There will be a GRRC members' Breakfast club on 6th June
Sounds like a very good way to check how their COVID restrictions are going to work in relation to the bigger events later in the year. Smaller and more governable crowd to see how its going to function.

They are accepting entries for GRRC Members cars only, I believe it will then be a case of receiving an email saying if you were successful in getting an entry to display (much like the current system) after the display is sorted there will then be a opportunity to get tickets to attend but not display, GRRC first then Fellowship if the numbers aren't where they would like them to be.

I suspect quite a lot of checking of tickets on this one as people will no doubt try to get in if they can, running it this way gives something back to the Membership and lets Goodwood have a trial run of having a reasonable number back at the Estate.

Been seeing the posts on the Members FB page, looks like really wide variety of cars and years, should be great line up smile

There was a lot of very diverse metal on show today

And my favourite of the day.

Agreed!

One of the best Breakfast clubs i have been to in my opinion.

In terms of Covid , genuinely felt like it didn't exist. People mixed , no Masks.


When we are allowed to , it really isn't going to take long for people to get back to normal.





















My Chariot , still filthy from the GRRC Dorset drive the day before!

I see what you mean - I think I spotted a squashed fly on the windscreen.

And maybe a bug on the numberplate?

Next Breakfast Club is on Sunday 1st August and the theme is Classic Car Sunday (Pre-1981).

This time it will be open to all, not just members.

You can now register to display your car. Spectator tickets available from either 17th or 19th July (both dates are mentioned so I'm not sure which is correct).

The Goodwood team confirmed my car was accepted to display at the Aug 1st breakfast club. I’ve not been to one before. What time do folks typically arrive? It says gates open from 06:30 but that would be a 4:30 start for me!

That's right. People start arriving at 06:30 and continue to drift in up to 08:30. If you have a grid pass you will want to get their early, if on the other hand your pass says 'Site Access' you will get directed to anywhere there's space so not quite such a rush. Be warned though, it is considered to be a breakfast event, not lunch, so some people are surprised when cars start to drift away at 10:30. What are you bringing?

aim for between 7-7:30 ... early as you can manage!

My 1951 car (200 made, maybe 20 survive) has been accepted for Site Access, but not on the grid, hopefully that means there's going to be some pretty rare stuff on the grid!

I wouldn't get stressed about where you are. It's irrelevant. No point in getting blood pressure when you see a Mini or Ford Anglia on the grid while your 1 in 20 car is in the paddock. Breakfast clubs are not like that. laugh

Mine was accepted and it’s defo not rare (1970 MGB GT). Very much an affordable classic but priceless to me as it was bought new by my grandparents from the London motor show, so only 1 former keeper before he passed it on to me.

You have an invite, there will be plenty of variety attending from mainstream to one offs, you will be inside the circuit, what's not to like smile
