Festival of Speed Motorbike Parking...?
Discussion
Hi all
Due to getting several responses, none of which are the same from the people who run the Goodwood FOS customer service and also their help message service on Facebook I am still none the wiser!
I wish to bring my motorbike, in full touring mode with my missus on Friday. I have heard in the past people talk of hardstanding and a kit locker facility run by some sort of charity for motorbike riders attending the FOS.
Goodwood tell me there is 'helmet lockers' in car Park F on the day, but no changing facilities or room for kit so to speak.
Anyone have any experience and can share best options?
Thank you!

I rode to FoS once and it was pretty easy to find the bike parking, which is at the race circuit. The helmet park is really good and is staffed all day. I walked in to the festival as the shuttle had just departed and it was going to be a while before the next one came.
The only comment i would make is that you have to get back to the circuit by the time that the helmet park shuts (it was 6pm) and this may be a little restrictive if you want to hang around right to the end of the day. Riding in from SE London didn't save me that much time (it was a Friday) except on the M25 and after a very hot day I was pretty tired when I got back on the bike which didn't make for that pleasant a ride home.
Of course, if you can store all of your stuff on the bike then you can leave your bike there for a lot longer.

The Richard Burns charity will be manning the Helmet Park until 8pm on each of the four days.The only comment i would make is that you have to get back to the circuit by the time that the helmet park shuts (it was 6pm) and this may be a little restrictive if you want to hang around right to the end of the day.
