Supercar Sunday/Breakfast Club is on next weekend. Can anyone go to the event or do you have to have a 'super' car to go etc.

Cheers.

Anyone can turn up, it's free to get in - but only owners of "Supercars" will get to park on the track etc. hehe

How come it's free to get in? Can you get up close and personal or is it just a wander round the perimeter and a gaze over the fence at the pit straight?

Make the most if it. It seems too good to be true and for once it's not.

You'll get close enought to touch, but please don't!!


Breakfast Club ROCKS.

It's free to anyone who wants to come and have a good look round some fantastic cars. It's subsidised to an extent by us GRRC members subscriptions. It's a good platform to show off what the Goodwood estate has to offer, from the horse racing to the aero club and of course the FOS and revival meetings. All publicity is good publicity especialy in these harsh economic times.

Cool, I only went to Goodwood for the first time a couple of weeks ago, pretty poor as it is only down the road smile

I will definately be going to the breakfast club then especially as it is free.

Thanks for the advice.

Hi again,

Anyone know what time it starts on Sunday? - I've looked on the Goodwood website but I couldn't find it.

Cheers.

You'll need to be getting there around 9 or earlier for this one as it will be popular. When you say do you peer over the perimeter fence I'm not sure what you're expecting. There's no running on the track, it's static display in front of the pits and a nice display of cars in the paddocks and parking areas. Plus bacon baps and butties... wink

afaik it isn't. Nothing to do with the GRRC. It's organised by the Motor Circuit team.

I'm sure there's a discussion about this on the infamous "If you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen" thread in the members area forum of the goodwood site. I may have got confused and it was in fact have been talking about the annual display at the house though. Anyway to keep it on topic, the breakfast club supercar Sunday is a great event and it's free as well.

Sorry for hijacking this thread but does anyone know if they cater for veggies at the breakfast club events (haven't been to one yet). I've had a quick look on the goodwood website but can't find anything.

I'd like to point out that this is for the misses, not me biggrin

Don't hold your hopes too high regarding availability of breakfast at all. On the couple of occasions where I have been there, it has been so busy that getting a cup of the proved too cumbersome. You might not want to set the expectations too high and sell it as a sunday brunch venue to wife and kids - which it is most certainly not.

Also another reminder. If you get there early and manage to get a parking spot inside the track don't expect to be able to get out of there before mid day.

I was going to mention that but thought I'd steer clear. There was a thread on the GRRC Members forum about vegetarians and I flippantly said order a full English but hold the bacon & sausage - I got put in my place good and proper so I came away with the distinct impression that veggies don't have a sense of humour wink Fact is that I'd have thought breakfast was one of the easiest vegetarian meals - indeed this morning I've just had scrambled eggs and beans on toast. But as has been said, it's usually more of a bacon or sausage bap so I guess a fried egg sandwich off one of the vans would work, but then I'd get told that's not "proper" veggie, there I go again. think I'll just shut up getmecoat

Yes! Veggies can be a funny bunch. Luckily my misses isn't a 'meat is murder' kind of veggie so i don't get preached at. She simply doesn't like the stuff. Just wondered what the food situation was like as it's going to be a fair drive there and back (from Cardiff).

My tip, get there early, have a good look round and get a cup of tea, then get a breakfast in Sainsbury's on the Chichester by-pass wink

I'm thinking of having lunch at the Kennels. Seeing as i'm there anyway it'd be rude not to.
