GFOS - bike parking?

[surfsofa]

Going to the Goodwood Festival of Speed next Friday

Is there any dedicated bike parking or is it a case of in the field with the cars?

OK, trying a bounce on this one.

Has anyone been to Goodwood Festival of Speed on their bike? Is there decent bike parking there or is it easier to forget it and just take the car?

The leaflet that came with my tickets says:

"Limited hard standing is available for motorcycles, along with two helmet stores: one at Goodwood Motor Circuit and one at the Exhibition Are at the Event"

I'd take something to put under the stand just in case (the ground is fairly soft even when dry).

At last year's FoS the bike parking was at the circuit with free minibuses laid on to take you up to the house. There's a free helmet store at the bike park too.

At the Revival the year before they had special hard standings put out in the main car parking field for bikes.

Goodwood events really are geared up to look after bikers properly so enjoy beating the queues.

ETA: In my experience Goodwood's "limited" bike parking is generally limited to about 8,000 bikes.

I took the bike to the FOS a few years ago and there was more than enough hardstanding for the bikes. Probably double the room needed in fact! There was also a secure store for helmet & gear and ample minibuses to ferry us to the gates. The big plus of going on the bike was filtering past the miles of cars on the way out- I bet we saved well over an hour!
