb, as part of the 2013 Festival of Speed preview day.

The British Racing Green-dressed machine offered people around a delicious view, performing a delicious dynamic burnout at the starting line.
