The Tul-aris GP bike will be at the Goodwood Festival of Speed this year on June 24-26th. Dr. Rob Tuluie, the constructor of the Tul-aris GP bike, brought the bike to the UK one year ago, when he began work as Head of Research and Development for the Renault Formula One team, located near Oxford, UK. The Goodwood estate is located about 60 miles south of London, UK and is the largest and most exquisite event in the world of modern and vintage racing cars, along with motorcycles and airplanes. The event is held on the grounds of Lord March’s Goodwood estate, a racing fan’s dream, which features a Hillclimb track, a history GP track, an airfield and a horse racing stadium. All machines are there by invitation only and hence it is a great honor and fitting occasion for the Tul-aris to begin its post-racing era at Goodwood. The selection of cars and motorcycles at Goodwood is simply amazing. For example, last year featured the very best of Honda’s GP bike collection, as well as MotoGP bikes, vintage MV’s, racing sidecars, all of Ayrton Senna F1 cars, as well as every single winning Monaco Grand Prix car, a collection of Mercedes Benz Silver Arrows, Brooklands speed record cars, modern F1 cars, tons of historic Grand Prix cars, today’s Supercars, present and past LeMans winners, famous rally cars, etc. – over 500 cars and a smaller but select group of motorcycles. All bikes and cars are situated in an open and un-restricted paddock, allowing unparalleled access it’s not often one can stand next to a running Formula One car or has to step aside to let a horde of ear-piercing Honda 6-cylinder GP bikes pass! Pictures, entry lists and ticket information is available at http://www.goodwood.co.uk/ (Tickets are limited to 100,000 and the event sells out regularly). The reason the Tul-aris was invited is that this year’s theme is International Racing Machines and the Tul-aris was chosen as the US representative of an independently-built GP bike. Besides being unique, the machines invited to Goodwood are real, proven race winners, not hyped-up design, concept or marketing exercises – in fact the cars and bikes there are often the actual ones driven by the original famous drivers and riders last year Mike Hailwood rode his father’s Isle of Man winning Ducati, while Agostini paraded an MV Augusta. Wayne Gardner, Carl Fogarty, Jamie Whitham, Paul Smart Jr, John Reynolds, John Surtees, Stirling Moss, Derek Bell, Jackie Oliver, Jaques Villeneuve, Rene Arnaux, Damon Hill are all Goodwood regulars the list goes on and on. As an added incentive, this year’s Formula One World Championship leader, Fernando Alonso, will be at Goodwood racing his 2005 Renault Formula One car in the hillclimb. So, if you make The Festival of Speed this year, be sure to stop by the Tul-aris pit and enjoy the sound and sight of America’s fastest GP bike running once again.
