Never been but have just bought tickets for Sunday this year.
Is it worth paying for the sportscar parking? Is it quicker,safer,roomier etc?
Or should I just go in the daily and park in the regular area?

Well...

I did it two years ago. I had a 3 day pass.


All I can say the road ( if you can call it that ) - was just grit and sand. Driving through it was like a scene from Mad Max.
If a car came the other way - the dust cloud meant that you couldn't see the road for 30 seconds.

I swear the air filter needing replacing early because of it.

You are just parked in a field, with a few nice cars - and an awful lot of cars that their owners think are much nicer than they really are. smile

If you do have something nice to take... I'd take the beater if I were you. smile


Edit: And you are not "as close to the action" as the sales fluff makes out.


Edit: It is roomier, and probably safer. But as above - I wouldn't take my pride and joy there.

I've not parked in the posh car park myself.

Parked in the peasants car park though, it's still full of nice cars.

I found space ok, most people park with door space.

If it's dry it's very dusty, if it's wet it can be a bit muddy, I've personally have never seen anyone stuck.

A good blast on the way home usually gets most of the dust off.

Troubleatmill is right.
We detailed the cars the day before, had a lovely drive down and parked up.
By the time we left, the cars looked like they'd been abandoned at Dubai airport for 12 months.

Just FYI - good wood is a phrase used in ...erm... naughty films; Goodwood is a motorsport venue.

...apart from the bit where they race horses. wink

Mind you, that's a different video altogether and probably illegal in many parts of Europe.

Maybe it's a posh dogging venue at night ?

Could be worth the 60 quid ?

Yes, dusty field. I always take my old telco carpark car and leave the best ones at home.

The worst part is usually the queueing on the public roads to get there so can't see much advantage in parking in the special car park.

I went all 4 days last year but found the traffic so Waring I'm just doing one day this year.

As with all events.
It depends what time you arrive! if you can arrive by 7.30=8.00 you should just drive in.
Also stay till the end of the day, after 6 is always good.
I know if you live far away this is not always possible.

I've bought a weekend supercar pass and I'm damn well going to use it. It's Goodwood - a man has an obligation to take a decent motor.
