Seriously, Pete, as you were posting while I was composing...
in their approach. I love them both, and I wouldn't miss either for the world.
Coys and Goodwood are very different events
Coys has become a very well run Internationally-minded event, which progresses with the professionalism that befits the second largest event at Silverstone after the GP.
Goodwood, while blessed with a glittering International presence, is run purely on its own terms. It's as though Lord March and his team have taken a good hard look at how motor racing and spectator demands have progressed, and decided to carry on just as they always did.
In that respect, I find Goodwood very similar in ethos and flavour to Le Mans. The ACO makes no secret of having no truck with any other racing organiser in the world, and carries on in its own sweet way.
You either enjoy what they provide, or you walk away shaking your head. In this increasingly homogenous world, needless to say, I love it!
