This years Goodwood Festival of Speed photo package has now been compiled and is now ready for sale.
There are a few major changes to this year’s compilation from my previous Goodwood releases. The first change is that I have upgraded my camera equipment. I am now using a digital SLR camera. So I have done away with the film camera I used for the action shots in the past. This means that the picture clarity is a lot clearer than before when the pictures were transferred to CD by the photo processors.
Secondly, due to the upgrade in equipment, the pictures are of a higher resolution, which means that it was impossible to put the pictures onto CD. So this year, the Goodwood FoS release will be on a single DVD, rather than the double CD’s that I offered the past few years. This has also allowed me to again include several other events that I have attended late last year and during the first part of 2005. more on these later. Please be sure that you are capable of viewing a DVD disc either on your PC or TV and DVD player, before placing your order.
Again every picture is sorted into categories and as per last year, the “On the Hill” action shots are again sorted into the correct batches in which they ran up the hill.
Most files in the Goodwood FOS section have been named along with the year of manufacture, type and designation. There are a couple however that I am stuck on so have had to leave these nameless.

Well that’s a run down of what you will find on the 2005 DVD release. Hopefully there is something there to please everyone ! In total there is 4880 files split between 87 folders.
The cost for the DVD, is a very reasonable £8.00p for UK orders or $15 US for overseas orders. These prices include postage and packing costs. This is a slight increase over last years double CD package, but is to cover increased postage costs and Pay Pal fees. However you are getting more than double what you got on a double CD last year. The DVD will be posted out in a bubble pack envelope.
I can accept payment in either cash , cheque or Pay Pal in Pounds Sterling. US Dollars in cash, or funds via Pay Pal. Pay Pal is my preferred method of payment as it does away with actually sending payment via the post and the transaction is instant and easy to keep track of who has ordered and paid. So I would encourage this method as much as possible. I also accept International Money orders, made out in Pounds Sterling only. I under no circumstances accept Western Union Money orders having experienced great difficultly trying to cash one in the past. In my opinion, they aren’t worth the paper they are printed on.
If you are interested in ordering my DVD, please contact me OTB at
csc24@blueyonder.co.uk and I will send you my postal address and details on how to send payment. Please include “Goodwood” in the e mail subject title so that I recognise your e mail as an order and so it doesn’t get deleted as spam. Thanks.
I would appreciate any orders from the USA, that wish to pay by sending the funds via post, in US Dollars, to contact me soon and send the payment before September, as I have a trip to the USA planned for late September, so that I can use the funds from those orders whilst on my trip to the US. Alternatively, you can pay by Pay Pal and I could draw the funds from my linked bank account before my trip. Thanks.
Regards
Chris Clark
