It was - he's a regular at Goodwood, a nice chap too.

That aside, did anyone spot that amazing '356' looking Porsche? I say 'looking' as it was clearly a special of some description, but a 356 I should think.

Did anyone get to see Matt Armstrong? I saw his Lambo on his stand, but didn't see him at all.
I didn’t make it to his interview but saw him twice - once on Friday soaked through as the rest of us in a blue eBay jumpsuit thing. Then looking much happier having a beer on the BMW terrace / grandstand on Sunday afternoon. Didn’t bother him as he looked to just be having a great time as everyone else. Just realised I missed seeing the Murci! banghead

Matt was the only personality I recognised from the crowd (drivers aside). Despite Saturday being cancelled (I made the inspired decision on Friday to buy Sunday tickets from a fellow PH member before any talk of cancellation), I really enjoyed it; my first Sunday having been going for 10+years and I thought it was quieter than the Friday but may have been the lack of umbrellas that did that.
Thanks, I was hoping to get a photo to video of him for my son who is a mad fan of his. Snapped a few of his car though with Matt from Hight Peak Autos in the background, and a Johnny Depp lookalike walking by biggrin

It wasn't that one - but thank you for going to the trouble of looking it up.

It was a spyder/roadster - fabulous looking thing.

Was that the same Porsche that was driven in the first Top Gun film?

Anyone able to post a link to the ticket rollover form for those of us who had Saturday cancelled please?
Seems some have received an email with the rollover link, but not me.
Thanks.

I'm not sure if it's a unique URL as all my info was populated, but the link is also in the email that's just gone out regarding confirmation of the 2024 dates.

Thanks, I have received todays email but there is no link or mention of rolling over my tickets. Maybe I don't qualify? I had bought tickets for the full 4 day event, I wonder if they are just offering rollovers to those who had purchases single day tickets for the Saturday?

Friday was very busy, 2.5 hours in the car park to get to the end of the parking row!! Crazy no stewards and large trucks battling into the site at 6.30 when we were trying to leave, certainly did not help. Absolute gridlock totally ridiculous. Not sure I will go again
