Circuitmarshal · 8 Dec 2008, 22:18 (Ref:2350539)

Bognor Regis & Southsea Motor Clubs
Proudly present the 5th running of The Towncross South Downs Stages at the delightful Goodwood Motor Racing Circuit.

This is a small friendly event with a start time of first car at 0900 lunch 1200 – 1300 finish 1600hrs.
There will be rewards for marshals on the day, together with a lunch break (we feed you) of at least 45 mins by the time you get from & to your post, with thanks to Marsh Plant.
Other benefits are permanent toilets & food outlets, so a good way to introduce family and friends to motorsport.

You looking for an invite or you just going to show up anyway?

About 15 so far, on the entry list on the event web site.

jonbryant · 20 Dec 2008, 22:16 (Ref:2359031)

I'll show up anyway but just wondered what the entries were like!

I guess they will be like rally cars!!

Sorry!

**BertMk2** · 21 Dec 2008, 10:05 (Ref:2359175)

The Celica GT4 on the entry list is a really good looking car - we saw that up at millbrook earlier in the year (it goes quite well too

)

Circuitmarshal · 21 Dec 2008, 11:38 (Ref:2359200)

Went very well around Longcross a couple of weeks ago in the P'ing rain.
Think Goodwood is it last time out, new car I think is Corolla WRC!!

Circuitmarshal · 10 Jan 2009, 11:42 (Ref:2368806)

Entry list looking good.
Could do with a few more confirmed marshals rather than the list of maybes.

Circuitmarshal · 24 Jan 2009, 12:00 (Ref:2378169)

Entry list full but taking reserves as last year I think about 4 got a run.
Going to be very tight at the front got to be worth a watch, FREE to get in, and you can walk all the way round, 2.42 miles.(in case your up for it Bert!!)
As I said in my first post a good way to introduce family and friends to motorsport.

We would have entered if our mate had finished building his car - we were going to use the event to hand hold them through and show them the ropes in a "safe" environment. Their car is not finished so we'll make our way to Lydden for the rallycross (although I will of course only be spectating there

). Have a good day - with the look of the entry list it should be a good one

Circuitmarshal · 24 Jan 2009, 20:57 (Ref:2378395)

Thank you for your nice words.
I will feel the Love on the day!!

Hope your day will be as good as mine, my little helper will be busy as I have a rally to watch!!

zac510 · 24 Jan 2009, 23:05 (Ref:2378457)

This is sounding like a good excuse to go for a drive, I'll pop it in the diary!

Circuitmarshal · 25 Jan 2009, 10:22 (Ref:2378619)

Forgot to say apart from walking round, there is a very good view from on top of the pit lane.
If you are coming to watch even tho the sun will be shining there could still be the airfield draft.
So wrap up warm, there aren't many places to hide from the draft.

westfieldbend · 26 Jan 2009, 17:17 (Ref:2379733)

is the chicane car park being used again? that was quite interesting last year, although it was perhaps more like an autosolo then a rally!

its so annoying that there are 2 events on near us this weekend, then there wont be anything for a few weeks!

Yes the chicane paddock will be in use it keeps cars moving, as Goodwood are limited to only five cars at a time on the circuit.
Not only that it's keep fit exercise for my marshals!!

Circuitmarshal · 6 Feb 2009, 18:56 (Ref:2389952)

Well today setting up was wet and a very cold wind, but all done and ready to go.
NO snow.

Circuitmarshal · 8 Feb 2009, 16:43 (Ref:2391140)

Thank You marshals for your help on the event, think most got some sort of freebie, but all got fed.
See you all again next year for another day of fun in the sun.

**BertMk2** · 8 Feb 2009, 22:17 (Ref:2391330)

So who won? Got lucky with the weather again - should have been a cracking day

Circuitmarshal · 8 Feb 2009, 22:29 (Ref:2391336)

Set up on Friday was very & very cold.
Saturday bit of a breeze but nice and sunny.
