73rd Goodwood Members Meeting - March 21st and 22nd 2015

This is now firmly on my radar (as in I've just bought tickets for both days )

[F1GTRUeno]

Wonder which cars will appear?

Could be #01R and #20R though I doubt it (no idea if they're actually in running condition either).

[Peloton25]

ROFGO have both - I'd consider that most likely.

[hurstg01]

#01R is more likely given the text of the article, but seeing #15R and #22R would be fantastic!!

[hurstg01]

It would appear a few more F1's might make it

I got this info in the post from Goodwood today

Some more 73rd Members Meeting post arrived today

[Sami Aaltonen]

This is finally some very good news!!!

[PatrickT82]

Great! I have not ordered a ticket yet. I think I'll plan a trip this weekend now

Who goes too?

[Sami Aaltonen]

Funny that #01R did not mentioned that news text. It should be there right?

I will be there. Both days.
This moment seems, 25 Air Box Formula One's including Niki Laudas 312T, 15 Group C Sportscars, and now at least 15 F1 GTR's seems to be the case.

Let's open this a bit. What you rhink about these:

GULF's = perhaps #12R or #15R?
Davidoff = Must be meaning GULF Longtails then? #20R or #22R?
FINA = #21R or #26R or perhaps even #18R, not expect #23R from USA?
WEST = #03R
Harrods = #06R

And yesterday McLaren Automotive's Facebook page had an image of XP1 LM and text upon that "We had festive celebrations at MTC last night. The fireworks were spectacular".
So the XP1 LM will be there also perhaps then?

Who's going:

* Greg
* Sami
* Patrick
* Arjan

Except Greg, you all sleep in a hotel? Booked already?
March is coming close, making a hotel reservation would be good and it could be nice when we stay in the same area / hotel (dinner - carpool).
Send PM's or mail for details if interested.

[Sami Aaltonen]

Right now could be good to hear some facts about GTR's, but is there any..?
Of course we here in this forum, we know about the things, so this information which we already have; we can say quite sure what there will be, BUT it would be nice to hear some facts also. Is it possible to get.

I have not yet planned my trip but it is a good idea to stay in the same hotel in that area. Where do you stay? I assume only the saturday?

Me either, haven't booked the ferry nor a hotel (or b&b).

I do want to arrive early in the morning on track, which means have to skip sleeping and travel at night (by car) plus ferry.
Or departure on friday afternoon and take another night in a hotel / b&b.
The same for the return trip. Leaving on sunday, drive to the ferry and home is too long to become a worthfull sunday stay on track. That's why I have an extra stay in mind on sunday / monday night.

Basicly, arrive friday evening at a hotel, leaving monday morning, for me.
Prices and travel distance are on an acceptable level, still.
Most of times I visited a Goodwoord event it becomes more expensive and very busy (longer travel distance between hotel and track) closer to the event.
I don't want to wait too long this time
