One of the reasons for only giving Goodwood a 95% rating relates to the programming or scheduling. As mentioned before, there is a lot of wasted track time, yet the 'Sussex Trophy' cars never got out on track until the end of the day, Friday and again Sunday. OK, my choice to leave just before racing finished not to mention being very tired, but with 50,000 people heading for the exits at the same time, being fed into the narrow country lanes or even the A27, leaving early was a no brainer that worked very well for me.
I'm bitterly disappointed that I missed these cars on track and if anyone with Goodwood connections reads this (I doubt they will), then a plea to have a look at the schedule to maybe shuffle the groups around a wee bit. Two Austin A35 races and two pedal car races in the middle of the day, not to mention the 3 parades repeated each day, but Sussex Trophy cars not before 5.25pm (race, 6pm practice), was a shame.
Apologies for not covering many cars, but had I done my homework, I would have taken more paddock shots! No apologies for concentrating on the Listers and the Tojeiro. Based on the entry list. I should have taken the Devin Chev - but I didn't see it, Lotus 15's, a Ferrari 246s Dino (missed that one too...), Sadler Chev and Maserati Birdcage - which I thought I had taken.
