Forecast for tomorrow (when I'm going) is 2mm of rain for the whole day, which sounds nice biggrin

Am braving it and taking the Exige. Uh oh.

You miss-read - it's 2mm or rain per minute, all day. Take the Sunseeker instead. tongue out

I wasn't sure weather to take the family saloon or the sports car, then I realised I only have a family saloon, so will be taking that.

I won't however be taking the nipper along - managed to secure accommodation for him for the day with the in-laws biggrin

I've just got back from Goodwood and the ground inside the venue and in the car parks is drying out nicely. We had a few spots of rain today, but nothing significant and it was fairly windy this afternoon which should help to dry the ground out even further. There is plenty of roadway down in the site as well. The car park was a dream to get out of.

It was so dry that the Porsche Cayenne driving experience had a water bowser out to wet the field so they could manage the power slides in the 'mud'.

Car Parks etc were great today. However, it lashed it down with rain on the journey home along the M27 and it is still chiucking it down now (in Bournemouth).

May be a bit wet in car parks tomorrow !

We took wellies and the Unimog( and parked in the GRRC area,looking slightly out of place!),to offer assistance to any LR owners who may have got into trouble:P
We were surprised how dry it was, car park was absolutlry fine, and almost no mud on the site itself.Well done peeps.
