Who's going to Goodwood - GT-R Register - Official Nissan Skyline and GTR Owners Club forum

OllieMeff · 7th June 2008, 08:18 AM

As there is a thread relating to the Motor Show in London, I thought I'd start one about Goodwood. It's on before the Motor Show, and the GT-R will definitely be there in all it's glory. Plus you'll get to not only see loads of exotica there, but hear it too (unlike the motor show!)

We are definetly going on the Sunday & having a few days in the area afterwards. I havent ordered any tickets yet because I was led to beleive from Andy Middlehurst that we would be invited by Nissan as happened with the 350Z

yes i have also been told that we're going to be invited to the festival of speed by nissan -although just one ticket per gt-r buyer apparently

I'll be there on the Friday as it's in my home town

A word of advice though, I recommend going on the Friday as the weekend dates will be stupidly busy and the traffic from prior experience is a nightmare!

Thanks for the tip! Sister lives in Pompey though, so now I've got a dilema. Stay and have a few drinks all weekend, and anger my colleagues, or miss out on the whole weekend to please others........hmmmm tough one!!

Probably Southampton (about 35 miles away) but don't quote me for certain.

Go for Southampton - you can get there from Edinburgh or Glasgow on BE.

The airport is just off the M27 which becomes the A27 and takes you all the way to Chichester and from there it's only a couple of miles to Goodwood.

As others have said traffic is murder - when I used to live down there I'd get there at 6am! Unfortunately I haven't managed to get there for the last few years.

Technically there's a light aircraft landing strip at Goodwood itself. I had a few flying leasons there

do the HPC have a set for each day that they can give away to people with deposits or does each HPC have enough for everyone ?

cheers

When I spoke to my dealer last week about Goodwood tickets all he would say was that letters were going out shortly about the events.
Now it would seem people have started receiving their Black envelopes, but I think they are only talking about the Trackdays (havent got mine yet

)
When I had my 350Z on order I was invited direct by Nissan, not the dealer.It was a brilliant day out.
Either way its only a month away so they better get their finger out.
Needless to say the Concierge know nothing about it

So why not put it in the meetings and events section then?
