and now 14 IMSA/Group C TWR Jaguars.....
This will be loud and epic.
I’m assuming the 3rd demo must be even better as they’ve not released info on that yet. I believe it may be the group B running off track that they’ve mentioned.

Great if it's true, but where did you hear about the Group B stuff?
There was something earlier in the year about going off piste with a picture of the rally demo from a few years ago, then the members got a dot to dot Christmas card with Audi Quattros on and then a picture of a Quattro and reference to a sprint in the latest members email.

Not all members Robin, nothing from the GRRC has landed on my Axminster since last November!
I’ve had emails and the last post was the dot to dot.

My fellowship expired a year ago and I got the promotional stuff through for this including the Group B dot to dot, are they struggling to sell out to members again?
The email I got this week suggests ticket sales are beyond where they normally are for this time of year based on previous events.

Looks like Goodwood have really pulled their finger out this year. I received my badges for the MM in yesterday's post.

In previous years it has been as late as the Monday before.
Reminds me I actually need to collect mine. Annoyingly I’m in Chichester the next couple of weeks but after the ticket office is closed so will need to find a good track day to go and watch.

I'm expecting this to be cancelled or at the least postponed, given the cancellation of Sunday's (yesterday) breakfast club on the basis that all the car parking fields were too wet.
Unless we get a very dry spell between now & the end of the month they will still be sodden given the clay rich soil.
The purpose of the cancelling yesterday’s event was to enable the MM to go ahead without any existing damage to the fields.

There is nothing about a date change on the Goodwood website, nor have I received an email
There is.

Back in September that happened due to the F1 calendar. With all Goodwood events until the F1 calendar is published I wouldn’t purchase tickets.

Looking at the news I think we will have an answer to if it will go ahead in a few hours.

I imagine it’s to do with insurance. If Goodwood cancel it’s out of their pocket. If government forces them to cancel insurance pay.

All front page headlines are suggesting Monday could be decision day on if large scale events go ahead. Sadly I think the event will be cancelled as it’s right at peak predicted virus stage.

And it happens to be the best weather we've had for years this time.
It would have been bitterly cold at the circuit this weekend if yesterday’s bit of exercise in southsea is anything to go by.

Not M M but noting revival tickets are on sale so confidence or hope is on the horizon?
They just never took them off sale.

Also worth saying that the new dates follow Easter Weekend...
Slap bang in the middle of Easter half term. If the date doesn’t change (which I expect it will) and the world is back to Some sort of normality I imagine a lot of people will be on holiday.

Hoping festival of speed is announced for early september
Not a chance. I think it’s unlikely we will see the revival this year.
