adhawkins Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 Hi guys, Just wondering who is planning on competing at the Goodwood Spring in April? I assume because it's called a Sprint it's on the circuit rather than the hill? I might fly in to say hello if there are people going Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adhawkins Posted March 23, 2012 Author Share Posted March 23, 2012 Wow, this one seems popular...can I assume Goodwood's sprinting costs are similar to their aviation ones? Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
funky munky Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 I am planning to enter as its close to home, they are usually more expensive as its Glorious Goodwood, they also pretty sensitive about noise.May see you there ? Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fangi0 Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 What date exactly. Might come down and get my old wreck checked for noise level as would love to take it round Goodwood this year. It won't be the hill, thats just for the Festival. The track is miles better anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

simon besant Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 Love goodwood but always get kicked off as although the v8 is quiet (98 dvd) the big pulses trip the noise meters End up tickling around in practice get warned and retested on first run then told I have set every meter off on the track goodbye Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leemarkadams Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 I am looking to go just to spectate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adhawkins Posted April 18, 2012 Author Share Posted April 18, 2012 Sounds like it might be worth a trip. Need to give the airfield a bell to make sure they don't hike up their landing fees for this like they do their other track events!

peterg Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 Andy, this isn't really an 'event' as such compared to the others... often the competitors/crew outnumber the spectators, especially if the weather isn't great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dstorey Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 I've been a few times and they normally have Ferrari's and Caterhams sprinting too. A couple of years back they had a Ferrari in by accident with a couple or Westys. The Ferrari went first and came back last! Normally plenty of space for watching the cars go by along the pit wall. Not having many people there is a + too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peterg Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 Funniest thing at a sprint event there ever was when the Caterhams were competing as part of their championship, four of them lined up as normal but when the light turned green ALL FOUR took off together :laugh: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adhawkins Posted April 27, 2012 Author Share Posted April 27, 2012 Well, aircraft is still booked, but weather isn't looking brilliant. Will take a view on it in the morning and see what happens. Good luck to all if we don't show. Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
