Goodwood's Festival of Speed 2013 11-14 July

[hurstg01]

I'm going for all 4 days, and hope to meet up with some of you throughout the weekend for a chat, beer and possibly both



Thursday is the Moving Motor Show, which is also the 'final' set-up day for the Festival, so not all cars on show for the weekend will be there, but it gives you time to wander around, get used to where things are, you may be able to have a sneaky chat to some of the drivers / mechanics who turn up early and have a good primary look at the stalls on the infield

Friday is the 1st of the 3 Festival of Speed 'proper' days; it's a little quieter than the next 2 days due to it being a Friday, and the chance for some decent static photo's, chats to the drivers / mechanics etc is better on this day than any other. One downside is you won't get to see all the 'stars'....

Saturday and Sunday are the busiest days, due to it being both a weekend and those being the days the 'stars' arrive. There are more timed runs up the hill and pretty much more everything - people, noise, crowds, atmosphere etc

So, which of you guys are going and when?

I'll be there from thursday night till sunday evening.
The anniversary is THE reason why I'll skip the Revival (I think) and prefer the FoS this time.
That would be nice; an AF meeting point at FoS

Sunday for me.

[PatrickT82]

Friday for sure and maybe another day

Have a weekend London planned that weekend

[PDoddy]

Hoping to go for the Friday but still working out plans. Does anyone know if there are going to be any other F1's attending?

[hurstg01]

I'm hopeful for more

I'm a Goodwood Junkie I'm off to the Revival too, with my Dad, his brother and his cousin [3 x 70+ year old motor-racing addicts + me all dressed in 40's / 50's clothing - It's going to be GOOD!]

Bets are on it'll be near a Beer tent, possibly on the infield. For people who want to meet other AF'ers PM me your mobile number and, once we have all decided on a day I'll try my best to get us all together

I wish I could be there to join in the festivities. As I've told a few of you in relaying this news it will be a bad year to miss. Have fun without me and I will look forward to all the photos and videos you have to share.
