Hi,

There used to be a list on the GRRC website stating which driver will be driving and on what day.
I cannot find such a detailed list anymore, can anyone enlighten me?

That's because it isn't finalised - it also appears as a pdf download on the FoS part of the Goodwood site about 3 weeks before the event.
Fittipaldi, Loeb, Sordo and Surtees is enough to be going on with. Be nice if LH would do more than just the Sunday !

I can only do one day these days so I need to make the best choice!

Well then it has to be Sunday if you want to see the maximum of the current F1 drivers followed by Sat then Friday (when only the test drivers are in the top F1 machines). Al Unser, Richard Petty, 'Sir' John Surtees and Emmo will be there all 3 days. If Loeb and Sordo follow previous years example they'll be there Sat and Sun and leave Friday to a different works driver. Paddy Hopkirk and Rauno Aaltonen will do all 3 too.

Ah ha not always!
Some only on Saturday's, Webber's only been on Saturdays in the past along with Button, Cal Crutchlow too to name just a few.
Been going every year since '99!

Anyway, Goodwood, publish the list please.

My mistake - Last year was the first time in 8 years I didn't go at least one of the weekend days. The previous 5 years Lewis was a Sunday only driver iirc.
Presumably he had a concert to attend on the Sunday last year. Fact remains, you get more of the current F1 crop on the Sunday than the Saturday (individual timetables notwithstanding). Presumably Merc will do Nico on one day and Lewis on the other, be very surprised to see the reigning Champ there this year.

Seems to be a shift towards the F1 boys doing Saturday and the test/young drivers doing Fri and Sun.

That said, theres always surprises. I dont recall seeing Sutil or Grosjean listed as coming last year but both were in attendence!

Vettel apparently loved it two years ago, so I was surprised he didnt attend last year. Hopefully he'll be back, he was fantastic with people for autographs and photos, possibly the best of the big names.

The year before last, Jenson was meant to do sat and Lewis sunday, I turned up on the sat and they were both there.
It turned out that it was Nicole's birthday on the sunday so Lewis had to go on the sat

I agree. He was very sociable down at the start line.

I have spectator Marshalled for the last 3 years, and last year, there was a rumour going around the marshalls on the Sunday Morning that most of us would be needed to around the Mercedes Benz stand as Schuey was going to make a surprise attendance.

The list has always been that specific has it not?

To me I'm more interested in knowing what cars will be there than who will be driving them.
