Indeed Mr Firecracker,

For me Goodwood is a truly wonderful place and has an atmosphere that for me is only equalled by Brooklands in my humble opinion. It's one of the few places that you can actually feel the history even if there is no meeting going on and I'm just there for a stroll around.

A truly special place and I for one am oh so pleased that the breakfst clubs are such a success as I'm sure that the circuit needs as much support as it can get, plus I cannot think of a better way of spending a lazy sunday morning! biggrin
As I started this thread I may as well add a postscript to it.

Couldn't agree more with your comments guys. Both Brooklands and Goodwood are very special places.

The Breakfast club had a great feeling in the early stages last year but did suffer by being to a limited extent a victim of its own success. Three options - either limit it to GRRC members, or charge, or leave it alone but manage it better.

I would admit that the appeal for me has diminished knowing that the hordes will decend and unless my car qualifies and I get there at crack of dawn and am lucky with the draw I am lumped along with everyone else. The reason why this rankles a little is that I have been a GRRC member for 10 years but can't get better treatment than a chav who has turned up in a trevved saxo. Call me a snob or toff or whatever you like but could us GRRC types not at least have our own parking area? Or is this too non-inclusive and un-PC ?

If not then Goodwood runs the risk of a lot of it's own GRRC members not turning up because they have been overrun by everyone else.

I await the slings and arrows shoot



The right event will mean the right crowd but as for no crowding....where can you go these days without a crowd.
