This is the circuit race meeting at the Goodwood Circuit near Chichester in Sussex. All competitors vehicles are pre '66 (apart from all the new bits..), and there's some serious racing going on. Pre '66 because that's when the circuit closed, and its basically unchanged, which is unique in motor racing circuits. Quite a few pennies, but a grand day out. http://www.goodwood.co.uk/revival/welcome.aspx |

2011 photos..............
Got to Goodwood just before 8 am, wandered through the gates and it wasn't long till heard the deep rumble of engines, and they weren't car or motorcycle............ nope, were given a flying display of two Spitfires!!!!
How cool was that!!
The cost of going to Goodwoods Revival isn't cheap, Friday is £36, but we spent 11 hours at the circuit, saw loads and loads of static displays of cars and aeroplanes, viewed the millions upon millions of pounds worth of racing machinery being given a serious thrashing around the track (so much so that there were a couple of very costly crashes as these drivers are out there being pretty serious), and must have seen about 10 take offs and landings (along with their displays) of Spitfires in twos or threes, as there were about 10 on the airfield
So that works out at below £3.30 an hour.......
and as we left at 7pm, two Spits took off and gave a flying display over the car parks, now you don't often get that!
So here's few shots to give a flavour of the event.
