Goodwood
track day, worth spectating and meeting fellow V8 enthusiasts
Saturday
25th February 2012 at Goodwood Circuit near Chichester in
West Sussex.
Satnav postcode PO18 0PH
How to get
there - why not enjoy a Memorable MG Route? More
Parade laps
for spectators
Spectators are always welcome at MGoT track days and there is
no admission fee. At Goodwood there will be an opportunity for
spectators to take their car around the Goodwood track for a
few laps. This will be done at a controlled reduced speed behind
a course car, so no thrashing of any components involved. This
is being organised to raise funds for a local charity. There
is no need to pre-book, just turn up on the morning by
11.30am and buy a ticket. Parade lap participants will not be
required to wear helmets.
Meet up in the Paddock or for refreshments
in the aeroclub cafe. For those unfamiliar with Goodwood, drive
through the entrance and down through the white portal of the
tunnel, turn left and into the Paddock.

Goodwood
is an ideal circuit for classic cars at speed, both
for drivers and for spectators - so the MGoT track
day on Saturday 25th February will be well worth
attending and meeting up with fellow V8 enthusiasts.
Peter Kuruber will be on the track with the RV8GT
together with Nic Houslip with his RV8 and Doug
Bond, Mike Salter and Trevor Scarborough with their
MGBGTV8s.
The Goodwood layout remains unchanged from its 50s
and 60s racing heyday and it is the setting for
the popular annual Goodwood Revival race meeting
- a "magical step back in time". The circuit
is a serious test of any driver's nerves. Much of
the lap can be flat-out in some cars - from the
chicane all the way round to St Mary's, cars will
be travelling very rapidly indeed. Spectating from
Madgwick or the chicane is close to the paddock
or you can stroll round the circuit to the fast
corners on the far side at Fordwater or St Mary's.
More details on the MGoT
website.
Drivers who have booked a place with MGoT sign on
at 7.30am and are on the track from 9am.
There is a lunch break and the event closes at 4pm.
