If i can get some free tickets from my sis-in-law at Rolls Royce. Great day out but bloody expensive!

 

[Washboard Didgets]

I've been 4 times in the last 5 years I think. Haven't got a ticket yet, but thinking of going on the Sunday.

It is a great day out - hope the weather doesn't ruin it!

Dont forget your anorak.

 

[Tim Over Whelmed]

No anorak required.

Normally go but apparantly the family holiday is more important?

 

[Tim Over Whelmed]

Out of interest does anyone on here attend the Goodwood Breakfast Club?

 

[DanielT]

I will be there on Friday. I've wanted to go for years, but this will be my first time! I'm a Goodwood JCL!

Went on Sunday last year. Got there for the gates opening (about 7) and it wasnt very busy. Didn't start getting packed til 10. Amazing day if you love motors.

 

[Foolg]

Just put two tickets for Friday up on the ticket exchange, may as well put something here incase anyone wants to make me an offer. Going on the Saturday now instead.

The breakfast club is good as well. As long as you get the weather obviously.

Never been but always wanted to. Young Malcolm was up for it this year so booked tickets today. Hope the weather improves. Any tips for what time to get there, best parking etc. Cheers.

Not this year but I intend to do the Goodwood Revival later in the year. Gonna go the whole hog and dress up in period gear this time.

 

[Tim Over Whelmed]

Ah the revival ... a sea of motors and stocking tops ...

 

[BUTTERBALL]

Went to the fireworks at Goodwood last night, absolutely brilliant despite the weather. Not sure about the FOS, but the revival sounds brillaint.

Not been on Sunday as I usually go on Friday but in my experience certainly you can get a good view of the action without a ladder. Best advice for first timers is don`t buy grandstand tickets (a lot more money and you will spend the day lookiing around the show so won`t really have time to sit down) and leave early ,very early if possible, but don`t take the A27 route as there is usually long tailbacks. If you get time the rally stage is well worth a look.

. If you get time the rally stage is well worth a look.

Agreed, if you have never seen rallying you will appreciate that those guys are nutters as you walk through the woods with cars just flying past you. Quite a walk if memory serves me right but there are refreshments when you get to the top.

 

[Notters]

I've often wondered who goes to this. Just sounds like an excuse to needlessly burn diminishing fossil fuels

Fantastic day out at Goodwood. Massive event with loads to see and do. Incredible number of cars and celeb drivers. Not cheap but worth it and will definitely go again.
