Cars: Goodwood Festival of Speed

Last time we went to Goodwood Festival of Speed was 3 years ago (didn’t know it was that long ago!)

We only decided on the Friday that we were going Sunday, so all a bit rushed.   We left home around 8:30am but hit huge traffic jam before Petworth but otherwise was pretty clear.  In the end we got there about 10:30am.  with Lynn’s blue badge we were luckily able to park in the disabled parking area and got a lift to the gate Smile   Sadly we had to queue for about half hour to collect our tickets on the gate but got through eventually.

We had a nice walk about and good look at lots of cars Smile  then had lunch, looked at some more cars, had a snack and cup of tea, looked at more cars then had another cup of tea…. so a brilliant day Smile   Lynn was worn out by about 3pm, so we ended up leaving early, but we did at least miss the traffic going home.

The only small problem I had was that I recorded some video on my phone of some great sounding sports cars going out to race, but seems I didn’t save it !   Bit annoying but means I’ll have to go again to re-do the recording Smile  Got some photos of them though…

We didn’t get time to look at many cars going up the hill itself, so (as every year we go) I think next time we need to go for a weekend, one day walking around and one day watching the hill climb !!

Anyways, here’s a few more random pictures of the event………IMG_2652IMG_2700
