Message From Organisers
Ladies and Gentlemen,
Welcome from the organisers of the Goodwood Track Day which is due to take place at the historic circuit on Saturday the 13th of April. You will find several documents enclosed which have been provided by Goodwood as the ‘Venue’ to us as the ‘Organisers’. Please take the time to read through, with particular reference to the rules. You will be required to sign the driver’s rules declaration on the Sat morning prior to taking part as will all passengers. Please note the minimum age limit for passengers at the circuit.
Our aim is to put on a safe and fun day on and off the track. The Goodwood team are extremely experienced, as you would imagine, so no question is too stupid on the day. We are aiming to get 6 cars on track for 5 lap sessions which will allow 30 laps per ticket throughout the day. So plan on 3 sessions am and 3 pm. You will be allocated a Grid Number (1 through to 6) at some point prior to going on track. This should be displayed in your vehicle as soon as it is made available to you. Grids will run from 1 through to 6 and then be repeated so it will be easy to keep track of your slot.
Helmets will be required: they will be available for hire on the day if you do not possess one. If you have any doubt about the integrity of your helmet then I suggest that you hire one. A long sleeve top and trousers will also be compulsory.
The programme for the day will be in outline:
Each 'Track Pass' entitles the purchaser to upto 30 laps (predicited) split into 6 sessions of 5 laps.
3 Sessions in the morning and 3 Sessions in the afternoon.
For those of us sharing 'Track Passes' your 2 sessions are expected to be 5-laps each.
With 1 session in the morning and 1 in the afternoon.
I am not sure if the 5-laps include a warm-up / run-down. Fingers crossed it will be 7 laps.
