Thank you to everyone involved in the making of the weekender, me and my mates had a fantastic weekend camping from the Friday. Such a brilliant atmosphere as usual, the variety of cars is unbelievable and is the reason that it is the greatest car show in the UK in my opinion and why I have been going to RR events since I found out about them in 2013.
I loved taking my Volvo 940 around the track, it has highlighted I need to make some serious suspension upgrades now. It did the 350 miles driving without fault apart from the valves now needing a reshim as I'm sure many people heard it tapping away nicely at the start line.
All in all an unforgettable experience and I shall be going next year most definitely, maybe in the Volvo 760... where do I apply for next years deadline display haha.

Me and Mattwiththesportrangeroverbutwhoisn'tonRROrFb had a great time, Last minute autosolo entry in an inappropriate vehicle was great fun, bumped into lots of familiar faces, made some new friends, great camping, great show, all the staff, marshals and security were brilliant. Don't know how you organised the weather, but well done. Top marks, medals and promotions all round. Looking forward to the next event.

I knew it was going to be good, but didn't think it would be that good. Had a great time, just make sure they don't switch to plastic coat hangers for next year just incase.

It felt so, so good to be back at a car show... and what a fantastic show it was. Catching up with friends, making new ones and seeing some incredible cars. I came back feeling really inspired and fired up to crack on with my own builds.
Thank you to everyone who made this show possible, I know you worked your backsides off!

You were correct when you said he was the best behaved 9yr old that you know - glad I could help PS Have a better shot taken on my potato cam

Absolutely fantastic show, brilliant cars, brilliant people Credit to all the organising people and those that support them to put on a cracking show! Weather was just the icing on the cake. Goodwood was as good as ever. Great to wander round the paddocks track and club area to see such a variety I loved the track time i got on the afternoon on Saturday, Ian and his team did a great job getting everything in place and was great to get an extra than advertised session in the beautiful evening sun. What a track it is, for a smaller engine car like mine the chicane on the straight was an ideal addition too. Just thanks to everyone for making it a great show!

But well organised and laid back would be how I'd describe it

I’ve already said my thanks to the majority of the team in person, what with briefly joining them Saturday and Sunday mornings to assist parking the static show areas but I’ll echo it again, excellent show, thanks to all the effort that goes into making this what it is. I’ll reiterate what HARDCORE said on his car thread about some of my best friends and these events are not only the main time I get to see them, but the main reason I know you all in the first place so long live RRW/RRG.

Huge THANK YOU to the RR Team and all involved with the organisation of this event, it was so nice to get out to a RR Event after waiting for so long! I can definitely say it was the best one to date for me.
The vibe was brilliant and we found all the security staff really friendly and helpful, they didnt even mind us driving our roofless golf buggy onsite the whole time which allowed us to explore and enjoy the event even more!
Look forward to next time and possibly even a Tat Auction at RRG!

Agree with all the others, it's a top notch event with a superb spread of all types of vehicles. Next year I might even summon up the courage to say hello to a few folks!

It took me a while, but after last year I was determined to talk to people (so sorry if you were one of those ) Yup, as said thanks to everyone involved, hadn’t considered the hours that go into making it what it is* Was such a chilled and diverse event and everyone was smiling and having fun. Roll on August!!! *After chatting to bstardchild we did wander around near where we’d camped and did a litter sweep, so hopefully we saved you a little bit of effort on Monday

After chatting to bstardchild we did wander around near where we’d camped and did a litter sweep, so hopefully we saved you a little bit of effort on Monday For that you have 1000 thanks from us as do the security team and any other campers who made the effort The security team also assisted and many many campers bagged up and stuck them in piles (because the two skips in the campsite were full) It took 4 trips with a trailer to load up the skip in public parking (which was basically empty) Public parking however gave us some very unpleasant surprises (insert barf emoji and I’d need another shower before stating some of the contents we picked up) Next time camp site will get 3 skips and public parking will get a couple of old 200 litre drums We were done by midday which was a first for us
