FV10 at Goodwood Festival of Speed

FV10 may well have been the new boys in the F1 Paddock at this year's Festival of Speed but they certainly didn't look out of place.

Over the three days of the Festival FV10 had the opportunity to show the level of presentation and service Tim Preston, FV10 Team Principle, could achieve with his highly experienced team of ex F1 engineers and technicians by running a clients 2003 Jordan EJ13 which was the last Grand Prix winner for engine partner Cosworth and FV10's 'works' 2004 R5 Jaguar formerly driven by Mark Webber. The Jaguar driving was shared between ex F3 champion and official FV10 test and driver coach, Marc Hynes and multiple Grand Prix winner Johnny Herbert, who was flown in specifically for the Saturday sessions.

Johnny commented after his drive in the R5:- "What an awesome experience to get behind the wheel again of an superbly prepared and run F1 Jaguar and to work with such a professional team."

The EJ13 was driven throughout the weekend by its new owner Andrew Tate, who professed himself "delighted" with his weekends work. Andrew's experience is what FV10 is all about.

FV10 co founder Jonathan Kaiser said: - "The Goodwood Festival of Speed is the perfect showcase for the FV10 programme and we are honoured and delighted to have been positioned in the Formula One Paddock area".

John Barlow head of FV10 sales was equally as enthusiastic and indicated that after meeting with many serious clients over the three days a number of new customers would be announced in the near future.
