5th April 2014

Joining Instructions

Please read these joining instructions carefully, they are designed to help you and to also enable the smooth running of the event.

Saturday 5th April Track Day

Please access the Goodwood Motor Circuit via the main gates; which will be open by 07.15; where you should head straight to the noise test area which will be starting from 07.55. This area is located through the main vehicle access tunnel, next to the toilet block on the Richmond Lawn which is beside the designated refuelling area where an ‘A’ board will be prominently displayed.
Once your car has passed the noise test (105dB – you will be asked to volunteer your rev limit then noise testing will be conducted at ¾ RPM) you will be issued with a 105 green sticker directed either to the pit lane or into the queuing system. Should you not wish to go directly to the pit lane, then please use one of the historic paddock shelters of your choice to park your car.
Sign on and the drivers briefing will take place in the Jackie Stewart Pavilion (JSP) from 07.45 to 08.30 when the briefing will commence.

All drivers must sign on and attend the drivers briefing. Anyone wishing to gain access to the Pit lane or be a passenger should also sign on; dependant on numbers the briefing is a priority for Drivers only.

Drivers will then be issued with a wrist band with a number on it in exchange for the sign on sheet that will give you access to the circuit as a driver; passengers will be signed on in a similar way but need not attend the Driver briefing.

A second briefing will be held for late drivers at 09.20 in the JSP.

Please then make your way to the pit lane and park your car in line on the right hand side ready to be called forward by the marshals; this will be mentioned in the Drivers briefing. New drivers will have an opportunity to be driven round the circuit to make the optimum use of their track time in the Goodwood Mondeo (Before 0900 without helmets after 0900 with). Emphasis will be on lines and turn-in points. If in doubt do the familiarisation – it will pay dividends. We will also have access to an instructor; if you are new or just want to improve your overall performance then take advantage of the offer. Speaking from experience, it pays dividends.

The morning track sessions will commence at 09.00 and will run in durations of up to 15 minutes. Once a session is finished, join the end of the queuing system and await being called forward for your next session; you must be prepared to stay with your vehicle and push it forward.

Lunch will be between 12.30 and 13.30. Afternoon Driver’s brief will be at 1300 for those only doing a PM session

You are free to make your own lunch arrangements either at the Aero Club Café or at the NAAFI Wagon.

Fuel is not available on site this can be obtained from Sainsbury’s garage which is 1.4 miles south of the circuit.

Complimentary Teas and Coffees will be available until stocks are exhausted!

The afternoon track sessions will commence at 13.30 and will run in sessions of up to 15 minutes. The afternoon track sessions finish at 17.00.

Please remember that you will need a suitable crash helmet to participate in the event and arms and legs must be covered.

If you do not own a helmet then you can hire one on the day at a cost of £10.00 per person.

Should you wish to noise test your cars noise prior to the event, then this can be done by arranging a free test directly with the circuit office on 01243 755093.

For more information on how the noise test is conducted please go to www.goodwood.com and follow the links to Noise Management.

I hope you have found this information useful and would ask that you print it off and bring it to the event with you as a reference point.
