Super Car Sunday
Discussion
Got there around half 8.
Didn't see the 918 and we were passed by a Koenisegg going in the opposite direction.
Nothing wrong with all the cars, but none of the F1s, or other Hypercar royalty (Carrera GT and SLRs aside) of previous years. I guess the weather put a lot off.
Car parking was a bit grim, but surprisingly still passable

Fantastic turnout considering the s
t weather.
Now I would just like to say a Very big well done to all the Marshals involved in putting this event on, to the marshal operating the car park between the entrance and the Rolls Royce roundabout, Spotted you just in time, almost soaked you
Well done guys, Top Effort.

Well done guys, Top Effort. Random observation that I'm sure a lot of people spotted, the civilian speed radar guy right at the 30 sign coming down from the 40 in Singleton.
There was a chap sat in a grey pickup on the right, in a high vis jacket, drinking a coffee. I wondered if he was a local guy getting fed up with these events and just compiling a list to help his case. I'm sure a lot of people saw this?

Hi Shmee, I've seen them there before, If I recall correctly it was V power Sunday last year There was a chap sat in a grey pickup on the right, in a high vis jacket, drinking a coffee.

To be fair if your not a Petrol head fan I can see how it would start to grate on you hearing the cars rumble through the Villages, I used the Petworth road for a change this time
I know of a few in the surrounding villages getting hacked off with various Goodwood events...
A big part of it is people not quite realising that nice cars come through constantly, and whilst for the driver on a day out it's often a nice novel way of hearing your exhaust bouncing off the walls, for the locals it gets tiresome.
I'm south of GW, and frankly you can all bounce off the limited whenever you want outside mine (as long as it's not the kid's bedtime!), but I can empathise...

To the Young photographer standing all alone at the Milford roundabout in the pouring rain at 7am this morning, Hope you got some great pics, top effort Sir.
good effort... 
I didn't realise the event was on but driving down the A27 to see mother in law in shoreham, didn't take long to notice a 288 followed by yellow 220, they definitely stand out amongst the Porsche......
Well done to one and all, must have been fun after seeing some of the standing water on the main roads then checking out the roads round Charlton on the way home.
I hope all had a great and safe day

I laughed when the Yellow La Ferrari was sent to the car park behind the circuit, he asked nicely and they sent him over to the circuit, I guess he should've been sent there in the first place
Only phone snaps today as left my proper camera at home.
