Just noticed on Pistonheads that the Breakfast Club calender for Goodwood has just been released & that the first even is "Mini Mayhem" on 1st March 2009:

Yeah not to far. I'm in Chichester so you don't get much closer :biggrin: I can make it to the race circuit from my house in less than 10 minutes :biggrin:
I quite often go to the breakfast clubs. Well the interesting ones anyway :wink:
Good idea. The website doesn't allow me to pre register for it yet. Its still living in 2008. But I'm interested! Any one know what time it starts? Looks fab though and a perfect occasion for a show and shine!
I don't think you have to pre register unless you're having breakfast. I've been to loads & you just turn up, but then I suppose there's no harm. Toothbrush will be coming out for this one :biggrin:
The website still hasn't been updated with the calender (even though it's been released) so watch this space as i'm sure it'll be up to speed soon enough
Anyone tempted by a convoy up there? McDonalds carpark (on the A27 dog leg at Chichester) for breakfast at 8am would be a good bet if it does (TBC) start at 8:30. Only about a mile from there.
I noticed that too! I'm not sure, someone at work went to one of them last year and I have a feeling that around 9am rings a bell I have a contact at the motor circuit, so I'll see if I can find out
I've been to a few of these now, they usually start at 8:30, though it might be worth getting there slightly before as I can see this one being quite popular.
The first of the 2009 Goodwood Breakfast Club meetings will be held on Sunday 1st March. A selection of vehicles, appropriate to each monthly theme, will be parked up and displayed within the Motor Circuit, whilst regular vehicles will be directed to the public car parking area just across the road. As in previous years, admission to the Breakfast Club remains free, and all visitors are welcome.
A revised and improved website, dedicated to the Goodwood Breakfast Club (Goodwood) is available on-line, highlighting updates on each monthly theme, and enabling visitors to pre-register on-line to secure easy parking and breakfast access.
The Goodwood Breakfast Club is held on the first Sunday of every month, from March to December, with the exception of July and September, which have been rescheduled for 2009 as indicated below (*). Meetings are held from 08:30hrs to midday.
If interest is good from this forum i'll mail them & tell them we're all coming May get priority or something? Worth a shot.
It's pretty much a show & shine really with food and drink stands on site. If you're feeling really posh you could opt for breakfast in the restaurant :biggrin: I'm sure there will be a huge number of old & new Mini's there to look at.
Ooh thinking about a trip down? Well not sure they'll let radioactive MINI's on Goodwood! lol!
We're local so let me know if you need to know any hotels in the area and we'll sort you out! There is a Goodwood hotel but not sure its very affordable! Very nice though.
This sounds like a fantastic day and would love to be a part of this. I live in brighton so not too far for me to travel. Would it be ok if i was to join the "convoy" heading to the circuit?
Not sure. I've been to the supercar one before & cars left before that as they were parked up with plenty of room to move. My guess is that it depends on the turnout but then the track is used so they won't cram them in.
I was bought a rally driving experience for Crimbo and they've got space on the 28th Feb. I'm thinking of booking for that, staying over somewhere and then going to Goodwood on the 1st.
Are people meeting up at the event itself or somewhere else and then driving in convoy?
Also, what are the chances of us getting our MINIs parked up on the track... is it first come, first served or pre-arranged?
