Ditto old boy!

[Pete]

So anyone got any updates on this meeting? No Unipowers in the Weslake, sounds like the grid was pretty much a done deal before the announcement, as is often the case there.

I'm just about to book tickets but there's no details on the website of the exact race card times/schedule (or is there?) so which is the best day to go?

[Pete]

Hang on, found the programme.

So, no pre '66 saloons = replaced by the Pierpoint Cup for pre '66 yank tanks, couple of Minis in the GM trophy for 70s saloons, the odd A Series deviant in the Weslake Cup. And Sunday is the main race day, got it. Mmmm ... six hour drive+ each way, no camping, £80 ticket... I'm definately wavering.....

[surfblue63]

Saturday is mainly qualifying but The Gerry Marshall race is on late as they are driving into the dusk. The only races on Saturday are usually the first round of the double headers.

Sunday is race day.

Both days have track parades/demos.

I spend most of Saturday in the paddock and then Sunday around the circuit. If only doing one day I would probably choose Sunday as the racing gets a lot more hairy than the qualifying.

Also bear in mind that the track action starts at around 9am each day.

[Pete]

Thanks Stu. + £44 to sit in the grandstand per person. What planet are these people on?? Brolly it is!

[surfblue63]

Didn't rain last year but it was a bit chilly out on the circuit. It's easy to get around the back as the tractor buses are running all day.

Planet Corporate, Pete.
Even the tarts that usually only go to the Revival and Ascot on Ladies Day have sussed out that the "Members' Meeting" is a name they can drop in the wine bar, the following week.

I'd love to go , but the live feed and Stu's pics will do me !

Planet pisstake morelike! The grandstand for the Gold Cup is £5. Go figure,

You can't get FIA HTP papers on Lotus 7 so there are virtually none racing.

Members Meeting is by far the best event of the year. Definitely worth it.

[Pandora]

You can't get FIA HTP papers on Lotus 7 .

Why is that? plenty raced in international events in period, though I think there was maybe a minor infringement of cockpit width, but that might have been for SCCA events?

Goodwood isn't an FIA event, so they should be OK there? Their general criteria is the car should be of the type that ran there in period.

I've heard the argument that "oh, they'd be to modern Caterham spec, not period, so can't run" but I tell you what, unless a fat middle aged property developer is actually a better driver than Jimmy Clark, there are a few cars in historics not running to period spec........

[dhenry]

There are actually only a couple of races that Goodwood put on for "club racing" cars. Even though the event is not FIA sanctioned almost all of the grids are for FIA spec vehicles. There is not really a suitable grid for a Lotus Seven because you can't have an HTP on one. The FIA in period had a problem with the cockpit and the lack of doors. The Lotus 6, however, is a regular at Goodwood events.

[Pete]

I'm still looking to get tickets for this cos the booking line crashed when I booked and consequently I'm ticket-less.

Have you looked on Pistonheads? Quite a few on there

[Pete]

Oh! Cheers Bryn, will check that out.
