Revival Questions
Discussion
It's been at least 5 (maybe more!?) years since i last went to the Revival an we've got General Entrance tickets for the Sunday. So we intend to watch a few of the races and wander the site but can someone remind me:
Is access to the circuit interior (i.e the paddock, etc) only accessible by the 1 tunnel?
Can you spectate and see the racing action from inside the circuit when you've crossed over the tunnel? without grandstand tickets?
Are the Paddocks entirely closed to non GRRC members?
Are the Tractor stops that take you out to the further corners for GRRC members only or can anyone jump on?
Can you access the start line or the finish chicane as a normal GE ticket holder without going into the Grandstand? In the normal grass viewing bank areas?
I've answered a lot of my questions from the Goodwood website but would like some input from regular attendees on PH that know the score with this event.

Thanks for the help in answering my questions for the Revival it helped me and the misses make the most of the day on Sunday.
i don't expect any of the following to be ground breaking or never been said before but....
Having not been to the Revival for perhaps 7 years (maybe more), i was surprised at how much the event has grown and changed (nearly all for the better, a little for the worst). The attention to detail to recreate the period was second to none. I'm glad we choose to make an effort with the clothing as i estimate that 95% of people were in period or very smartly dressed! I heard lots of different accents and nationalities and saw many different number plates suggesting this is a huge event globally. Racing aside, the side shows, music and theatre that is put on is great part of the event and not to be missed. incredible how many people are attending the Revival purely for the lifestyle side of the event.
We thought that the "Over the Road" and fun fair area was good but a large amount of very similar stalls offering vintage clothing or restoration services. I wonder how much business this generates and was surprised that you could access this area without a ticket.
I could of spent a lot more time just looking round the car parks at this event and it's only a shame that they can't somehow incorporate some of this into the event a little better. Not a criticism but only a thought to how displaying some more of these vintage cars would add to the event.
My one bad thing:-
I was surprised at the amount of areas/bars/restaurants/eateries that were badge holder / VIP only. Not sure if i am the only one that feels that way and perhaps the badge holder / VIPs like the exclusivity of this but i think events like this should be inclusive to everyone. If you're dressed in period and have purchased a ticket i can't see the need to restrict an area, for it is unlikely you'll have attracted the wrong type of person to need to exclude in the first place.
Does it make me think about becoming a GRRC member.... Yes possibly but it's a shame that it's not possible to enjoy every aspect without this need. I would be interested to hear what other people make of this? Do GRRC members feel like they got good value or exclusive treatment?
