Goodwood Festival of Speed

[timlowden771]

I was just wondering if any members are going to Goodwood this year. Might be a good chance to get a few Minis together. I am going with work,it is usually a brilliant weekend. If anyone wants to go, you have to pre book tickets, you can't buy them on the day. I am going on the Sunday which is the best day.

I'll be there on the Sunday - not sure yet whether I'll be in the MINI (assuming it arrives on time) or by bike as I've heard the traffic is pretty awful.

I'm currently looking into the possibility of making it a club outing.... Will post more info as soon as I have any

Sounds like a visit is on the cards?

Anyone thinking of the Revival meeting in September? I know its a while off, but since there's a Goodwood thread, I thought I'd suggest it!

maybe wires are crossed here..... and I had a very late night in the lab last night and a ludicrously early startthis morning, so my brain isn't at its finest, but I thought...

Festival of Speed 12-14th July
Revival meeting 6-8th September

see www.goodwood.co.uk and check out the "Diary" link

I want to go to the Revival meeting as a "nearly written my thesis" day off!!

Ahh.. OK, I thought the festival of speed was in September! Ok, less time to plan!

[kjs]

best be making yourself busy then, monsta

i think there's quite good deals if you get tickets for both.... i'm sure someone out there would want to do the double

BigC are you going to the FoS, or Revival?

[Minisueg]

London and Surrey Mini Owners Club (LSMOC)welcome new minis. The club has hired Goodwood for the day in august (for members only) for a track day, where you get unlimited time out on the track.
Great fun! what a wheeze!

COR now your talking.....

[BigC]

I was planning Festival of Speed

I'd not heard of the Revival Meet but having looked on the Goodwood site, I might be tempted. What is the atmosphere like ?

G8BAD_COOPER - just go onto http://www.goodwood.co.uk/ for details.

[Minisueg]

The revival meets are great and well worth attending.
Dressing in period costume for some of the revival days.

The Goodwood track though is a little unforgiving, very pretty to look at with its grassy banks (with very hard stuff underneath!) Not for wooses and dont forget that your insurance is not valid when taking part in a track day.

Went out on the castle combe track in a minione with Swifttune racing in september..awesome!
Still love my classic. Will eventually get a new min.

The beast lives on.
