In that case, everyone can follow the long line of buses, presumably on foot, on a bike or in another bus!

I’ll let you wear my Ray Bans… for a little while.

:O it will be the best day ever!

The last I heard was that cars would be banned from the British Grand Prix

Although obviously, not all cars… you know what I mean!

or doubtless would apply from Derby to Donington Park when/if it gets a contract.

The last I heard was that cars would be banned from the British Grand Prix at Donington, and they would force everybody to use the public transport system. Which I presume would be vastly improved over the Grand Prix weekend.

Sounds like the same instruction that would have got even the most clueless driver from Towcester to Silverstone at British GP time… …or doubtless would apply from Derby to Donington Park when/if it gets a contract. Only in Britain, it seems, is there the immense (if politely restrained) enthusiasm for attending motor sports events that leads to that tradition more commonly ascribed to Britain: The Extremely Long Queue.

I’ll have a word with the weather [...]

According to the BBC, it may rain a little on Friday and Sunday.

Any tips on travelling from Chichester to Goodwood? Obviously I’ll be hotelling it up in Chichester but I’ve no idea about travel between the two places…

You’ve managed to get a hotel in Chichester! I’m impressed.

Erm, follow the big long line of traffic.

Goodwood is well signposted and obviously, the traffic queues from about Portsmouth all along the A27. Don’t go into the Goodwood Circuit by mistake, the actual event is held at Goodwood House which is a little further up the road, beyond the Rolls Royce offices.

From the centre of Chichester to the event is about 3 miles according to Google Earth. Just follow signs to Goodwood Circuit, Goodwood Golf Course and Goodwood House.

And I just read the following on the FOS website:
A bus service will run from Chichester Bus Station (situated close to the railway station) to the Festival starting from 08:30hrs each morning. For further information on times please telephone +44 (0)845 121 0170.

I think Friday would have been my day of choice as well but since I will be 3 weeks into a new job I think I’d best pass on the Friday idea

With a bit of luck, I’ll see you there.

Understandable. But hey, big congrats on the job front.

And you know you wanna go.

I would love to go but this year unfortunately it just isn’t possible.

Gah. I read on Sidepodcast a few months back (before Christmas, I think) that you were hoping to go. I got a little excited at finally getting the chance to meet you. Oh well, another time I hope.

Look forward to my first Goodwood FoS – and look forward to meeting a few others too…

Looking forward to meeting you, Tom. I hope you enjoy your first experience of Goodwood. I’ll have a word with the weather and see if I can make it pleasant for the weekend.

The Festival of Speed is an awesome event and a must for anyone who has never been there.

With a bit of luck, I’ll see you there.

If I was to go for one of the weekend days, which one’s the best day to go?

They’re both similar, to be honest. I guess the only difference is that Sunday is traditionally the big driver day. Last year it was Lewis Hamilton, and I expect so again this year, especially as Jenson Button is expected again.

So if you don’t mind a few more crowds clamouring around the big star drivers, then Sunday is probably better. But really, Saturday is just as good in my opinion – I prefer fewer crowds, which is why I love going on Fridays.

Being a Goodwood newbie, If I was to go for one of the weekend days, which one’s the best day to go?

I’d love to see the Autounions

From what I can gather, there are going to be a fair few of them as well, as Audi are bringing a sizable portion of their historical cars to celebrate their anniversary.
