So it's the annual, who's going to be getting up the earliest on the Thursday/Friday on Pistonheads biggrin?. I'll be up at 3:30, hoping to be in the car park for 6:30.
Well it sure as hell wont be me based on that...I live about 45 minutes away.... and the Mrs is not too keen on getting there at the crack of dawn...

Well, you're going to get up earlier than me - [Friday] 5.30am up for a 6 o'clock set off from Yateley, get there for doors open at 7 smile
If I could justify such an early start to the Mrs., I would suggest meeting up and travelling down together (from Sandhurst)

This will be my 16th year (i think!). So, what's
everyone looking forward to seeing?.
For me, it's the Sunday Times Supercar run and the forest rally stage... Love the stuff on the lawns too...

How will Mercedes have an F1 car running, I thought the testing ban ment only year old cars could drive like last year. I presume it will actually be a Brawn F1 car with Merc livery??
Think the best can hope for is Jenson in last years Brawn...

I have to say, pretty poor show by Goodwood in updating the website... cannot remember it being updated so late on, and the fact we are getting all our info from other sites... come on goodwood.. catch up!

Hope this works: List of drivers

http://www.rally.ie/uploads/2010/05/24/0f1a6c9d5ad...


Its like the list of drivers/cars like we saw issued a few times in the lead up to the event in the last few years. I cant find it on the official site frown
Cheers smile. It says Button is in the MP4-25 (The current one? if i'm not mistaken?) I thought they weren't alowed to drive this years cars?. Also Rosberg in the new Mercedes GP and they also say the latest Ferrari F1 car?.
I wonder how that works.. I am sure Button did not drive the Brawn last year?

Any one else got any more news? Note to Goodwood website designers, put back the "latest news section" with the news releases in chronilogical order, made things very easy in last few years. Now stuff is buried in the site all in different sections and is all quite old at the mo frown

I would be very surprised if they are actually sent from Goodwood.. I would imagine that this would be sub-contracted to a mailing house?
