We are at Goodwood for the classic motor racing.
We loaded the Porsche with our camping gear and had a steady 4 hour drive down to near Chichester in southern England. Just north of Portsmouth. Set the tent up and had a look round.
It's a big site
We did get great entertainment while looking round, an air display from a Spitfire. Doing climbs, loops and upside down flying. The planes, including a P51 Mustang are based here. Photos to come.
Mustang taking off.
We are helping out in the mornings as volunteers, checking people's tickets on one of the grandstands. It keeps the cost of the weekend down and provides access to more exclusive places.
This is a bit of a special event. Most people dress up in 40s to 60s costume to go with the racing.
The whole site is themed in period sets. Shops etc.
Period vehicles everywhere including 100s of Fiat 500s.
This racing is fast and noisy with incredible cars that are worth millions. They do not hold back.
The photos are not the best due to it being very wet and windy (dull) and taken with zoom on an iPhone.
Looks like great fun. There's a real boom in nostalgia lately. Looks like the best place to celebrate it

That looks like a really fun event. I rather fancy going along to something like this- especially if I get to put my 40's gear on.

40s fashion is really great. Ladies clothes are especially feminine.

I don't know much about it, but is the revival different to the festival of speed, the one where all the f1 cars go up the hill climb is the one Im thinking of. I'd love to get there one day, your lucky to be able to go to something like this. The pictures are ok, I like the one with the silver car, you even got a wave!

The FOS is earlier in the year. I posted photos from that. This is very much more a themed event with each race set up to replicate a great race from the past with cars either from the race r era.
