So it would seem. I should have quoted my source - which is an email from Goodwood recieved this morning.
Actually, I expect that it is more likely that the other events *may* be subject to moving (FoS and Revival). I hope that they are pretty sure 78MM isn't going to move again.

Yes, Premier Inn for example, haven't realised they should be charging 'event pricing' AKA ludicrous rate for that weekend... yet.

70s F1 demo should be a lot of fun. Hard to know whether to be in the pits or trackside for that one.

I’m assuming the 3rd demo must be even better as they’ve not released info on that yet. I believe it may be the group B running off track that they’ve mentioned.

Arse. Just learned that my Saturday ticket is no use as I have to be elsewhere. The one event of the year that I go to happily on my own. Taking clients to Saracens v Harlequins at White Hart Lane.

Bugger.

Will they let me change to the Sunday do you think?

Great if it's true, but where did you hear about the Group B stuff?

There was something earlier in the year about going off piste with a picture of the rally demo from a few years ago, then the members got a dot to dot Christmas card with Audi Quattros on and then a picture of a Quattro and reference to a sprint in the latest members email.

Not all members Robin, nothing from the GRRC has landed on my Axminster since last November!
