However the venue was absolutely packed and left very little opportunity to take any decent pics. Although its free I can't see us going back for a while. Will probably go back to Beaulieu next year as we've really enjoyed the last 2 years there. Hopefully they'll get the parking sorted out next time

Indeed, Goodwood breakfast clubs get busy, especially the Supercars one (hence they introduced the free ticketing to control the crowds a bit).
We are usually there by 7 am and leave by 10 am to avoid the crowds and see the display cars arriving. And that way we get a great, traffic free drive down to Goodwood too. Early starts don't suit everyone, but worth the effort of getting up at 5 am on a glorious sunny Sunday.

We like Goodwood Breakkie clubs because you usually get a great mixture of cars from different marques / eras.

I was also expecting to see more Macans but there were even fewer Cayennes. By the way I am pretty sure there were no other night blue Macans (or any other Porsche models) apart from mine... surprising...I think it's a lovely colour (but I would, wouldn't I?)

Hi JBA,

Is yours a Night Blue GTS, parked fairly centrally? I may have spotted it as we walked back to the car at the end of the day.

I think we saw one or two other Night Blues, including a 911, as we wondered around the 1,000-1,200 Porsches present, but certainly a fairly rare colour.

Cheers,

Simon

Hi Simon, Hi WC
Yes that was mine. I actually thought the stewards would direct me to a Macan area but they didn't so I just parked it as central as I could;
an SUV that almost handles like a 911 deserves to be in that central mix!

Definitely!

I think the stewards only group cars together if there's a pre-organised arrangement (like 911 UK, PCGB, The Boxster Club or Paul's arrangement last year for forum members). There is no generic 'Macan area' or 'Cayenne area' etc.

It's a shame that Porsche's biggest seller is under-represented. I think that many drivers of Macans, Cayennes & Panameras wrongly assume that this type of event is aimed at the sports car drivers only.

I agree it was a shame there were so few other models (aside - I particularly wanted to see a 914), and it is rather nice if they are lined up accordingly. It is worth attending if only because two of you are admitted for <£20 rather than nearly £50 what's not to like - not sure if the savings extended to a 7 seat ( ) Cayenne.

Yep. And free entry for next year!

Very good result WinCo - I'm guessing if you were with a group (PCGB?) they are rightly worried about a significant drop in numbers if there was enmass negative reaction.

Sorry, not really.

Just an apology.

Couldn't resist it.

Was still a great day out, despite the delay on entry.

-- Too late I've just sent an email for my free ticket - I'll let you now when it arrives

Wingco what is the pale blue colour on the 991 GTS? Hubby spotted that one and took a few pics but we can't work out the colour. Is is gulf blue?
