Hi all,
I'm planning to attend Goodwood again this year, is anyone else making an appearance? Be good to get group together, especially after the great turn out at Stanford? ;-)

Is friday a good day to go on?? I just read that on fri there will be no races??

Are you looking at the Horse Racing?
As far as I'm aware there will be action on the hill Fri-Sun. It's only Thursday there's no "racing" on the hill as it's the moving motor show where members of the public get to try and run each other over in Hondas*




*Last year someone driving a Honda lost control at 5mph and drove through the wall of the marquee.

We're going Sunday, but that's largely through habit in that we always go Sunday and also because it's the only day I don't get phone calls.
Not sure if one day is necessarily any better than another, Friday may be marginally quieter than Sat and Sun?

Friday is testing day they do runs up the hill etc but in preperation for the weekend. Rich and I have always gone on Fridays just love the atmosphere of anticipation and CastrolR!

Dem, I take it you have to tickets for the Alfa stand????

BigChris is going also, meet at my work and leave the cars in my office car park (rural, very secure) and all go up together. I know the back routes to avoid the traffic.
