Looks like its going to be heavy rain all day, not sure about Monday now.

I can't find any site forecasting heavy rain, all I can see is a bit of drizzle in the morning and brightening later. As you know, we have our own micro-climate at Goodwood anyway so it's likely to be 20deg and sunny all day..

For the record I'm just down the road in Hambrook and the weather has been clear from rain all day, forecast tomorrow is supposed to be the same, let's see lol

That is true, I'll probably still pop along.

Just seen that this is free! I will pop along if the weather holds, I cant think of a better way to spend a bank holiday monday!

Whats the traffic like for these events, i'm close (pulborough), but i know the big ones clog up the roads for about a 20 mile radius

[iva cosworth]

So i am up for it as i have done SFA for the last 2 days.

Would love to see the times/results if someone can post them!

[Gargamel]

I also came and saw, freezing soaking an horrible. I watched the first session until the 7 slipped off. The went off to look for food.

Some nice cars in the paddocks, the fastest time I saw was the mg averaged 70 mph and round in about 1'28.

Decent effort in the rain, lots of other things were twitching all over the place.

Any pics of that Lotus F1 car in the background.

Looks like a 76 to me. The all adjustable one that was supposed to replace the 72.

[Frimley111R]

This isn't FB you know. We really don't need to see a pic of your brekky.

[Stevemcmaster]

Dan - good to meet you - maybe we can tempt you back out later in the season - my Championship is back at Goodwood on the 28th, with a round at Lydden this weekend...

Good work getting into the top 10 against the GTRs etc - top result...

Ah, but our little known unofficial tagline is 'PistonHeads - Sausages Matter', this being a topic of hot debate when previously raised! And the Goodwood snags are particularly good.

Good work in the Clio too Steve, you must be mega chuffed with that result and, as an ex-Cup owner I'm proud to see you taking the class win. Well done!

[garypotter]

what a great day had by all, was this advertised on PH before the event?

Will look out for further time trials dates in the near future.
