Eric,
Yep, I go every year - since the first Revival and I always try and take my
Healey. It is simply unique. Nowhere else will you see the real racers, driving
ing the real racers, with an audience in costume and on such a historic circuit

and
http://gallery.leica-users.org/Lambretti
for some photos taken there last year, to get a flavour. Not only was Goodwood a
racing circuit but as RAF Westhampnett it was a WWII airfield. The idea is to
create for three days something of the feeling of the period from 1940 - 1968;
although most of the emphasis is on racing, there is plenty of flying too. If
they can fly it and get it there then you will be surprised at what you will
see!
As to racing it isn't unknown to have a grid worth Euro 5 - 10M in
wheel-to-wheel racing, everything from production cars to the recreation of the
RAC 9 hours TT (although it only runs for an hour) with Ferraris, Cobras, Lolas,
Lotuses and so on and so on.
Be aware that you HAVE to buy tickets in advance.
