I think I'd rather vote for that new Alfa Giulia than an overblown TT confused At least there was only one of it rather than an endless sea of identical R8s

....nahhh, it's still the Iso Grifo for me, ta cool

Certainly a beautiful car.

I think there more Nissan GTRs than there were R8s to be fair, and the hideous pink pearl wrapped one really didn’t deserve to be there did it?

On a side note, I would like to thank all the Marshalls and staff who also had to get up at Stupid Oclock and then work out where they were going to put us smile
Thank you - it is nice to be appreciated - Ed

I think someone's been extremely enthusiastic with their voting and no it wasn't me biggrin

Aventador and F50 for me but overall, I thought the show was missing some more exotic supercars. Potentially though the event could be huge, with additional stalls, displays etc. to make it more of a day out and attract those hypercars.

As for the cars, I felt it was missing a few. Yes, there was a couple of F1's, P1, the odd Aventador, LFA, Carrera GT etc. but a LaFerrari, Pagani, Koenigsegg, Enzo, Veron etc., even coned off, would've really enhanced the supercar event.
I went into London after I’d left and within 20 mins I’d seen a zonda and LaFerrari Aperta...

Maybe they were all hiding in London and not goodwood. hehe

That's not really the point of the Breakfast Clubs though - it's not designed to be a family day out supercar extravaganza. It (used to be) about a few car enthusiasts turning up to Goodwood on a Sunday morning to take advantage of clear roads, poke around some interesting cars and be back before lunch!

You can't expect them to drive all that way!

I went (as i do) & finally arrived early to this Breakfast Club for once!

Once i got there, i happily waited in the queue waiting for the gates to open. And once they did i had my bag inspected (which i'm glad about), gave them my ticket & i was free to enjoy my time at the circuit & look at what was arriving on a glorious Sunday morning.

The selection of cars may have been better in years past, but i was delighted to see what did come for the morning & on a personal level, i was the happiest i've ever been at a Breakfast Club, not just because of the cars but also of the people i stopped to talk to me. One even gave me a card & a present for my birthday later this week!


Overall a very enjoyable & great morning. And no famous You Tuber's to distract us either! Well, apart from Jonny Smith but he's a lot cooler.

Also i'd like to thank & congratulate the marshals & Goodwood staff for not only being really nice guys, but also for keeping the event under control & safe for all, especially at this most busy (but not as busy as last years!) Breakfast Club.

And on that, here's my pics!

Enjoy!

All the exotic stuff arrived Monday for a trackday, gunnery Apollo, SLR Stirling Moss, Porsche 911 GT1, CLK GTR and Zenvo TS-R.

Dayam, that's a lot of pics! Thanks for filling in all the stuff I missed (appears, for example there were two Carrera GTs there of which I saw precisely none, annoyingly confused)

No, you're right but as with everything, as you have said yourself, things always change.

I was however able to take advantage of some clear roads and was back in time for lunch!
