Goodwood 2009: The Wacky Racers
by Stuart Milne
A real-life Dick Dasterdly and Penelope Pitstop will be making an appearance at the Festival of Speed this year.
Fully-working replicas of the car-toon series have been built for the FoS and have proved popular with children over the last ten years.
This year, Penelope Pitstop's Compact Pussycat, the Slag Brothers' Boulder Mobile and Dick Dasterdly's Mean Machine joined Professor Pat Pending, Peter Perfect and the team on a tour around Goodwood – the first time they've been driven on public roads.
The complete set of Wacky Races cars and characters will be displayed on purpose-built desert set located on the Goodwood cricket pitch at the south side of the Festival of Speed.
