steed Posted January 17, 2010 Share #1 Posted January 17, 2010 Advertisement (gone after registration) I would like to attend the Goodwood Festival of Speed in July of this year along with my wife and daughters (20 and 25). Any suggestions as to where to stay and how to maximize the experience would be greatly appreciated. I understand that period attire is encouraged, and am thinking of going as Mike Hawthorn, and will use my IIIf for period authenticity. Thanks in advance for any advice.

andybarton Posted January 17, 2010 Share #2 Posted January 17, 2010 The Goodwood Revival encourages period costume - not sure about the Speed festival. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevelap Posted January 17, 2010 Share #3 Posted January 17, 2010 The Goodwood Hotel on the estate is very nice Goodwood Hotel - Welcome but it fills up very early. Andy is correct, it's the Goodwood Revival later in the year, 17-19 September, where period dress is encouraged http://www.goodwood.co.uk/site/content/revival/.

andybarton Posted January 17, 2010 Share #4 Posted January 17, 2010 I stayed in Guildford last year. It is an easy half hour drive or so down to Goodwood from there. Portsmouth will have hundreds of hotels to choose from. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

John W Steed, Period dress is NOT required for The Festival of Speed. The FoS is essentially a hillclimb with old cars and top class drivers. The Revival (in September), on the other hand, is a period weekend of vintage circuit racing with period cars/drivers/staff/visitors/planes etc. Best wishes, Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
