I look forward to the whole day; the drive down with other interesting cars / seeing interesting cars on the way down, taking a picnic, the atmosphere once you are there. But for me, the show highlight is the Times Supercar stand and the subsequent parade. The Louis Vitton (I think) stands are fantatsic too, with a mix of exotica / unusual past and present.... bounce

Very little in the press! Seriously!!! confused We've enjoyed more than double our usual press coverage and also loads of plugs on Radio and TV.. Have a look at our website www.goodwood.co.uk/fos and click on the latest news section for all the updates.

Cheers,
J

I am looking forward to seeing the AMV12 RS myself smile (If it makes it that is)

Whatever the press coverage has been, and what with only living down the road, I would have to agree with jimpritchard and say that I have also seen very little of anything related to it, not that I have been looking, but it's not been in my face either.

All I have seen are the leaflets that sit in the local garages every year.

The website mentions "the first UK sighting of the new Artega GT, Nissan GT-R and Mazda Furio concept in action."

And yet here is a pic of it at last years Festival ??

I'm looking forward to seeing the sun rather than the rain as forecast frown

But that aside, the F1 paddock and runs up the hill.

Everything! Each time I go I get more into the older cars and I'm particularly keen to see racers from the 70s. And the formula 1 burnouts are always mind-blowing.

All bikes, cars, exotics & rare stuff that aren't usually seen, vintage stuff, old racers (Agostini, Surtees, Moss, Doohan etc) new racers (but always LESS accessible than the older fellas)

As much as poss !! Looking forward to a good couple of days -Oh & hopefully sunshinewink

One of the highlights, if not _the_ highlight was the drag car "cackle-fest" - truly awesome amount of noise! If you get the chance it's really worth the trek - take earplugs else they may try to move you back (they were handing out earplugs too but limited supply).
