Have attended 5 times. This year will be my 6th. Typically 130,000 people attend every one of the 4 days. Best motorsport event in the world by far.
Goodwood itself is a huge estate that contains a Race track, a Hill Climb course and an international Horse Race Track. The FoS is not held on the Race Track. Thats used for the Goodwood Revival and the Members Meeting. FoS is held on the Hill Climb.

If you haven't book already then I afraid it's bad luck. Saturday, is already booked out and Friday and Sunday are filling fast. All accomodation for miles around the venue is booked out at least 6-9 months in advance.

Porsche has done several launch vehicles there along with every other Euro manufacturer. Every manufacturer has a huge on site building and the super car paddock is the first place to go..It has replaced the auto shows in the UK.
I’ve been several times and each year it gets bigger and better and its all up close and personal.
I stay up the road in Chiddingfold and each evening sit at a pub founded in 1250 and watch all the cars coming and going to the FOS.
Most likely going again this July
if you’re a petrol head it’s a must go.

Saw on pff this morning. Perhaps someone else here has gotten one.

"Hello,
I received a Porsche newsletter today.

On 05.05 & 06.05 there will be training on the Nordschleife "including Cayman 718 GT4 Experience".

Maybe somebody drives down and opens the engine cover

Have two tickets available for the Porsche event tomorrow morning at the NYIAS for anyone interested. It would be nice to recoup the $40. (My father died 15 days ago and I was planning to take him. I'm just not up for going.)

I am so sorry. I can't imagine how difficult the past 15 days have been.

I am so sorry for your loss. I lost my father a number of years ago. I know how hard it is. Again, my condolences.

Sincere condolences on the loss of your father.

I also have two tickets to the PCA breakfast tomorrow and can't make it. I contacted PCA about a possible refund and was advised by Mariela Murphy, National Events Coordinator, as follows:

Unfortunately, this event is non-refundable as per your confirmation. I have been working through the waitlist and if I find someone to take them, will gladly refund your tickets and allow them to purchase. Will let you know as soon as possible.

Mariela's contact info is below if you want to explore a possible refund through PCA. Good luck and hang in there.

You can still get four day tickets. You can also still make such lunch reservations at some of the venues.

And some of the hospitality packages are available as well
