Hot hatch b'fast club - circuit admissions

[ash reynolds]

Well, as good as this day is I can't work out how they decided what to put where. Some clearly deserved to be where they were parked but for others the rationale for placement was less clear. And why were there so many empty areas on the circuit itself??

I had no issues, arrived at 0830 straight onto the circuit. Personally if I have a pass and I'm parked anywhere within the circuit boundaries then I'm happy, I'd only be annoyed if I had a grid pass and wasn't allowed on the grid.

As for keeping cars of the same manufacturer together that would be boring and also hard to manage for the volunteers on the day.

I arrived at 7-20 with a pass and got put in the car park on the right just as you go in. Not terribly impressed to see all the unused space.

Maybe 'that's a nice pink Fiat'
Just kidding

I was one of the first there this morning and while waiting to be allowed on I was chatting to a couple of the stewards, they were saying how over subscribed the event was. I always feel everything at Goodwood is well run, particularly for a free event. It's a fantastic setting and everyone is warm and friendly.

I'm not sure how an event like this gets over subscribed when they have control over the number of entrants. They know precisely how many they can handle and there shouldn't be any surprises on the day when they manage the arrivals, even if they do turn up earlier than expected.

A friend of mine phoned me to ask where my car was and he hadn't realised they'd filled the car park on the right with entrants as well.

That car park has always been used, often not for themed cars but for interesting cars and motorbikes. There is often a lot of people browsing the car park and the pass does say "site access" which as I understand it the car park is certainly within the site.

I've had a number of people ask me where my car was as they never saw it despite registering as a themed car many months beforehand. Awareness seems to have been low. There are very few photo threads around including the car park.
I don't have a problem with the arrangement per se and I agree on the term 'site access' but I personally was disappointed to have spent so many hours preparing the car to find myself there when I noticed so much empty space inside the circuit. The tarmac area at Woodcote was empty which I'm sure I've always seen used previously.

That's life as they say!
