Festival of Speed 2016

[Advantage]

Just over a day to go until the front lawn of Goodwood House is opened to the public once more for this always popular event. No official factory presence from Lotus this time, but dealer support from Bell and Colvill and a plethora of historic Lotus racers will mean our favourite Hethel marque will still be well represented. 

As usual, the Goodwood website is a disjointed affair, but details can be found here and also here.

Thursday is looking like it might be a waterproofs and wellies day, but fingers crossed for the rest of the weekend. If you can't make it there in person then, starting from 8:30AM Thursday 23rd, the event is being streamed and broadcast via YouTube just for you.

Sunday for me too....in the Performance Car Park; not so far to walk.....(!) Moley's car is easy to spot....

[Bibs]

I'm heading down either Friday or Saturday. A fresh looking 3-Eleven will be tearing it up the hill each day

[21gg]

Im in the performance carpark too, between a bad back and being a lazy sod, it makes life easier!

[Bibs]

I'm in the Press Car Park

[Bibs]

And the Media Centre, there are free chocolate muffins

[21gg]

That's it, no matter how nice you are, from now on i'm not going to like you! Unless you smuggle some muffins out. 

[Bibs]

Watch this space 

[100th_Idiot]

Would that make Bibs a muffin mule?

[Bibs]

I've been called worse

[21gg]

I don't want to know where you are going to hide them! 

[quantum2000]

Going to try and be there Friday. Was fab last year with the 3-11.

I noticed a rather smart B & C advert in Aug Evo hinting at a decent stand..

Button is scheduled for Saturday, driving the new NSX. Hamilton will also be there Saturday, with teammate Rosberg doing duties on the Sunday. They will both be driving the 2014 Mercedes F1 W05 car.  

[MPx]

I'm there on Thursday...

[Stubox]

Sat and Sun for me. I'll pass on the Bibs smuggled muffin thanks ?

[Advantage]

I'm only a short drive from Goodwood - it's absolutely chucking it down right now and has been for half an hour or so. Bring wellies, waterproofs and a tractor. 

[Arun_D]

Tomorrow only, for me.

[huggy617]

I'm there on Sunday. I'll be taking the Lotus but parking with the peasants unfortunately! B&C have very kindly given me an exhibitors pass though so I'm over the moon ?

[mayevora]

Never having been, every year I say "next year" and guess what....

I'm going to go next year! ?
