Poor Charles March, he must be incandescent! This is a total fiasco! Brilliant that FoS is cleared to go ahead, but really?!
The Gov has lost it's way totally and really messing up peoples lives and livelihoods.
We are all grown up enough to make decisions for ourselves now surely? Anyway roll on FoS, looking forward to it.
The past year and a half has shown that the people are absolutely not grown up enough to make their own decisions.The Gov has lost it's way totally and really messing up peoples lives and livelihoods.

I'm sure lots of visitors , exhibitors and race teams have been waiting for this news but there must be thousands of people , especially if you are coming from abroad , that either can't travel , don't fancy the hassle , or simply won't be ready in time
I'm sure that Goodwood will say everything will be perfect but I can't help wondering what the 'show' will actually consist of . In fairness there's always more than you could ever see in a day but I hope that the punters that do attend aren't disappointed .
Like many others here I always look forward to the Goodwood events and have been attending from the first year . I never forget how lucky I am to live 8 miles away from the greatest motorsport events in the world and agree that we need , with caution , to get things back to normal , but getting the green light 17 days before the gates open is simply staggering.

There was a discussion on this forum many years ago about what batches people would like to see, in the ten years or whatever since that discussion I don't think much has actually changed apart from maybe the now regular addition of some drift cars (and the loss of the Wacky Races!) I'd take an 80s supercar batch as something a little different, easy (relatively speaking) to pull together within the UK as well with the contacts the team have.
An easy win would be to pull over a lot more of the rally stage cars for a run on the hill. I'd also love to see them invite a range of UK motorsport specials, some amazing stuff running in club events around the country that would make for an exciting and very different batch.

I love the event, have attended for many years and would never take it for granted, but on a basic level the event has seen broadly the same cars, batches etc for a long, long time now. I'm actually looking forward to some enforced changes and possibly a slightly more relaxed/smaller scale event, if indeed that's what it will be.

The team start work the week after the fos, focusing on the transport of the vehicles for the next years event.There was a discussion on this forum many years ago about what batches people would like to see, in the ten years or whatever since that discussion I don't think much has actually changed apart from maybe the now regular addition of some drift cars (and the loss of the Wacky Races!)

With no event last year and question marks over this year. Plus the shipping problems all round the world.
It's how many are already here, the nascars are stored locally with a rented spanner man for the event.
A lot of the bikes are from the uk.
That's a brilliant idea about getting some different club race vehicles in the mix.
Can someone please point me towards the 'control' event (where one can enter after a test, regardless of its outcome) that the Events Research Programme must be including in order to ascertain whether the 'guilty until proven innocent' / medical segregation approach of 'no negative test or no jab = no entry' has any material effect?

I have a ticket but will probobly not go the Experimental Jab seems unsafe and the test seems just away for the government to pump up cases. I was looking forward to it but if this is the new normal forget it . Went to a goodwood trackday last week was there any of this crap no what is the difference please explain .Glosole said:

How many people (nearest 10,000 will do) were at your trackday?Glosole said:

How many people were at your trackday? 100? 200? Guess how many thousands went to FOS in 2019. There's your difference. If we want such large scale events to go ahead then some concessions will have to be made, at least in the short term.
These concessions are either two jabs or recognised proof of not carrying the plague into a crowd. Neither are perfect solutions, but aren't much of a hardship.
