Can spectators come?

Goodwood is generally free entrance, unless its a big event, you can drive in, park up, theres a little burger/bacon roll/ tea/ coffee wagon by the parking bays allotted to the drivers, and also a cafe on the inner airfield, 100yd walk, the airfield itself can be quiet intresting, theres also a skid pan that can be booked for such experiences, and whilst not allowed in the pitlane, you can virtually touch the cars lined up, awaiting their outlaps, and a second lift where you are able to veiw other parts of the track, albeit and little limited, worth a visit even if its not our days.

Have you asked any other tracks for prices , I know Castle Combe is much cheaper ?

Does it have to be Goodwood ?

Do you fancy organising a separate day at a different track?

 

[Dizwen]

Just say the word and i'll pay in full for April.

Chris, The cost of this day is £310, this is a non profit event, and I will tell you, this is a very cheap day for Goodwood, they are famously expensive, track wise, event wise, food wise. I was told ony on Tuesday by Katie Wingfield, who co ordinates bookings and circuit hire, that even their own "goodwood TDs" would be at a far greater cost. So these two days are great value. Secondly, its not a issure of people not wanting to pay. All the guys booked dont mind paying, initially, I thought we,d get the deposits sorted, of which some have arrived today, however on being advised about the contents of a contract I will be signing, last Tuesday, of which I had not been made aware of previously, its put a fly in the works.
But I think, given a few of the guys comments since, we will get it together, more than likely have to pay the full amount a little earlier than originally expected, but it would have to have been paid at sometime.
Thirdly, not fully appreciate were your going with "door fees", but if its to ask GW for a reduction in charges, I am afraid not a chance, the only way to make this cheaper, if thats the route people wanted to go, is to take more cars. Now getting more cars, grief, having more cars, less track time and 10 cars a session, I particually do not wish any of this, 25 cars, 5 cars a seession, is perfect, as for Goodwood, its a great track, everyone needs to experience a TD there once in their lives.

This said, are you intrested...?

Rick

lol i have oviously missed another thread lol and i agree track days are great and on this ocation i think i will pass but thank you for the offer. i dont mind a bit of a hecktic ground with watchers and racers and regarding the reduce prices i mearly ment that if GW had an open day cost that it be reduced to MB owners who turn up but as this is clearly a reasonably small gavering and that they already have given a nice price its best if we forget wat i said lol

Open pitlane events are available at goodwood if that's what you are looking for. Trackdays.co.uk often have a small selection of dates around the £210 mark. Bear in mind they are 98dB days, and open pitlane at goodwood is not quite the same as other circuits - noise restrictions mean they limit the number of cars on track at any one time. This leads to bit of queuing sometimes.

Later on this year , definitely . It was only a suggestion for another track , I had not realised that this was discussed previously and agreed , so NOT trying to put the spanner in the works for Goodwood , which as has been posted everybody should experience at least once a lifetime .
Unfortunately I am spending most of my time re-training so until dates are known I am not sure I can attend .

Adam, if your up for it, as of last nights discussions with a few of the current paid up guys onboard at a meet, your very welcome. If so what date had you in mind, 29th April or 13 August..? Could you advise, just want to keep a tight handle on numbers.

Regards Rick

I want to be a sheep and go with the majority to get the most fun out of it (and kill Olly's overstated C43!), do you have a list for the people attending both days so I can choose please?

Be prepared fot it to break....

Adam, go into the events section look at the "sticky" Latest lists it will hopefully give you the information you require.

PS; Just a reminder, these are trackdays you are looking at, for the enjoyment of all the guys attending, its not a raceday my friend, however if the overtaking of Ollies C43 at the approperiate/correct manner ,place and time on the circuit is your desire I am sure Ollie will be only too pleased to let you by...

.. is,nt that right Ollie.

Best regards Rick
