Who here is planning to visit this year? I might pop down as we've not been in a while, does anyone know what the deal is with access to the pre-67 parking area?

A Jim Clark tribute will form part of the 2013 Revival:

THE 2013 GOODWOOD REVIVAL
TO PAY TRIBUTE TO
MOTOR RACING LEGEND JIM CLARK

On the 50th anniversary of the first of his two Formula 1 World Championship victories, this year’s Goodwood Revival annual driver tribute will be to the legendary Scottish racer Jim Clark.

A daily track parade at the Goodwood Motor Circuit will include a variety of Jim Clark’s most famous cars to honour the life and achievements of this incredible and versatile man.

The track parade will feature a wealth of famous competition cars, spanning a variety of different genres; in the course of his all too brief career, Clark achieved success in single-seaters, sports, GT and saloon cars, and even turned his hand to rallying, setting fastest stage times on the 1966 RAC Rally in a Lotus-Cortina. The track parade will read like a shopping list of great racing cars from the 1960s, including the Lotus 25 in which Clark won the F1 World Championship in 1963, the Lotus-Cortina in which he won the 1964 British Saloon Car Championship, and the Lotus 38 in which he won the Indianapolis 500 in 1965.

Such was the esteem in which the inimitable Scot, who tragically died in an F2 race at Hockenheim on 7 April 1968, was held that many of his contemporaries will make the trip to West Sussex to pay tribute. Star names confirmed so far include Sir Stirling Moss, Sir Jackie Stewart, John Surtees and Tony Brooks.

Jim Clark competed at Goodwood on many occasions in the early 1960s, and, along with fellow Scot Sir Jackie Stewart, jointly holds the lap record of 1m20.4, set at the circuit’s final F1 race in 1965. Goodwood Revival founder Lord March fondly recalls meeting him as a motor racing-obsessed boy, saying: “Jim was always very nice to me – quiet, charming, a thoroughly good guy; not brash like some of the other drivers. He was an absolute world-class driver, and effortless is a good way to describe his ability.”

Tickets, grandstand seats, camping and other products for the 2013 Goodwood Revival can be purchased via the Goodwood website (www.goodwood.com/motor sport/), or the Ticket Hotline as follows: Telephone: +44 (0)1243 755055

Yes they can but it looks like you already found that out. You should get a windscreen ticket which allows you to park in the forward area of the main car park. GRRC members tend to park in the car park D which is behind the Shell building on the final corner. All I can say is get there early!

You'll see the fence behind which the moderns have to park.

[gillberry]

As it's our first time and we have booked for all weekend what time is a good time to arrive in the morning ? We are guessing early but how early as we would appreciate an idea of when to set our alarms . Also we are staying on a caravan site at Chichester does anybody have an idea of travel time from there to Goodwood ?

I've not been for a few years, try to aim and get in by say 7.30am would be my advice, earlier if you can. I had thought about going down this year, especially as the Alfa's coming up for sale, but not going to happen alas.

Just heard that a friend of mine locally has been invited to take part in the Tour de France cycle demo that's taking place each day. Jammy &*@@#$

(although it sounds like a lot of pedalling is required and I don't think a Cyclemaster or similar would be viewed too kindly).

My son and I go every second year, so miss out this time. Ref arrival time, we always get there around 9.00am, and so far have had no problems getting in.
Tip: take note of where you park your car! Looking for it in the wrong field when its getting dark is not funny!

[MikeEdwards]

Program about this on ITV4 tonight at 9pm, and on 'normal' ITV a bit later.

[gillberry]

Watched it but shame they did not show the mini crash or the bmw that lost the wheel

[Aar0sc]
