A few random snaps (missed loads as I was mostly chasing my son around!)











Other highlights were the XJR-15 what an epic sound!

The stunning silver 156 GTA station wagon,

The noble with the young lad cleaning it who seemed just about old enough to have a driving licence (fair play!)

The 550 barchetta

Shelby Daytona

And a black c1 (I think) corvette that looked stunning in the sun

That Ferrari was ther real deal. I think the Shelby and the Cobras were all reps. One even had an AC Works chassis plated pop riveted on bulkhead but was in fact a Hawk. I've nothing against repros but to do that is a bit twisted.

415 UXY is a replica - one of a run of 12 built.

The owner of the Shelby Daytona was saying it was one of 9 (I think) of a continuation run

My son told me that just today. Apparently they have to limit events that cause disruption to locals etc .

Was the Aston Zagato right by the main track entrance a replica too?

I was guessing it was because I would have thought if it was genuine it would need its own security detail!

That yellow Matra was remarkable too. Never seen a picture of one of those, let alone seen one in real life and everyone standing round the car seemed to be saying the same thing.

Interesting, I was going on the car being a 1958 so I assume it's based on another 1958 Ferrari. Do you know anything more about it?

Seems to be a Dino engine on a custom chassis.

I didn't spot the Daytona, was it this one which is, I believe a Superformance Le Mans. Looks fantastic doesn't it.

Warning! Possible controversial post ahead!

If they are planning to do this and it is based on the amount of disruption it causes the local residents, can I suggest that Goodwood try getting rid of Supercar Sunday first?

I used to love it. I mean where else would you see five F40s in one place like there was one year? But now it seems to have distorted into a gathering of social media freaks with their massive cameras, general show offs and knob jockeys in their assorted 10 year German wk wagons with the boost ragged up trying out knob their mates on the roads around the circuit and show up any "posh tt" trying to do the same thing in his Ferrari convertible.

Plus with the amount of people that gather at the entrance and at the roundabout, one of these days one of these muppets is really going to try to prove how big his penis is by spearing in off into the crowd and killing someone. That will put an end to Breakfast Clubs full stop.

My feeling is that the other Breakfast Clubs are more friendly, a more interesting selection of cars and just a nicer place to be on a Sunday morning.

There you go, flame away!

The next breakfast club on 25th June is for GRRC members only, so guess they will see how busy that is. That could be the future

Agreed. I avoid Supercar Sunday. Yesterday the vibe on the circuit / paddocks was wonderful but the endless revving etc on Claypit Lane was embarrassing.
