2017 Goodwood Festival of Speed

Big Adam · Mar 2, 2017

I don't think it's too early to start this year's GFOS thread - I bought my ticket for the Saturday today. Will be taking my 8yr old son with me too.

So, who else is going? 😉

I expect I'll be there, not sure if I'm working yet or just there for a jolly 😀

@Big Adam, @dtf, and other members planning to attend this weekend, please don't forget to post some of your pictures and video, so that the rest of us who won't be as lucky to be there in person, can at least participate in spirit. 😀

But which watch to wear??

What are the choices?

Big Adam · Jun 29, 2017

I'm torn between the Lewis Hamilton Calibre S or a Carrera Re-Edition.
Think I'll go with the Lewis although I hope I don't brake it.

Which Carrera Re-Edition do you have? Are you talking about the blue one? Or one from the 90's?

Big Adam · Jun 29, 2017

90's CS3112 with Daytona Rings
It rarely gets an outing these days.
The blue Cal 17 was my third choice but would hate to give it a 'ding' pre-sale.

Based on the options, I wholeheartedly agree with you. Go with the Lewis Hamilton Calibre S.
Have a great time!

I managed to see a couple of hours of the live stream yesterday. I've got to get a photo with that massive 'Bernie' sculpture!

Which sculpture? This one?

Big Adam · Jun 30, 2017

Yes, it celebrates Bernie's tenure as F1 oligarch (well actually, the five stages of his involvement in F1)
The guys on yesterday's live stream suggested all the cars used belonged to Bernie. I'm not sure that's true.
Jalopnik suggested the sculpture should actually look like this:

Thanks. Those guys do have a sense of humor.
