Mud in the Carpark? - TVR or 4x4?

[Mark Green]

With the weather being VARIABLE, whats the state of the car park after day 2?

Should I take the Griff or the Scooby?

????????

I was in this car park yesterday, right at the bottom of the hill which is a lot steeper than it looks



Got out easily but it didn't rain (well not on that bit of Goodwood) if it had no way would I have got out without a tow. I assume they have a plan if it rains - there were a lot of Toyota 4x4s about!

I remember chaos a couple of years ago when there was a massive thunderstorm around 4pm. Thousands must have decided to leave at the same time as it took over and hour and a half to get out of the car park.......there were around 10 lines of cars heading for one exit. The field was extremely slippery and I remember our Alfa 156 moving as far sideways as forwards trying to get up the last steep bit by the gate

Yesterday was fine though

I'd take the 4X4.

I was there today (Saturday) and it was just starting to get slippy. I took my Range Rover and was glad I didn't go in the GT...

Take the 4x4. I saw an old Land Rover having to tow an enormous shiny Ferrari F1 team transporter up a slight incline yesterday; the F1 artic just couldn't get enough grip. Very amusing!

Looks like the Scooby. I'll put a rope in the back if I get a chance.

If anyone needs a tow look out for me ;-) !!!!!

I've never had a choice of carpark before how would I get to carpark 4? Bit concerned about my lowered Works Cooper S!

carpark 4 drive pass the race course (horse) drive pass gate 1 and 8 turning on your left, go pass gate 5 through the dark covered trees tunnel and see gate 4 on your left.

Erm, I believe you'll need a pass to get into Gate 4 on Sunday. I was very lucky and got one, but I'd say unless you're with one of the exhibitors you won't get in.

I live 20 minutes from Goodwood and having had rain all day I would suggest your picture is not far from the truth.

On the way out yesterday the car park was already starting to turn to mud, I think we'll have some stories later on
