Not if they are using grass roots and Goodwood in the same sentence. It wasn’t true back in the day and it most certainly hasn’t been true in its second coming. Amusingly, I’d argue the only bit of GW which has got close to that has been the FoS.

If you read what Lockhouse said it's that he's not renewing Goodwood and is supporting grass roots events instead.

I think we all understand that Goodwood isn't synonymous with "grassroots", that's surely the point of the discussion. The debate isn't about what Goodwood is but what it isn't.

The mission statement in the GRRC annual report states: "Goodwood's objective is to be the world's leading luxury experience brand..." No mention anywhere of cars or motor racing. The question is, is that strategy working for the motor circuit events, particularly the MM?

The email ref Festival of Speed I got this morning was very odd.
The text version is on about dogs and 'goodwoof', whereas the HTML version is the FoS stuff.

Qwolity.

I’ve previously been told off by the “club” for suggesting they employ a proofreader, however I repeated that in my feedback in the mass exodus, that I have yet to receive a newsletter without an error. Whilst I get mistakes happen to continually repeat month after month would have most people out of a job. Good to know all our feedback was listened to
