Is it normal to have not received tickets as yet?for Sunday.
I ordered my MM tickets in December and still do not have them, ordered my Sunday tickets last week and they arrived this week. I gave the ticket office a call today and they confirmed the system is slightly odd and indeed my tickets have not been dispatched and won't be until next week.

Mazda is the main attraction for me. I've already got a garish Green tshirt with a 787B on it biggrin

I'll be getting the train from Brighton. Does anyone know if cycling from the Chichester station to the circuit is a good idea? Or should I just take the bus and be stuck in traffic?
Is good wood the sort of place where I could cycle about, like silverstone?

I've not seen a 787b in the flesh as far as I can recall, but fell in love with it after being gifted one on a PlayStation game.

Interesting about the timing of the ticket arrival. Must admit I'm looking a bit worried as my Friday ticket has not turned up yet. Can't ever remember them being dispatched this late.

However if it does turn up the F1 heroic failures display, the various assorted Mazdas and Petty in the Superbird will be my favourites. Maybe this year the Life F1 will make it up the hill. smile

I have been chasing my Sunday tickets for the last 4 weeks, ordered them Nov last year. Apparently they installed a new system and it has some bugs.

Yesterday after telling me 3 times over the last 4 weeks that my tickets had been dispatched, they cancelled my order and voided the tickets and have started a new order process.

Fingers crossed that they arrive. My Revival tickets came 7 days after I ordered them.

What am I looking forward to? My ####ing ticket finally arriving without me having to call Goodwood again and be told 'let us know if it doesn't arrive, enjoy the event!'

I've read that an F1 GT will be there. One of my "unicorn" cars. (My own definition for cars that I'd love to see but never expect to due to their rarity.)

Mad mike going up the hill would of been a good one but he doesn't seem to be there as he's in America for the Formula drift.

Ken Block in the awd Mustang is a good one.

And also as been mentioned the Mazda 787b is one I hope I catch as ive watched listened to a lot of videos on Youtube and to hear one in real life would be awesome.


I'm doing it all in a day, never been before but how likely is it i'm going to get enough time to watch the hill with all the stands going on? Is there a time table for when certain cars are going up?

I believe he is attending certainly a lot of stuff on the grrc website about him coming.

As for the tickets I was speaking to the ticket office the other day and sounds like the implementation of the new ticketing site (which is a HUGE improvement) has buggered up a lot of tickets getting printed.

He attended last week I think to do some promotional drifting for a video. His RX7 is there but I spotted on instagram earlier his MX5 getting prepared for Formula D this weekend so doesn't look like he'll be at FOS.
