Breakfast Club Meets at Goodwood

No, its not a surreal sequel to the 80s movie...



The Goodwood Breakfast Club has announced the themes for its 2009 season. Since 2006, the monthly event has aimed to attract every flavour of petrol head with a broad variety of themed meets at the iconic circuit.

As in the past, the club will meet on the first sunday of each month from March onward, except in June and August when the event will be moved to the last Sunday of the month to prevent a clash with preparations for the Festival of Speed (3-5 July).

Sadly, it remains unlikely that Judd Nelson or Molly Ringwald will be in attendance...

Here is the schedule that Goodwood released today:

Date/Theme Details
1 March: 'Mini Mayhem - for all Small Sporting Runabouts' Celebrating everything from the original Mini to the archetypal hot hatch and modern Supermini, plus RV sporting light aircraft.
5 April: 'Fabulous Family Favourites - from Fords to Flaminias' Any practical collector's car with room for all the family, plus four-seater and fixed gear aircraft.
3 May: 'Everything But The Car - from Bikes and Buses to Tractors and Trucks' All forms of motorised transport except conventional passenger cars. Motorcycles, scooters, three-wheelers, campers, light and heavy commercial vehicles, off-road workhorses, other utility vehicles and even aircraft are all welcome - nothing is too bizarre!
7 June: 'Supercar Sunday - the Ultimate Performance Machines' Mouth-watering (and mostly mid-engined!) ultimate performance cars and exotic superbikes, plus aerobatic aircraft.
28 June:'Performance Car Legends - post-1970 Driver's Cars' Sports and GT cars from the 1970s to the present day, from Jensen Interceptor to Ariel Atom, as well as Lotus, Caterham, TVR, Porsche and many more, plus retractable aircraft.
5 July: N/A Not held due to Goodwood Festival of Speed
2 August: 'Soft Top Sunday ­- a Taste of the British Summer' Roofless cars of all ages, shapes and sizes, plus all open cockpit aircraft.
30 August:'Thoroughbred Sunday - the Quintessential Classic Car and Motorcycle' Any pre-1966 road vehicle or aircraft in the spirit of Goodwood circuit's golden days.
6 September: N/A Not held due to Goodwood Revival preparations
4 October: 'Maserati Magnifica ­- a Tribute to the Trident and other Italian Icons' For all Maseratis and any other Italian collector's vehicles, from a Lambretta to a Lamborghini, plus Continental aircraft.
1 November: 'Souped-up Sunday - Modified and Custom Vehicles of all Ages' Everything from hot rods and custom cars to contemporary urban cruisers, plus home-built aircraft.
6 December:'Breakfast Club Christmas Cracker' Any cherished car or aircraft, preferably with a heater and plenty of boot space for your Christmas shopping. Yule be glad you came!

Would love to be there with the Golf GTI on 1st March, but working in what remains of the motor trade means I'll (hopefully) be busy that day...

Seems a bit different from last year, I thought they usually kept them the same.

Maserati Magnifica and soft top Sunday both look like they'd be well worth the trip. I've been to several and always a nice day whatever your preference.

I think it's a good thing they're being included. You don't want to get too snobbish about cars, and the people who drive them. Otherwise you get into "the right crowd, and no crowding" ethos, which can be a bit annoying sometimes.
