Goodwood is a simply wild circuit but does come at a premium price.
Have you tried Thruxton ? Similar styled circuit at fraction of the cost.
And for some reason Javelin days you can overtake both sides vs most other is left only.
It too quick and short for overtake on the left only to really work if you get mixture of abilities and capabilities.Have you tried Thruxton ? Similar styled circuit at fraction of the cost.

Goodwood scares me more than the ring and I’ve done the ring when it snowed once. It’s a wild crazy lap.
Thruxton is similar and some TD have run overtake either side days to combat.

All my Javelin days have been left overtaking only + also not when you see people braking for a corner.Have you tried Thruxton ? Similar styled circuit at fraction of the cost.

I've done a few trackdays at Goodwood with higher noise limits - so just 7 on track at once. It worked fine. I didn't see anyone getting held up. I guess it might depend on the TDO. Goodwood scares me more than the ring and I ve done the ring when it snowed once. It s a wild crazy lap.

IMHO it’s more the number on track the 10+ days is where it gets a bit crowded if left only. LarJammer said:
I've always fancied trying out the Goodwood circuit. Tried booking on their site and all dates are grayed out until July. There are some dates available on trackdays.co.uk but the price is £300 more than the official site! Am I missing something? Is there another option?
You can book certain car club Goodwood days as a non-member. The Lancia Motor Club for example. Bear in mind though, if you're in a modern powerful machine, you'll be sharing the track with mainly classic cars.I've done Goodwood a few times, and it's brilliant, especially for older less powerful cars with limited braking. Numbers on track are limited to 10, maybe 12. The last time I went, I got loads of track time in the afternoon.
It's over £400 these days, but that includes the posh luncheon.

I've done 4 trackdays at both Thruxton and Goowood.
Both very fast circuits with different characters. Goodwood has some very high speed sections, with unusual road cambers and bumps, it can catch you out easily.
I have booked both directly with Goodwood , with fellowship days and the Evo track days held there. It's very professional, supremely well organised and fair in terms of track time/ amount of cars on track (usually limited to 6-8 max depending on session).
A big plus for Goodwood is that you can either prebook or pay for instructors to sit in and give you tuition, This is worth it's weight in gold. You can do a full day of instruction including data telemetry analysis and coaching etc. Pricey mind.
Thruxton, it's a fast flowing circuit with some bends that take some mastering- you are doing well over 140mph on the hill up to the last chicane, the downhill sections at back of circuit are very fast and despite the open nature of the airfield circuit, there are no real runoff areas.
Not quite as slickly organised or as much of a premium event as Goodwood.
DM if you want deeper info. I've got 3 days at G/W and 1 trackday at Thruxton already booked this year.
