True enough Ken, but the filming seemed to cover the field better. My criticism of the Goodwood coverage is that they often concentrate far too much on the leader(s) and rarely cover the interesting cars further back in the field.

I only managed to watch for a few minutes and it confirmed my suspicions that Goodwood is so much better for paying spectators, with uninterrupted viewing around the whole track. By that I mean you can walk all the way round and there are no wire fences spoiling the view through a lens.

You are also close enough at Goodwood to not need a bazooka lens to get decent photographs. A 300mm lens is more than adequate. In fact, for my brief Saturday 2009 visit, all my pics were on a pocket Canon compact.
