Goodwood Sunday Service and track day 16-17/12

Our Christmas treat to you? A return to Goodwood for a track and Sunday Service extravaganza!

---

The time has come for our annual pilgrimage to our largest, and final, Sunday Service of the year. Has the year really gone that quickly?! It feels like yesterday we were heading to Prodrive for the first time, and all the other epic Sunday mornings have seemingly gone in a blink of an eye. So, on the 16th and 17th December we'll be at Goodwood for our final track day and Sunday Service hurrah before pride and joys take shelter from the unforgiving salted tarmac.

It's that time of year again!

On Saturday we will be there for one of our famous track days around the Goodwood Circuit, and if you've never driven there but always dreamed of it, now is the ideal chance to do just that - as we say every year, it's the perfect Christmas present! Anyone that has will tell you it's an incredible experience, and tearing around the legendary circuit really does top off the year. As an addition, this year Goodwood are offering a Christmas style buffet lunch included in the price, with teas and coffee included throughout the day.

Following some great fun on track, we'll be there bright and early the day after for the Sunday Service. It's always a rather special event, with as many cars as we're allowed lined up along the start-finish straight, it makes for some fantastic photos. There will also be the NAAFI wagon on site providing tea, coffee and bacon rolls to you hungry lot. So get yourself signed up here - we'll be there on both days with some PH Fleet cars and look forward to seeing you there!

Chris Teagles will be there getting snaps on both Saturday's track day and Sunday's event.

Also hate to be "the guy" but is something like this (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5fqH0wZbRYk - ~13:05) really appropriate on a public road? - the type of thing that will very quickly stop events happening. I'm all for booting it away (whilst in control and maintaining traction) but that's just a bit chav.

Thing is the number plate isn't even blurred so the guy could be in for a world of pain.

Likely others on the above link, that's just the first one that actually made me want to say something.

Yeah it goes a bit beyond having a bit of fun when it looks like you're almost about to crash and ruin someone elses day.

Wouldn't be so bad if the road outside of goodwood were wider but he comes back later in the video going the other way acting like a tosser too

Couldn't say I was surprised though when I saw a bmw about to pull away

I got a few pictures here, feel free to take a look, download and use as you please. They're nothing special

I dunno, I rather like that one of my humble little RX-7, thanks Glad I didn't bother cleaning it

You passed me on the way there I drive the red WRX, your RX7 looked and sounded awesome and is a real flamethrower! It was the first ever FB i've seen so quite a treat!

My mate's Silvia is limping like a dog at the moment but he was following me there so I had to drive sensibly

Ahhhh, cool, I remember. Your mate's blue Datsun seemed to be having all kinds of woes... the random indicator/rear light flashing thing reminded me of 80s Ford Sierra earthing issues I did wonder why you guys were hanging around, don't think I'd have been keeping up with the Scooby otherwise.

And yeah, the flames are something of an issue. It's starting to melt the bumper a bit but I can't really turn the Weber down or it won't start in the cold Just means the overrun gets a bit... well... pyrotechnic

Yeah his car basically has a big turbo shaped restriction in the exhaust which doesn't build boost. He probably shouldn't be driving it but bought it down for sunday.

I have the same flame "problem" on my Vx220 but I've decided to just enjoy it and worry about minor details such as melted bumpers later

Hoping to go to a few more PH Events next year so hope to see the FB again

With respect mate then why not do something about it? People only act up because everyone is there with cameras.
So why not have a marshal or member of the team on the exit telling people not to film?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-jzla2eH770

I don't mind the pulling out and giving it a squirt but half the cars come out sideways.

People act up even without cameras, the last Sunday service at Mercedez Benz World had people treating the exit road like a quarter mile even when there was no one lined up taking videos.

Incidently we've not had any more Sunday services at MBW since....

Stopping people from filming probably would help it but if someone's going to leave like an idiot nothing can really stop them apart form banning them from future events.

I've seen the 3 wheeler at the Goodwood event 3 years in a row, it always stands out from the crowd

bit difficult to get pictures of cars along the pit straight as there's just so many people but it was good fun to see them all.
