Anyone know if there is any particular car park at FOS better suited to low slung cars?

How low. The main carpark is a field, but there are plenty of sports cars that get in and out just fine

Main snag is the step up/down onto the metal matting laid at the car park field entrances. I lost various bits from my TVR over the years going to Goodwood events, including the nose lift spoiler one year and most recently the engine sump plug at the 73rd Members' Meeting. Hence now sold as a project to new owner for complete rebuild. Be careful out there this weekend folks!

I've got 3.5 inches to play with! nuts It's the initial lip of the metal matting that can catch the sacrificial front splitter.

3.5"? Bloody luxury!

Take it easy and investigate if there are any mechanically violent crunching noises when driving onto the matting. Which I should have done...

As an aside, last year we were 'randomly' directed in the traffic stream and had no input as to which parking field we ended-up in.

If in doubt take the daily driver.

I like to play with a few more inches myself.

Someone managed to get a Radical in a few cars away from me in the field so you should be absolutely fine

I've taken a 996 RS before...though I guess depends which car park you end up going in...
