Goodwood FOS this weekend

[wotnoburgers]

Hi all,
Anyone going?
Im travelling down early for the day Sunday from Bedfordshire...

[GenialZ]

Heading down from Buckinghamshire. Got there at 10.30 last year which we felt was too late. Hoping to start earlier this year.

[wotnoburgers]

yes agree 10.30 too late
im aiming to leave about 6am
roads will be clearer then so a better drive

[wotnoburgers]

just been looking at other threads today re the MUD!!
Not sure im going to take the Vantage now which is a bugger to say the least, but do not want to get stuck in the mud

will keep an eye on the feedback from each day re car parks
Will just have to wait to Burghley, hope its dry there!!

[V8Andrew]

Ill be there Saturday as will northernmedia. Taking the Aston, should be fun

[GenialZ]

Promised my son we'd go in the Aston, so the Aston it is.

Just as a heads up.

I was at FOS yesterday - it definitely wellies / boots conditions there.

Also some of the car parks are already quite cut up / very muddy in places.

[northernmedia]

Argh, can't make up my mind!
Leaving in an hour or so for entrance tomorrow.
What to take!?

[northernmedia]

sod it, I'm taking the Vantage.

Some very brave people here.

I arrived at 08.00 Thursday morning and the main car park was already 2 to 3 inches of wet mud. More stewards wpushing cars out of the mud than directing traffic.

I'm on my way there now for both days. Not in the Aston though, was down south for work and got free tickets so staying down here for the weekend instead. First time there, looking forward to it!

I was there today and even after a dry day it was still muddy!
Cars still stuck from Thursday
I went in my Aston but had parking in the Kennel club! Where else would a Staffie park.

The day was amazing even got to go up the hill in a Vantage V12 S manual.
GT8 in front of me and GT12 Roadster behind me.
The sound of the Vulcan everywhere!
What a warm up to Burghley

Performance car parking absolutely fine today in RWD. Car got a bit muddy on the roads around goodwood. Amazing day, Vulcan, GT12 convertible, GT8, DB11 in a colour other than grey!

Hi Andrew,
Im still torn as to what to take?
Do you know what the normal car parks were like?

Normal car parks weren't as good, but as long as your car isn't a complete garage queen you'll be ok. Additional info - take entrance 4 and about half way to the performance car parking you'll see a sign 'Aston Martin parking'. I know at least one person who parked there today with no prior booking and no issue

Snap! Spent the day with AM today and also got driven up the hill in the same car. Awesome experience and AM really looked after us.
