Oooh! Goodwood BX

Post by Philip Chidlow »

http://www.rallybuzz.com/loeb-citroen-bx-4tc/

I WANT to go. But can I? :? :cry: :?

And...
Five-time World Rally Champion Sebastien Loeb will be making his Goodwood debut at this year’s Festival of Speed (3-5 July), driving his trusty Citroen C4 WRC up the famous 1.16-mile Goodwood Hill, as well as around the event’s challenging purpose-built Forest Rally Stage.

Loeb’s first appearance at Goodwood will give his large British fan base a rare chance to see him in action at very close quarters on tarmac, sliding through the gravel and in person. His dominant Citroen C4 WRC will also be on display in the dedicated WRC paddock, located near the main Formula One paddock area at the Festival. Loeb will be joined on Goodwood Forest Rally Stage by a host of other rallying legends past and present, including Walter Rohl, Stig Blomqvist, Hannu Mikkola, Bjorn Waldegaard and Rauno Aaltonen. A rare ex-works Group B Citroen BX 4TC rally car will also be in action on the Stage.

Other Citroens making their Goodwood debut will include the amazing GT by Citroen concept car, which will be seen in action publically for the very first time anywhere in the world driving up the hillclimb as part of the popular Sunday Times Supercar Run.

I've never been but have always wanted to. Does Goodwood allow car clubs to attend? If it does, it would be great if the club could organise a meet for this fantastic event.

One day maybe, but given that BX club meets are small affairs - when they materialise - it's not something to worry about. Meet up with a couple of other members for a picnic more like.

Anyway, given it's darn sarf, and £48 per head it's always going to be an 'exclusive' event...

(Wetherby's cheaper!) :lol:

Probably not, when taking into account travel for travel if you're in the south! :wink:

Goodwood is an ace place and I'm lucky enough to have driven a couple of cars around it.

Fuck paying £48 per ticket though.
Vauxhall apologist.

Turn up at about 17:00hrs or later, and there's no-one on the ticket gate....

And there'll be not alot going on at that time! :lol:

I'm gutted, I'd love to see the 4TC in action. Been a couple of times as it's only up the road, but I've never paid before and I sure as hell ain't paying £48 to go and stand with a load of tarts wearing stupid hats and toffy Porsche driving self-lovers.

I'm popping up to the circuit tomorrow morning to watch the TVR sprint event, in the BX. Thats about as close as I'll get! :(
