Supercar Sunday 7th May - G'wood Breakfast Club

[GloriaGTI]

From Goodwood's website:

"May 7: Supercar Sunday
Celebrating the pinnacles of automotive engineering – the supercars and hypercars of the world, as well as high-performance exotica of all varieties. Supercar Sunday aims to bring together some of the greatest cars the world has ever seen."

Anyone interested in attending? I know this will be very, very busy but if people are up for meeting and arriving uber early, we could beat the rush for breakfast and get a decent parking spot. Maybe even on the circuit, depending on what you're driving!

For anyone who may be up for joining me on a more interesting drive than the M and A27, this is the route I will be taking. Starting at Shell Winnall and stopping en route at the Seven Stars pub: https://tinyurl.com/le7eure

7 Stars Meeting point on the way Nic? Also the route from Petersfield- Harting- Lavant is a good one, our usual route to Goodwood for the Breakfast meets.

Seven Stars is good for me Aly. Lavant was the other route I looked at! Works for me. Will amend and share the new route when I'm back in the office tmrw.

Possibly yes... I have not been down before and would have to check the Calendar when I get in, but could also meet at Winnall.

Sounds good, let me know

What time at winnall ? , it's always busy for this so needs to be early . Gates open at 7 so based on previous supercar meets you need to be there before 7

Thinking of leaving Winnall at 0600, stopping briefly at the Seven Stars circa 0630 to meet Aly plus any others who plan on joining us there.

I would hope that arriving shortly after 0700 at G'wood, would not cause us too many issues with parking/queues for breakfast.

Roads will be empty at that time too so it will be great run along that route, as long as it's dry!

You fancy it, Stuart?

Cheers,
Nic

We can bring the meeting/departure times forward if people prefer to arrive earlier?

I have no problems getting out of bed super early for a jaunt!

Would love to go to this but I've just broken my arm so can't drive for 6 weeks...... My M5 is going to be lonely...

Sorry to hear that, Tim. Going to be a long 6 weeks for you!

Do you need to register for this, or can you just turn up and have a walk around?

It's free to attend and depending on what you arrive in, you may be offered to park on circuit as part of the display.

ecsrobin said:

You need to pre register these days if you have a car matching the theme. If you own a Porsche it is considered a supercar at goodwood....

I stand corrected.

Apparently an SLK200 is an "iconic performance car" at Wilton House....

ecs0set said:

That SLK owner knows some people. He was displaying on the circuit at Goodwood during the Vee-Power breakfast club. I don't think... *googles SLK200*... nope!

I believe you're right, as I've seen him in the courtyard at Wilton before.

I know they did do a V6 and V8 in the AMG in that shape but pretty sure, from what I can remember of the styling, said SLK wasn't either of these.

[GloriaGTI]

ecs0set said:

Not unless for some weird reason, they've rebadged an SLK320 as an SLK200.

I can't remember if it was badged or not. Stranger things have happened though, like pineapple on pizza.

[GloriaGTI]

For anyone who fancies a jaunt across the Meon Valley and South Downs early Sunday morning, there are two meeting points:

Meet: Shell Winnall (SO23 7SL) at 0545
Depart: 0600
Meet: Seven Stars (GU23 3PG) at 0630
Arrive: Goodwood Circuit circa 0700

Route:https://tinyurl.com/le7eure

Full English Breakfasts are available from 0700 in the Old Control Tower (£10) and in the Jackie Stewart Pavillion (£15)

Weather looks reasonable for Sunday morning, at the moment.

I'll be at Shell with a friend in his Audi B5 S4 providing he gets it fixed in time. Leave a comment if you plan to join us at either meet points.

Revised route due to surface redressing on the road through South Harting to East Lavant

Off topic but do you have a PH smiley on the back of your car ? If so I have spotted you in Alresford a few times I think.

I do have a couple but doubt you'll have seen me in/around Alresford, not my neck of the woods. Must be another grey GTI with black alloys; I haven't seen another one like mine!

No little drive over to Goodwood this morning. Who had the red F430 with gold wheels? And the orangey 2017 GTR?

F430 is owned by Overhaul on here
