Well, the hotels are booked and the tickets are confirmed.

It was a bit of a mad house getting the hotels sorted because I (and at least 1 other person) was kicked out of my original hotel last week, which I had booked 6 weeks ago. That hotel is very close to Goodwood and often gets used by the Estate. I still think that Lord March booked my cottage after me ....

At least I did manage to find something, albeit a lot further away.

Really looking forward to it. I'll be taking the 330GTC again this year. It will be the first time as a GRRC member and the GTC is parked in the car show parking lot on Friday. Don't exactly know what that means, but thought I'd go for it. My brother will join me, as well as FL's Vitalone and a mutual friend.

If any of you are thinking of going - now's the time. Hotel reservations will already be difficult. It is still very easy to get good grandstand seats, though.

Highly annoyingly, the tickets still haven't arrived. I will need to phone Goodwood this week.

If you want to do it this year, I suggest you organise as soon as possible. At least, if you want to go for more than a day and you want grand stand seats. Nearby hotels will be practically impossible to organise.

***Helmets: Please note that your helmet MUST be rated Snell- or SA- 2005 or Snell- or SA-2010. If your helmet is rated 2000 (as in the year), it expired at the end of 2010 and you must obtain a newer helmet.

This requirement for updated helmets is standard for all car clubs due to insurance requirements. Also note that no motorcycle helmets are permitted. These helmet requirements will be strictly adhered to upon on-site tech inspection.
