Brilliant. Looking forward to showing the kids why I used to love motor racing.
What’s the Silverstone classic like? :heheh:
Silverstone classic does have motor racing and festival of speed does not . SC is far less commercial in many respects and focused on racing . Different event not comparable. I prefer it to be honest .What’s the Silverstone classic like? :heheh:

A few hundred quid wasted.
Never again.
Not their fault, but I’ve had enough.
No doubt, as with COVID, they’ll be asking people to waive any entitlement to refunds to ensure Goodwood’s continued A few hundred quid wasted.

lucky escape for us .. have been for the last few years along with the members meeting and revival.. FOS got a bit samey and bit less exciting with the increase of ev cars decided id go every other year or every three years so gave this year a miss.. always went friday & saturday .. i know how much i looked forward to it each time .. so feel sorry for for all those unable to attend if saturday was the only day they have tickets for ... looks like full refunds will be given .. tho.. silverston classic is worth going to for cars clubs and classics ,, the tracks a bit rubbish for classic racing its just too big behind so much fencig with too much run off to create any atmosphere , but the infield car display and paddocks are worth going for alone if you need a car fix..
To be fair to Goodwood, they've made a tough decision early enough to limit the damage caused by countless early journeys tomorrow being a waste of time. Mine included. They were under massive pressure on social media to 'make a decision' and they have. Horrible position that they found themselves in, but I can't see how they could have handled this in any other way.

That wheel could very easily have killed someone. Presumably everything goes through scruitineering before being allowed on track?
Snapped drive shaft apparently. Would not have been inspected in scrutenearing. I don't think Those wheels and tyres are very heavy. It’s a miracle nobody was seriously injured.

I don’t think anyone is criticising Goodwood for doing what they’ve done. But many people like me will just shrug their shoulders and not bother ever again. This weather is become almost regular over summer, and commiting to a fair few squids that’ll never be refunded is just too much. I’d even go tomorrow just to wander around static cars! But, understandably, that’s not an option. Motorsport is a load of ***t these days, and this might just be the final nail in the coffin for me.

Look at the Goodwood website - never trust second, or third-hand information.
