I think getting there very early will be essential. If not you'll be parking at the racecourse.

Jack, are you actually arranging a run down to the event or just asking who is going?

if it's the former then i suggest you post up a meet point, arrange a route and specify a time.

if it's the latter then what's the point of this list?

What's their definition of a supercar? Are we going to spend all morning traipsing up and down looking at 911s?

There is no 'their' definition of a supercar. I am sure everybody has their own opinion as to what constitutes a 'supercar'.

What I would say however is that last year there was an infinitely wide variety of exotica to look at- the affordable and the unaffordable.

I have absolutely no doubt that this year will be just as good!

Jack- I can see the point that Harsh is making. Take it from me (and I am sure Harsh will agree), there will be several hundred cars at Supercar Sunday- most of which will be interesting, unusual or both.

To that end there seems little point in putting a list together because it's not really achieving much. My advice to you is go along yourself and enjoy the morning, there will be plenty for you to look at. On the other hand, if you were compiling a list of people/ cars with a view to meeting up and travelling down together then such a list might be a valid exercise.

Undoubtedly Harsh will be starting such a thread in due course- as he normally does. This will be a list of PH'ers who will want to meet up at Guildford early on the Sunday morning to travel down in convoy. That is what I did last year and if you can get to the Cathedral at Guildford for silly o'clock and like the sound of a convoy down then go along, it's great fun!

As to what time you should arrive at Goodwood- try and get there no later than 8 am. That way you will get to see plenty of cars arriving. There should already be plenty of cars there by then.

Hope this helps...

Agreed - just go down and enjoy the cars - keep the lists for the arranged meet ups

For SCS 8am is way too late unless you want to risk the 'Field of Shame'

Last weekend we arrived at 7:15 and made it to the Grid but there were loads of cars round the back in the sheds already.

Last years SCS we were there bang on 7am and we met at the gate by a large Scuderia group, a grid place secured for sure. By 8am the place was getting really busy with cars already being pointed towards the out field, and I don't mean rubbish cars either, there was a good 'grid' selection in the fields.

We will be away for this years SCS frown but if you want to be 'IN' don't get there late.

I guess everyone has their own opinion as to what time is good for getting their.
Last year I arrived with a large convoy from Guildford at 7.55am and I didn't see anyone who was driving anything interesting struggle to get in at that time.

Sure, most people didn't get on the grid but then I didn't think that the criteria for the grid was 'first come, first served', more about variety and not having too many of the same marque parked up there.

Bottom line is, get there as early as you can.
