Ricky Collard wowed the crowds at the Goodwood festival of speed by racing his BMW M4 DTM up into the top 10 in the timed shoot out as well as setting the fastest lap ever recorded in a DTM car at the hill. For 21-year old Englishman, it was his first Goodwood appearance. “A mega weekend,” beamed the BMW Motorsport Junior and DTM reserve driver. “Just great that I could participate in the event with such a fantastic car.”
While the 180,000 spectators made for a buzzing atmosphere in brilliant sunshine
the 1.86-kilometre hill-climb track demanded maximum concentration from the drivers, any small mistake could send them hurtling towards the famous hay bails. Collard appreciates the unique character of Goodwood’s hill-climb track although it was his first appearance in the event. “Just unique and old-school – a mix I really like.”
