easter weekend

[sean11]

anybody heard about a sprint event going on next weekend?

[S7Paul]

According to the circuit diary, there's a GRRC Sprint on Monday 13th April.

Yep Members Sprint on Easter Monday - members only for competing but open for all to watch. It's a cracking little event, thread from last year with some pics:

I'll be down there again for sure, hoping it's a bit warmer this time though!!

I have been going to, marshalling at and competing at Goodwood since the early 1950's and have rarely heard the word 'warmer' spoken - wrap up warm!

Yes, I've just spoken to them, it should be a lovely little event. If you go in a nice car then I think you can park within the racetrack by the paddock, away from possible knocks and bumps in the public areas.

[Stephanie Plum]

The pits area is normally reserved for competitors cars when the Sprint is on - don't underestimate how busy it is. Park either by the Vitra cafe - first left as you drive in, or alternativey in the big car park which is hard standing on the right as you drive in - up between the bulding and some hangars. I wouldn't worry about knocks and bumps, the only people likely to be there are other enthusiasts.

I wouldn't park down by the Aero Club - that gets busy and tends to be less car enthusiast based in my experience.

Thanks Stephanie, I'll try and do that then. For some reason my car always invites scrapes and I've become completely paranoid! I think I've got a shot of yours on my website - does the registration start with an 'S'?

[jgoodwood]

Thought you might like to know about some of the entries for the GRRC Spring Sprint on Easter Monday.. we have over 100 entries in around 96 cars including: an original D-Type, 4 x Lotus 2-Eleven, a 1907 wolseley, healeys, jags a cologne capri a 1960s Nascar, standard 10, GT3s, 997 GT3 Cup etc etc etc etc..

entry is free and practice starts at 9am with timed runs starting at around 11am..

Hope to se you there.

No worries. Ref the reg, no none of them. The 2-11 is unique in it's paint scheme so you won't have seen two - think Type25/49 Lotus race cars and you'll be there

Ah - I thought I'd spotted it at Virgina Water. It sounds really gorgeous - hope to see it some time!

I'll be down there, one of my customers is competing in his 2-Eleven (as he did last year too), will be a great day.

[leon britton]

Indeed i will go ,v8 if its wet and special v8 if its dry

[flatfour1]

I don't think I'll be able to make this one. It's the first round of the British Superbikes this weekend (Friday through till Monday).

Reference the area above; For a Sprint the tow road and assembly area is closed and used as a return road for hot competition cars coming off the circuit into the paddock gate by the Bader statue. There will be various staff on hand to assist with parking, from the main gate entry point onwards.
I hope that this helps.

Quick question, is there separate parking for GRRC members?

No there isn't but most people coming are GRRC Members so it should not be a problem.. Parking in Vitra car park, chicane paddock and Car Park D (field nr woodcote corner).

Cheers,

Well, I spent a very happy couple of hours at Goodwood this morning. What a beautiful day and what wonderful cars. I couldn't decide which one I wanted to take home, but the aqua MG was rather gorgeous. I've put some shots on my website if anybody would like to see some of the motors:
