Hi Guys

I'm Terry and ex pat from Poole, living in Alberta, yea I know.....

We do the annual pilgrimage to Le Mans, but decided that next year 2020 we will give Le Mans a miss and do Sebring in March and the Goodwood Revival

So where do we start? We will fly into Gatwick arriving on Thursday which will give a day to recover from Jet Lag before the event starts on Friday, Will fly back to Calgary on Monday. That's all we know, so any help would be great. below are our questions:

1. Do we camp or do a hotel, if so where
2. I have looked at all the packages and the Admission & Grandstand looks the most popular, your thoughts?
3. Where is the best place to watch
4. Im guessing there's lot's of places to get food
5. ?????

HELP

Spent quite a lot of time looking at how we are going to do this, I think due to the distance we are traveling and what we can fit in our cases the hotel option is best for us. Spoke to the folks at the Chichester Park Hotel, 20 minutes from the track, (it also has a nice Hot Tub)

Also decided that we will get a 3 day entry and one day in the grand stand. Cant believe how far in advance this all has to be booked.

You're planning for 2020 though ??

Probably no need to book just yet! as the dates won't be confirmed anyway....
Your right dates aren't out yet, however the Chichester Park Hotel is 2/3 booked for 2020 regardless of dates, they have blocked booking each year and only set aside a few rooms for general sales, they also wont let you book unless you do 4 nights. Thats works fine for us.

Can wait.
