Goodwood stickers on cars and bikes
Discussion
Just me, or would you not want your expensive old racing car/bike to have it's paint/livery blocked up by repeated Goodwood stickers?
They stick out like a sore thumb, especially for those cars that get demonstrated every year/most years and have multiple, they never seem to put one sticker over the other either.
If I owned something with racing history I'd obviously want to go to Goodwood and demonstrate it for the fans and the event but the stickers would do my nut in!
Why do they do it?

probably adds history and therefore value
This. A cars history doesn’t just stop once the rules/technology mean it’s obsolete. The cars demonstrating at goodwood are adding to the history. I would also think a car listed as “eligible” for goodwood events would increase value. As above, it's part of the car/bikes history....by no means compulsory and I'm sure many do remove the stickers, but others choose to leave them.
Many Le Mans cars retain their original entry / scrutineering stickers for similar reasons.
I don't see an issue one way or the other personally.

It doesn’t really add any value at all, when I can go and buy a brand new, tool room copy of any eligible car, get an FIA HTP then enter it at Goodwood, it having contemporary “Goodwood” history rather than period history means very little. I’m all for continuation models but a car having participated in a Revival or the FOS doesn’t add value. There is obviously something about the car that the organisers thought worthy of an entry, that’s where it’s value is.

The thing is you don’t ‘enter it at Goodwood’, you get invited to run the car, so unless it is of interest to them you wouldn’t get an entry, personally I’d leave the stickers on it. mk1coopers said:

Possibly just terminology but for race meetings, the owner fills in a form via BARC and “enters”….. where we’re slightly confusing things is the next bit, unique to MM and Revival where, after the closing date (or sooner perhaps if they really want that car at the event), they select entries based on what makes a good grid and “invite” the owner/driver to attend.
At any other meeting, you enter, and if upon receipt of entry, the race is not over subscribed, you’re in.
