Does this tell us something about the popularity with the hard core enthusiasts?
To be honest, I don't think you can draw too many conclusions like that. Whilst various major anniversaries were celebrated, FoS is not so much an historic event now. Indeed much of it is looking to the future. Also you have to remember there were three major historic race meetings on the same weekend, in which some of the regulars on here were involved.

Watching the live screening for much of the weekend, FoS did look pretty crowded, but close-ups - particularly on Friday - made me think there were a lot of non Goodwood-type people there! The scrum in front of the House for the Bernie Ecclestone tribute on Sunday afternoon got a bit out of control & I'm told there were even people fighting...
