Today was the 80th Year of the VSCC at Goodwood.

Loads of brilliant cars. I love the old classic cars. Far better then modern cars.

I have only uploaded my mobile phone photos to Flickr at the moment. Here is the link:

Superb photographs of a superb event. 100's of vintage and classic cars, great aircraft with the 2 Spitifires, the Harvard, Stearman, Tiger Moth and so many more, and free access to wander round the pits, look at all the cars and chat to the drivers. I can't believe this event isn't better publicised, somehow it seems to slip under the radar of most people.

Goodwood don't publicise things like this, mainly i suspect due to crowds... they probably don't want too many people what with limited parking etc.. yesterday was probably just the right amount, the most i've seen for a "free" event! just keep tabs on the track calendar and social media etc..

Surely it's not Goodwood's place to publicise events they don't run. Any publicity, I would have thought, is up to the organisation that have hired the track.

What a cracking day that appears to have been. I can't blame Goodwood for not publicising it but I'll add it to my radar and try to get along next year. Those are the cars I love and something pre-war is on my radar, weather was probably perfect too biggrin
