Goodwood Breakfast Meetings

[Smiffack993]

Having recently read in this months EVO magazine that the Breakfast
Meetings at Goodwood have been very popular and a great Sunday morning out, I wondered how many participants from the Porsche forum regularly go or have been before.

I am tempted to make a trip down next month. What sort of setup is it? I regularly go to the speed festival so im assuming the location is the same??

Any feedback good or bad would be welcome.

Thanks,

Took the 993 to the last breakfast meeting. It's held on the circuit rather than the hill climb past the house.
It was a German car theme so plenty of Porches to look at and like minded people to talk to.

No admission charge and the full breakfast was £10 and decent but quite a queue. You need a nice sunny day and get there early if you want to park in the paddock complex.

I enjoyed it.

I dont think there is a meetas the Revival is in September but the last one for the year is a themed one called gone in sixty seconds

I have been to 2 this year the Supercar sunday was by far the best one with plenty of exotic cars to see and the German car one was ok but some strange cars on display

Some posters from the other Porsche forums arranged a bit of a convoy from West London with a stop on the A3 to pick up more cars which was a good laugh

Go early as it is all over by about midday

Go every time, have done for last 12 montsh or so.
Its got really really popular, the numbers of people going have grown every time.

Format is same though, turn up & park (paddock if your car is deemed "worthy" or the car park if its not) then have a look around at the assembled exotica. Grab a breakfast (sit down or bacon roll from a van)
People are very friendly and the cars on display (whatever the theme) are worth going to see.
We tend to go early, to get a good drive down, and get there for around 8.15am and stay for about 2 hours.

Worth the trip, just remember its a static display type event, no racing on track etc.

I actually wonder if at some point they will start charging for admission, due to the costs now of putting it on - there are now marshalls directing traffic in, staff needed for the breakfasts, etc.

Also, at the last 2/3, the Police have started sitting outside the exit. Never used to, and part of the fun was standing by the exit & seeing all the cars giving it large down the road (nothing dangerous, just fun) which now doesn't happen.
