Back on topic. That has got to be the best attended BC I can remember. I particularly liked the collection of 911 / 912s in the paddock. It was nice to see some hypercars braving the ice as well thumbup
Like you, loved the 911 collection, especially the colours...

The simplest thing is get there early!! We got there at 7.45, drove straight in
Strange, I was told the gates didn't even open until 8am but when I did arrive bang on 8 both sides of the track in front of the pits were full, to get that many cars in I'd imagine the gates must have opened around 7:30... scratchchin
I reckon they open soon after 7 .......

I get to Goodwood for the breakfast clubs before 8am these days, not so much to park on-site, but to beat the queues for the bacon and egg rolls ;o). As it's getting bigger with more cars, I'm end up walking around a number of times to get to see everything.
One thing I would like to see is the breakfast club website updated a bit more often, perhaps with some pics of each previous one.

Funny you should mention about drifting in a few minutes earlier, that's exactly what I've started doing, the queues for food and coffees are pretty large by 9am... I took our eldest daughter on Sunday and she wanted a Hot Chocolate rolleyes because 'it's cold daddy'...

15 minutes of queueing later the whining stopped.laugh

Oh how I tried to sneak out, but the promise of 'Sausage in a roll' and hot chocolate is just too much for an 8yr old. When she found out it was the first Breakfast Club (I foolishly let it slip on Friday), she went woohoo and started putting her clothes out ready...rolleyes

Ah well it sounds like you've got her well trained, when she's 17 she'll be wanting a Lotus Elise or something!

Was defrosting the car at the same time as removing the roof at 7.30am wondering what on earth we were doing. Then a Ferrari 365 GTC/4 burbled past and you could hear the sounds of tuned engines in the distance on the A272. Had a lovely drive over, although being pretty cautious as there was ice around. The morning was fantastic with an astounding array of cars and plenty of pleasant folk to chat to. Most of my photos duplicate subject matters already covered, but I quite like this one.

Are you one of these chaps? I was going to come over and chat, but had to go and meet friends so sat in a queue for 10 minutes instead. Had a test drive in an Evora a few months ago; what a car.

Lovely colour scheme Ben - I've seen a few now and that's by far my favourite so far.

Also had a decent drive in one - it's not for me, but nonetheless very impressive.

I was wearing my Gold Leaf Team Lotus shirt. Wish I'd gone over for a chin wag now. Can't get back down for a GBC until August now, but really enjoyed the morning.

Ah you came over with your girlfriend and took a couple of photos and then whizzed off in your Lazer Blue Elise non?

That's right! Although whizzing might've been wishful thinking - sat in a queue for 10mins more likely. Girlfriend really likes the Evora but sadly my budget can't quite stretch to one yet...

We hung around for half or so and waited for the traffic to die down, queue was tres slow to get going though!
