I have just returned from the Goodwood Festival of Speed and spotted Kazunori Yamauchi having a busy time. I spotted him meeting Sebastien Loeb and then going for a quick spin with Loeb on the Rally Stage. He then met up with with Kris Meeke and went for a spin in a Peugeot 207 S2000. He also drove the 1965 Jaguar XJ13 up the hill climbe course.

Please enjoy some of the various pictures I took.

Sweet pics!

Must go to Goodwood eventually. All these major stars, and star cars... I'd be in heaven

wow! Kaz was definitely pretty busy that day...then again, getting a chance to drive those types of cars...feel free to make me that 'busy' any day of the week!

And just for fun...here's a little 'caption' I made for one of the pics...the expression on Kaz's face just had me laughing and some how, what you see as the actual caption...just sorta came by accident.

Sweet pics and funny caption! haha

There are some cameras showed in the pics, so maybe we would see it on GT-TV.

I'd love to interview him (KY)

My first question would be "Instead of swanning around visiting car shows, can you please pull your finger out and release the game pal?"

or - "if the games ready to be released then do it you annoying little man"

or "Are you taking the freaking ...."

i'd have one of my friends to stay around and listen to his response (as I'm being escorted off the premises by KY's heavies)

That xj13 is one beautiful car.

Gaz Vonhammer · Jul 07 2009, 9:06 AM

Good pics,he must have more fun than any other game developer,probably the most stress but I bet days like that make it all worthwhile.

patriotzero · Jul 07 2009, 9:21 AM

What model jaguar is he driving? He should have took the XJR9 for a ride instead.

It was a 1965 Jaguar XJ13.

As soon as he met Loeb he quickly put on a helmet and rushed off for a lap on the rally course. I was in the middle of a tugging batle with a TV camera man for best position so had little time to ask a question.

I also spotted them in the F1 paddocks.
