Captured: Spania GTA Spano Drives Goodwood

Features I By John Beltz Snyder I July 15, 2013
The Spanish supercar called the Spania GTA Spano took to the hill climb race at the Goodwood Festival of Speed. We’ve seen static shots of the car before, in black, so to see the car in motion out on the course in bright yellow paint is a welcome sight.

Also, we couldn’t help but notice the camera mounted to the top of the vehicle. We’re hoping that means we’ll be able to enjoy a video of the GTA Spano tackling the hill at Goodwood very soon.

In this event, the 50 best supercars chosen by the Organising Committee took part in this Supercar Run. It consists in two daily hill climbs on the famous hill with its 2,57 km run in the parklands surrounding Goodwood House, the ancestral home of the Dukes of Richmond and Gordon.
 
This year Spania GTA participated in this event for the second year running, which was filled with great expectations and with some 190,000 visitors attended according to Organising Committee data.
 
The official Spania GTA test driver, Borja García, delighted fans with the GTA Spano yellow vehicle, which was one of the most applauded by the public.
 
On Thursday 11th July, the event started with the Moving Motor Show, in which enthusiasts could see the latest car models on the market. Then Friday saw the turn of the traditional hill climb by the vehicles divided into various groups, ranging from classical cars to F1 vehicles.
