I really need to find a way to work both Le Mans and Goodwood into a vacation.

I spent four days at the FoS in 2011. It was an amazing experience -- just so much to see. I can't wait to go back to Goodwood for the Revival or Members' Meeting.

We just got back as well and fully recommend adding this event to the bucket list. Bring boots or shoe totes/covers as the rainy weather makes for muddy grounds! We escaped Saturday's rain by spending the day in the GP Club.

Thank you, thank you. That was all written from the Delta lounge at Heathrow.

That really is a heck of an event. No matter your poison, it's there--from Group B rally and IMSA GTP to prewar and '60s F1.

Also, we saw Keanu Reeves.

Hey, that's where we spent Saturday, too. What a view. Plus clean bathrooms. And alcohol.

I wore my Docs all weekend and did just fine. Most of the people in our group got Wellies. Yes, there was much mud.

I watched the footage. Greatwood was apt.
