For those of you purchasing circuit time, it is important that you read the following please.
There have been a few questions regarding insurance or taking out additional insurance.
Origine RS is the Organiser of a Track Day and has elected to purchase the Association of Motor Racing Circuit Owners public liability insurance and follow their code of practice for member circuits.
Goodwood is the Venue Operator and an AMRCO member circuit.
This is the required public liability cover in the event of accident or injury. It does not cover damage to your vehicle. You will need to check with your insurer if you require additional cover. Some policies include track day cover others don't. The majority of people do not take out separate insurance cover for track days and have no problems but you do so at your own risk
For further information please read the AMRCO Code of Practice.
Our last year's star of the show:
The award winning Alpine A220 11395

For those of you taking their cars onto the circuit... Please take time to go through this:
Check List
(Please also read the official Goodwood instructions when you get them.)
1) Brakes: Have a look at your brake pads, front and rear, if they are anywhere near being worn out then replace them now and get them bedded in on the journey down. Heavy braking on track will soon finish off a set, especially standard road ones as some (well 1 actually) of our members have found out to their cost (twice!). I expect to have a few sets of part worn ones with me but these will be for get you home use only!
2) Fuel: Try to fill up to at least above half a tank (or more if doing a full day) as you will be astounded by how fast that needle will go down towards empty. If you stop out on track out of fuel the session will be red flagged and others will lose their track time. There is no fuel at the track the nearest petrol station is a Sainsbury at PO19 7YR and is about 5 minutes from Goodwood. The nearest Shell is at BN18 0SB about a 20 min round trip (Fontwell, near the hotel most are staying at) or others are a 40 minute round trip away on the A27 at PO10 7RB (BP) and PO10 7SU (Shell) but if you miss your session while going out for fuel you will not be refunded or re allocated. Please also note, if you bring your own fuel that there is a specified area where you are allowed to re fuel your car. Do not attempt to re fuel in the paddock or display area.
3) Fluids: Obvious really but check those fluids. Dip your engine dipstick to make sure it is up to the level, I personally never trust the dash readout and heavy cornering will surge oil to one side of the sump if on minimum or below. Check your coolant level and power steering too. As for brake fluid, have the level above min but not near the max, use a syringe to remove some if its on max. This will prevent leakage from the cap when cornering and I would suggest Ph1 owners to tie a piece of rag around the filler neck just under the cap as leaked fluid will wreck your luggage holder. Needless to say, bring some fluid with you and top up between sessions if needed.
4) Tyres: Again obvious but check they still have plenty of tread left and that the pressures are correct and check again after your first session to see how much the pressure rise is. Loose some air when hot to bring the pressures back to where they should be and remember when going home to re set the pressure to normal road setting if you have lowered them during the day. I will hopefully have a compressor and air line with me assuming we have some power to hook up to.
5) Loose Objects: Don't carry anything in any luggage compartment and if your tyre inflator can is in the car remove it, we should have some covered paddock area in which to stow your stuff. If anything is in the car make sure it is safely stowed away or bolted down, especially fire extinguishers.
6) Towing eye: Find you towing eye now and know where to fit it. You may need to use it when on sessions (to be confirmed).
Getting there:
Allow plenty of time to get there at the Weekend. Many routes out of London have road works and speed restrictions. Give yourself an extra hour or so to get there on time, especially on Friday evening.
Our event shop is now live, and ready to take your much appreciated orders of both "Circuit Time" and "Show and Shine"
