Goodwood 74th Members Meet

[kenwhiteside]

Anyone going? Good racing and generally two rx7s racing.

I will be there and parking the Elford on Lavant bank.

[MelloYello]

It is sold out now, so better have you tickets.

[DB RX63]

Yep, got my tickets.

Mind it was feezing cold last year, so I am praying for a heatwave....

[KiwiDave]

I'm going on the Sunday. Heatwave prayer x2

[kenwhiteside]

Yeah got tickets for the event and bank parking booked, planning on bringing a big warm coat this year, the long range forecast is for very cold!

[kenwhiteside]

On the Sunday also

[KiwiDave]

There is a dress code apparently FYI

As with any exclusive club, the GRRC Members’ Meeting is intended to be both stylish and relaxed, an informal yet smart event. Gentlemen will be encouraged to wear jackets and either a tie, cravat or polo-necked sweater at the event. Ladies are also encouraged to wear smart clothing.

Blue jeans, t-shirts, low cut or revealing tops, shorts, short skirts, flip-flops, sportswear, baseball caps and heavily branded clothing are strongly discouraged, as are costume or fancy dress.

Right then, here's something to be going on with. I was there yesterday, no rain thankfully but damn, it wasn't half cold.The turnout of competing cars made up for it though. Goodwood always manages to attract a stellar cast of cars and drivers.

I got a few snaps along the way. Not as many as I wanted but I was a little challenged in the battery department so that was that.

Ian Cowley was there with the Pentax FB, along with 'Uncle' Tim White (the man who made it run right). See Goodwood's piece here https://grrc.goodwood.com/members-meeti ... 7T5cZ9C.97

My very amateur contribution for race 2 (camera shake due to shivering but hey, we all suffer for our rotary addiction)

The mazda was in second place at the driver change (shortened race due to accidents and a long time behind the safety car. Eventually finished in 1oth. Not really a true reflection of it's capability. In the hands of Patrick Watts, it sings and dances. More pics to come.

Straight thru exhaust to a megaphone. I think Ian quoted something like 141db inside the car!!










I quite like the door mirrors. Probably available in period from any motor factor you liked. Wonder if I'll find a pair now?

GT40's were out in abundance.


Tasty Halibrand with obligatory spin off
