Never seen it so packed - with cars ending up parking on the track (no I don't mean the show cars!)

Got our free Moving Motorshow tickets though! smile

The first time ever that I saw it so packed was the Supercar Sunday theme a few years back.

They're always super busy. I noticed the Goodwood shop had security as well.

I think circa 15,000 +people, I was there from 7.45 till ten and it was rammed!

Oh and what was going on with the Maserati showroom thingy, completely surrounded by the fence so you couldn't have a close look. This is not what is expected at these events - Goodwood if you are reading, don't do this again, it was all a bit pretentious......

Otherwise, what an amazing turnout, and thank your for my FREE thursday FOS tickets

Outstanding turnout of cars today! Great work from the marshals to cope with it all ! But why oh WHY do people have to argue with the marshals on the front gate about why 'Their' car should be allowed in !...Yes you in the red honda s2000 who blocked the road for 5 minutes ! rolleyes

My point made, the fence shouldn't have been there in the first place!!

Lovely girls though.....

The rather Scandinavian looking girl on the Maserati stand was a bit of a honey!

Possibly something to do with the 500 free FOS tickets being given away.

Only to the moving motorshow on the Thursday. And I think in theory, you have to be receiving the Goodwood Breakfast Club email to know about that.

I bet they didn't give the 500 tickets away.

absolutely no doubt that this was the best Breakfast Club ever.. only thing that spoilt it for me was leaving the sd card out of my digital camera and not being able to take any pics... Highlight for me was seeing the EB110 and the 458 Italia.. never seen an EB110 before.....

i've not done the Supercar one before, so was pleased to see a F1 there. Also the 458 was interesting to see. McLaren should have brought down a Mp4-12C IMO.

However, worst thing was the black horsebox (polo horses no less) 2 lorries and a recovery truck that proceeded to cause an almighty tailback of probably 20-30 cars going North away from the place. In the unlikely event they are reading this. Please for fks sake pulll in occassionally rather than fk every one else up with your ignorance!

Oh, and well done to the dick in the Caterham who having been stuck behind myself (who was stuck behind a Jag XKR) decided that he would attempt a 2 car overtake which resulted in him nearly driving into my arse! What exactly do you think my dropping back from teh Jag, dropping a gear and indicating meant on the first dead straight bit of road for about 2 miles? Not even a hint of acknowlegement. I hope your pants were ruined! Cause your hideous face was a picture!

Good turn out today - these Breakfast clubs meets are getting bigger and bigger, certainly since the very first one!

I particularly enjoyed being caught by an Enzo en route to Petworth, with it then overtaking 8 cars, (me, skyline and a gaggle of Caterhams) in one hit.

To the tt in the 430 Scuderia on the way home - lay off the booze or get off the phone. You were all over the road, you nearly took off a passing motorcyclist and wandered across the road as I overtook you too.

Unfortunatley these type of people are a side effect of these events they think cause they own/hired a supercar of some description that they are immune to every law going! it does make my blood boil! if i had the nerve to act like this i know for certain that i would get caught out! that and the small minority of so called know it all's that you find at an event like this, other than that a good event if extremley busy

today was actually bordering on too busy - trying to park and leave was a nightmare due to sheer volume of people - quite a few thought it was a good idea to dodge between moving cars silly
