Goodwood festival of speed.

I’m there on the Sunday. Delighted the government have seen sense and allowed it to go ahead.

Quite sick of the old Coronavirus restrictions, but this isn’t the thread for that.

Beware your wishes for freedom to do as you wish. We had < 25 cases in Cornwall. 2 weeks ago. One half term holiday and one G7 summit later and we have almost 1000 cases and soring upward. Apologise for adding to the thread drift, but I fear FoS could be a massive spreader of this virus. It ain't gone away. :cry:

How many of those have resulted in a hospitalisation?

I’m not sure Goodwood, a predominantly outdoor event, would be any different from the Euros or anything other event that people are happy to take place.

Anyway I’ll be glad to be there, and hope others are able to make it long should they feel able to. As someone below the age of 30 who will be receiving their second vaccine tomorrow, having the chance to break the monotony between working long hours from home and going to the supermarket will be welcome.

Seems a pretty sensible approach to me. You either:

1. Have you be fully vaccinated by this Friday; OR
2. Stick a swab down your throat and up your nose to prove you don't have COVID

For the latter, you could do this whilst making your way in/whilst in the queue since it only takes 30 minutes.
 
I'll be there on the Thursday (assuming I get a negative COVID test beforehand!).

Won't be going in the Z as we'll be in my mate's Porsche.
 
I will be there on the 8th. Not been before to this one, is parking Porsche safe or do you need to take something less expensive?
 
I haven't been for years, but when I did I never heard of any issues with parking safety despite there being plenty of exotica in the car park.

Hope you all have a great time. :thumbsup:

Hopefully it might not be quite as busy this year - it was the crowds that put me off.
 
I’m there in the Zed with my old man for his 60th (a year late) down form the North. Friday and Saturday in the event.

I’m looking forward to it!
