Goodwood Vee Power Sunday

[bolidemichael]

Goodwood have announced their season of Breakfast Clubs, beginning on March 1st with Vee Power Sunday.

I've requested to attend in my E500 estate - this date last year was 'Fast Estate Sunday' where it was raining cats and dogs and made for a great old school uncrowded day with no queues for the breakfast truck!

Yes

[bolidemichael]

How odd, I have received an email indicating my acceptance...

[bolidemichael]

First time around, I received an unusually swift response, so perhaps the initial rejection was an error?

[bolidemichael]

So what are you guys (and gals?) going to bring along?

We applied when this thread started & only got accepted yesterday

Similar. Accepted into the venue, but not the grid I think.
Maybe it's the car?

They are still sending emails inviting attendees, so I doubt that you've been turned away. Did you receive an attachment with your VRN? If so, you're in and on the grid.

I have two more cylinders than you and also only have Site Access

This is the text from my email.

What does the attachment in the email say?

I think the attachment is your unique entry form in to the event to display your vehicle.

It is - I don't think that an attachment is sent for general access. My email points to an invitation to the 'Goodwood Motor Racing Circuit'. If it doesn't say that they you're not in.

[bolidemichael]

Mine says ' site access'

Same. Body of the email also says my vehicle has been accepted for display.

Right now, I'm feeling more confused than Gordon the Gopher.

[bolidemichael]

I've been loads of times before, but you buggers have managed to discombobulate me!

[bolidemichael]

We may as well get a list of PH Vees going:

"and you can quote me on that"

[bolidemichael]

Last year, Fast Estate Sunday was a real wash out, but they still pressed on. It was great and had an old school feeling, thanks to the lack of crowds.

I waltzed straight up to the van for a breakfast bap

[bolidemichael]

Shirley, most visitors to Vee Sunday would be familiar with Lexus' answer to the M5? I imagine there won't be too many, however.

[bolidemichael]

Sorry for the misfortune, Juice. Best let them know and suggest that another GT40 wouldn't be sniffed at by the attending crowd

Good luck with the repair.

[bolidemichael]

Hi Jules,

From what you've said, it isn't this beauty that attended Fast Estate Sunday last March?
