Goodwood supercar sunday - any 996T/997T owners going?

[James44]

Just realised its now registration only and I missed the deadline, so won't be along in the 996.

We're looking at moving to a 996T (or maybe an early 997T), any owners likely to be there that could spend 10mins sharing ownership experience?

On the Goodwood site the closing date for registration has been moved to today or tomorrow. Can't quite remember as their site is playing up.

Just give them a call and see what they can do, they're quite helpful! 4 of us are going in 996's (2 x GT3'S and 2 x C2'S).

[James44]

I will be there on the grid with the 6-GT2, if you want to have a chat.

I'm going in a 997 C2S Cab and have a circuit pass, which is great but found interesting as not granted access on soft top Sunday a few weeks back :-)

[DPaz]

James - I'll be there (circuit pass also) in 996T S if you want to have a chat - highly recommend one if you're even vaguely thinking about it (as I did for about 5 years before taking the plunge!)

[Shurv]

I'm waiting for confirmation of a pass, but will be going anyway in my 996 C4S.If I have to park in the field then so what.See you there.

[James44]

Thanks for the replies, hopefully will catch a couple of you there.

Got a pass and yes, though I said wouldn't be along in 996, what I really meant was I'd not be on circuit and in the car park (which is often worth a walk around!)

I will be there with my new 981 Cayman S. Have a circuit pass. See you there.

PS What time is it advisable to arrive there? Am planning to get there at about 07.30.

[James44]

yes I'd say aim to arrive 7.30 to 8.

Attended today and arrived at 07.20. This was much too late as we were first directed down the track to the end of the pit lane and then directed to turn right down the rear of the paddock. After a pause at the entrance to the paddock while the marshal spoke on his radio, we were then directed down the tunnel and then to the tarmac car park on the right as you come through the main entrance (on the left as we were going), which we had passed on our way in. The paddock was apparently full. There were some very interesting cars in the car park we were directed to, including numerous Porsches and Ferraris, etc. Cars parked on the track stretched the definition of "Supercar" somewhat as we saw a Fiat 500, albeit Abarth, Smart Car and a Mazda MX3 plus other cars that in no way would fit the definition of Supercar. This is apparently at the whim of the men in yellow jackets!

I will try get there earlier next year!

Got there at 6.30 and straight into Paddock 1. Been for many years but never seen so much metal. Even got bored looking at Ferrari's! The Ruff GTC was awesome. No doubt about it one of the great motor events of the year and in total sunshine, it doesn't get much better!!

[James44]

Got there about 8.10 and was directed through the other entrance and parked along the track (opposite that white countach kit car thing).

Felt somewhat underdressed in a 996 C2 and twice heard 'that's only a carerra'. Many great cars, didn't think Mclaren had made that many MP4s. The two Veyrons looked good, loved the livery on the blue/white one, 458s were getting a bit boring in the end ...

Fav car - the two speed yellow 996Ts looked the business as did the many GT3s. But I'd take home the rivera blue coloured 997 GT3 (GT03 BRO was reg).If you are here, top car!

Managed to speakto a couple of turbo owners (thanks again if you're on here).
