Decided to go on the Friday and Sunday this year. Had an unfortunate camera issue yesterday (Nikon lens is borked for some reason), so the photos are a bit rubbish, but you're welcome to have a squizz here. I'll be popping along for more tomorrow, along with the ropey point-and-shoot backup camera. Let's see how that works out... Amazing show as always, of course. Just astonishing on all levels - the variety, the quality, the commitment, the racing... unmissable.

Dan, there is nowt wrong with those photos! Lovely shots, really catch the spirit of the event.
So much so, you just inspired a change of plan. We don't have tickets but were planning on going down to the 'over the road' area, to get some of the fun, but now, after being reminded how good it really is, I am trying to get some last minute tickets!
Have fun there tomorrow.

...and here's the last photo ever taken on my dying lens before it totally expired.  DSC_5266 by dbizzle_, on Flickr RIP, old friend, we had some good times. But then you betrayed me, you expensive b*stard. So, switch to the cheapo backup camera...

Oh yes, and this was a fun moment - the Riley One-Point-Five lost its wheel at the start of the pit straight, which then bounced all along the grid with driveshaft still attached, before landing at the other end inches from the spectators. (Rubbish photo, but you get the idea.)  SDC18294 by dbizzle_, on Flickr |

I was lucky enough to get some freebie tickets through work (we built the stand for Bendicks Mints, opposite the Tesco). I haven't been for years and to be honest I'd forgotten what a great show it is. I'll definitely be back next year though - the car park alone is worth driving down for!
alolympic - I saw your car parked up in on the grass late yesterday. I've always been a big fan but it's the first time I've seen you at a show. I thought I'd say a quick hello so I loitered for a while but got worried your other half and little un might think I was a weirdo!
Great pics Dan - a million times better than mine!

DSC_4911 by dbizzle_, on Flickr Bit o' porn for the TurboDieselWeasel  Out of curiosity, what lens broke? I'm having issues with my wide at the moment (my fault), and am waiting for it to eventually seize up altogether! Will be purchasing a Sigma 85mm EX DG HSM 1.4 when I am in Japan in a couple of months time. Amazing lens.  |

I'm no pro, I don't really know a lot about cameras - I just love the V1 because it's easy to use and sometimes makes my ham-fisted amateur snapping look good! So I'm just replacing it with another standard Nikkor lens. |

I trundled down to Goodwood on the Sunday and, as usual, it was epic!
The classic carpark itself is a gem of a place to be with SO MUCH to see... My Toledo is a '76 model so it didn't make it in there but I parked up by a Maserati Mistral so that was nice!!!
I have to admit to getting a spine tingle when I saw the Lancasters up in the air then the classic jets pierced the sky and I nearly exploded with delight...!!!!
I didn't really watch much racing but hey, there is always next year...
Thanks for sharing your pictures dbizzle they are just wonderful...

Thanks for the pics, the Revival was a blast, as always. You bottled out of our challenge for a chap-hop face-off in the beer tent then? It's off topic but perhaps RRers would be interested in the outfits of the Revival? I wrote this light-hearted feature on some of the stuff I saw: www.motorpunk.co.uk/out-and-about/outfits-of-the-goodwood-revival/ A taster of that is below;  |

So I'm just replacing it with another standard Nikkor lens. Ah yep. The 1 is a pretty good option for a semi serious snapper. Lots of capability and options without much difficulty or cost. Has done you proud at this event :-) |
