Olly Clark, driving a Subaru Impreza, wins the Goodwood Festival of Speed shootout for the second straight year.

Olly Clark brought the curtain down on the 2016 Goodwood Festival of Speed with an incredible time of 46.29-seconds in his Subaru Impreza "Gobstopper II'.

The repeat winner's speed across the line was an impressive 225.6 kilometres per hour.

He eclipsed former Indy 500 winner Kenny Brack in the Lanzante McLaren P1 GTR who recorded a time of 47.07-seconds and end speed of 217kmh. Racing specialist Lanzante, which prepared the McLaren F1 which won the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1995, is to build just six of these Hybrid machines in collaboration with the British manufacturer.

Arguably the most impressive run, however, came from third-place man Mike Skinner. The American ace steered his Nascar Toyota Tundra pick-up truck to the top of the Hill in a belief-beggaring 50.44-seconds, crossing the line at 212.9kmh.

Impressive as the top three times were, they still fall well short of the record for the 1.86 kilometre driveway of Lord March at Goodwood estate which was set in 1999 by Nick Heidfeld who completed the course in a staggering 41.6 seconds behind the wheel of a McLaren MP4/13 Formula One car.
