Goodwood First Timer; Tips?!

[Vaesminator]

First time at Goodwood, visiting the event (on invite by the organization) on thursday and friday. As we do not want to be bound to all the corporate events, looking for some good tips to have two fun days. Program looks, to a first-timer, a bit scattered and hard to make out what really is going on. So any help would be great.

From 10 years of Le Mans experience, I know that you need to 'grow into' these types of events. But, if someone tells you what's good - you can take a few years of shortcuts!

See you then, watch out for a 911 on Holland plates - that's me.

The rally stage at the top of the hill ( not Thursday ) - they really go for it and viewing is great. Absolute must see.

Get signed up for the experiences early if you're interested - audi off road, Porsche something or other and Honda MX bikes etc

Take your car key and get into the viewing gallery on top of the manufacturers stand with free refreshments BMW, Merc, Audi etc

As 9.3 said get yourself up to the rally stage. Won't be on Thurs I don't think but Friday will be the best day for it as all the drivers and cars are fresh. By Sunday afternoon they're all fairly beaten up (car's & drivers). The NASCARs are a must watch. I've been for many years now and imo they always put on the best show up the hill.
