As an entrant who had stumped up the £1000 bottle of wine and completed the form requesting tickets/passes are sent to the office as I knew someone would be there to sign for them, the tickets/passes were sent to home whilst away on hols. Arrive back to think tickets will arrive and by Monday - nothing, so got on the phone, unravelled the mystery but was treated as if I had somehow trousered the tickets and was just trying to blag some more! Eventually got 2 advance car passes valid to 10am only, and 3 tickets, no badges, no mechanics armbands, drivers armbands etc, etc. Couldnt be bothered to chase round trying to find staff to sort it out and just borrowed spares off mates. It all seemed to work like clockwork before they started charging!

It took some work, but here is our report. Hopefully we spotted the correct Russian officer...

ticket distribution was woeful, we had a wild goose chase to find ours, only despatched on Monday, to the wrong address, some passes never arrived, we had to beg and borrow, numerous unreplied correspondense, for all of us, eventually some of our troops gave up and stayed home, what do you expect from volunteers?

Thought the weekend was excellent but had to smile that some of the big name Mini engine tuners seemed to struggle making their strictly controlled engines run for more than a few laps
![]() The only serious fault was the lack of time control on Stirlings birthday celebrations, way over the top, way over the timetable and what the hell were horses doing at a race meeting ![]() With a record attendance again I hope his Lordship does not milk us on the admission next year, for the price of a programme I can go racing for a whole day at other circuits ![]() |

Sir Stirling's birthday parade could have run for 1 lap instead of 2 and did the great mam really race a Renault Dauphonoise and a Berkeley?
I felt for poor Peter Hardman - after a fantastic battle with the Newey E Type (ish) to dnf whilst leadinf and so close to the end - it would have been so sweet given the Leventis car was a distant 4th... I hope he has more luck on Saturday in the 6 hour sharing his old sparring partner James Shead's Cobra |

only attended on sunday but a fantastic day nonetheless. my one gripe - the singing - AGAIN ............would it be frightfully poor etiquette to mention to his lordship that his sister does not have the most tuneful voice ?

based next to the 'track' records stall I was blessed with good music all day Friday and most of it Sat/Sun . . . although as it got busy the DJ did 'commercialise' somewhat, some quality northern soul and 60's tunes though

Stationed at the far side of the circuit we explained to the public that the discordant singing was actually caused by distortion in the PA!
Brings to mind "he who pays the piper calls the tune". All part of Goodwood's character. Maybe Kathryn Jenkins could appear next year? |

On the Lavant Bank there was great amusement at the gunshot immediately following the rendition of Rule Britania, together with cries of "Thank God - they've shot her!"

Did she also sing Jerusalem again? I have a recording of it on my film from last year - if anybody wants a copy please let me know.

Unless LM is tone deaf he must be aware of his sister's shortcomings as a solo singer, however she is rated as an actress. Maybe we should accept this in the spirit of a friend of Stirling Moss singing for him.

Apart from the usual Marcus Pye report on the event, Autosport also features a full double spread photo of Nick Mason in LM21 and Patrick Blakeney-Edwards in the FN, with Patrick, on opposite lock. The photo, by Jeff Bloxham, is across pages 8 & 9, and practically worth the £3 price of the Mag, on it's own!

Blakeney Edwards was almost on permanent opposite lock. The Frazer Nash has a slight tendency to oversteer
![]() I also caught Joshua Beebee after he had almost lost it... |

It also possible to have the FN go straight, but then you have to obviously stay away from the steering wheel.....

It was a great weekend, I couldn´t care less if somebody was out of tune !!
I had huge fun with the MATRA club members, who took care of my MATRA Djet. Thanks to Roy and Titus. We had some troubles with it. On friday the rotorarm fractured. That halted my timing to 2½ lap, but I had a fine wiev of all the others coming around. Saturday we had 4-5 fairly troublefree laps, then it began a missfire, it wouldn´t response proper when I put the pedal down, and on lap 7 I pulled in. The problem was appearently that we had run with too hot plugs. But I learned about the car, this weekend. I was amasing how many people came to the paddock and knew something about it. Thank you all for such a great weekend at Goodwood. |

With ING parting company with Renault; Should his Worshipfullness hot foot it in their direction for sponsorship? After all if successfull, with what they paid Renault, no need to ask for a donation next year
