Such a fast track Nick...Loved it when I went around...A track I never really thought of going to but so glad I did....

One meet we should all try and get down to is Supercar Sunday however they are quite strict on what the Goodwood marshalls call a "supercar" i know of one member from anther forum said he got turned away in his M3 CSL, another was turned away in a Honda NSX (facelift model) yet they accepted a Mercedes SL500 for display, WTF.

 

[OzzieAl]

It probably also depends if your a member of the club.... I used to be... before I left and could not see the point really.. A lot of money for nothing...

 

[Andyk]

It always seems a bit clicky.....you are either in our out.....

Very enjoyable, drove all three days from London - Alfa Spider for Friday and Saturday and the Marcos for Sunday, parked in the Historic car park the whole weekend. Covered about 400miles all in all, oof. Alfa saw 110units per hour on the way down, new cams, sports exhaust and dizzy really paid off. Stops well too with the Tarox upgrade!

Highlights were the incredible Goodwood TT cars (the 250GTOs, Cobras, DB4GTs, Maser 151 etc) and the E-Type race, some proper nutters there, spins a-plenty and cornering with BOTH inside wheels off the ground. Also 10 Spitfires in the air at once and a proper 'Wall of Death' at the fairground! Very tiring but enjoyable weekend

Plus I managed to have 3 roast lunches in 3 days, very happy *burp*

Matt, I;d be up for a Goodwood track day but Malc used to have to organise quite late in the season due to costs - wet Goodwood is pretty scary, it's all off camber with no run-off... Wet grass is not your friend if you get it wrong! However... count me in!

Watched it on the box last night ,the tt race seemed very seat of the pants stuff , scary at times with all those millions ££££££s nearly bumping into each other , Brundle was man of the match for me , but the real star was the tipo , who could probably have won the race , had it not been for the time taken to swap drivers , due to the cramped cockpit getting in and out exciting rectum clinching stuff
