Festival of Speed
Discussion
We bought grandstand seats last year and only used them for about half an hour. If you really want to see the cars on the hill climb, then either get there early or buy the grandstand seat.
However, you'll get as much entertainment by walking around the paddock and grounds gawping at all the fabulous cars. There are big screen TVs dotted about, so you can still keep an eye on the action.
For us, it wasn't worth paying the extra.
Either way, you'll have a great day.

I have been going to the Festival of Speed for a few years now and love it! I have also found the main paddock is a great place to see the cars and spot the racing drivers.
Another place where you get a good overall view is by standing on the free platform. This is on the opposite side to Goodwood House. (near where they put the jazz band)!
I really do think the three day ticket is the best. Friday is great because it isn't so crowded! So you get to look at the cars without people pushing you. Also, some of the big name drivers from the past turn up on Friday like Rene Arnoux!
One last thing, if any of you are traveling to Goodwood via Midhurst, there is a very nice place at Singleton called 'The Studio Tea Rooms'. You can get a very good cooked breakfast with prices starting at £2.99. They open at 8.30am. I know this as my friend and I go there!
Hope you all have a great time!!!!
