Can you buy tickets on the gate on sunday?

TIA


There are no gate sales at all as far as I am aware, but I believe they may still be selling on the website and you can collect them at the gate.

Just call me Mr Beetroot head

Think it must have been the cool breeze on the top of the hill, didn't notice at all until I got in the car to leave and saw in the rear view mirror If only I'd have taken the sunglasses off at some point... oh well never mind, large white patches around the eyes don't look too daft do they?!

Just in case some of you have your forums filtered and don't spot it. Ted has granted us a shiny new "Goodwood Events" forum for any new threads etc. What with the breakfast clubs and the Revival amongst others, thought it was good to combine them into one place.

I managed to get up to the Forest Rally stage this year [missed it last time]. It's a long walk up there, and to be honest I'm not sure about it yet- There was very little commentary from the PA speakers in the woods, and the car action was a bit sporadic...give it time though...

Agree about the central display, it was a bit of a let down compared to previous efforts [Mercedes one was my favourite]

Did you know Valentino Balboni was driving the Murci LP640?
