Retro Rides Weekender 2023 : 20th + 21st May at Goodwood

[HoTWire]

20th and 21st May 2023 we return to the fabulous Goodwood Circuit for another laid back weekend of awesome cars, track action, special displays, good food and good times. We can reveal two of our paddocks for this year already.

After the success of The Red Room last year, we're running with the theme and going for The White Room this year, so if you've got a white pre-2000 car and fancy being part of that, the application details will be available in January.

The other paddock we can reveal is Aircooled. Whilst VW and Porsche dominate most aircooled thought there is a vast array of cars from Corvairs, Tatras, Simcas, Citroens, Hondas and more that we're aiming to bring to this paddock. Again application will be available in January.

Also opening up in January will be our Deadline display applications - so if you're building something new let us know early! We're taking some lessons from last year and moving this display to make more of it this year. In fact we're doing a bunch of things differently based on learnings from last year.

We're very aware money is tight for a lot of us right now, so there will be a pre-sale ticket at last year's price of £49, available until 31st January 2023. This will then rise to the Early Bird price of £54 and will run until 20th April where it will rise to the standard price of £59. We are making every effort to keep entry prices as low as we can whilst still delivering more and better shows in 2023. We hope you join us.

Day tickets will also be available for £15 on pre-sale, £17.50 for early bird and £20 at standard rate from 21st April.

Tickets can be purchased here : www.trybooking.com/uk/events/landing?eid=34146&

More info will be incoming soon!

Tickets bought! What's deemed a Deadline build? I'm building a car at the moment and would like to sprint and autotest it at the Weekender. Does it have to be only just ready in time? I reckon it will be done in a couple of months. Ferg

Would be perfect for Deadline, basically anything that is completed from about now until the show.

Are deadline builds put on their own stand? And where/when do we enter them? Cheers!

It has its own display area, which has a new location this year as we're doing some layout changes based on what did and didn't work last year

About to book tickets, what do you need to do register you and your car for track time?
Cheers

Track time is much closer to the event between 4 and 8 weeks before the event* (see note) chuck me a message with an email address and I'll add you to my "release" reminder list that I send out just before track time is released

Note - we really haven't got that timing consistent for a number of reasons

1. My "proper" work issues can get in the way sometimes

2. Release too early say 8 weeks before the event and I get a lot of drop outs closer to the event

3. Release too late say 4 weeks before the event and we don't fill all the spaces (it's close but not perfect) and sometimes we have comms issues with late entries

So on that basis I think we can say Track Time for Saturday will be released on Fri 7th April 2023 HoTWire - can we plan for that

We will also try to fix one of the irritating issues with email applications (if you type your own email address in wrong at the application stage we are pretty knackered as far as offering spaces on track goes) so we want to make sure every application gets a "yes we've got it email" and if people don't get one of those then contact xxx AT xxx DOT org

Me, I'm easily confused!

Weekender 2023 20th and 21st May at Goodwood Circuit Tickets
Full Weekend
Pre Sale : £49
After 31st January : £55
After 21st April : £59

Day Tickets
Pre Sale : £15
After 31st January : £17.50

What's the difference between "Full Weekend Pre Sale : £49" and 2 x "Day Tickets Pre Sale : £15" apart from £19 squid?

[adam73bgt]

Full weekend would include camping also 😉

What adam73bgt said. Camping.

I'll make that clearer when I next send out info and when I make the proper website

Morning chaps,

for the white paddock does the car need to be all white or just mostly white? And does anyone know the tunnel height for getting into the inner circuit paddock?

At the moment we're seeing what applies and working from there.

If you can't get through the tunnel we can take you through a gate across the track.

What you thinking of bringing??

Well was either thinking the Rally Car in its works livery or take the long haul down in the Volvo 6x6

Hi, Is anyone else having problems uploading photos to their applications? Thought it was just me and my bad Internet, but my brother is having issues uploading photos too.

I applied way back at the start of January to have my car in the deadline paddock, but think I could only upload one photo at the time. Getting my car back from a full respray in April, so hopefully I'll have a month to put it all back together just in time for the event.

My brother has just applied to have his car entered into the white room and again has issues uploading pictures. Think he only managed one aswell. His car is returning this year. He displayed it in the retro parking area last year, but hopefully it'll be in the white room this year.

I think it does mention on the application page that we can edit the applications later on, but can't seem to find where to do so. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Looking forward to this year. Cheers everyone

Hey, I'm still programming the edit system, will be live soon and I'll email out to everyone that applied so they can come and edit what they need/want to.

I'll see if I can work out what the problem with the image upload may be.

I am so ready for the the good weather and car shows to start

[philbap]

Fiesta is lush

[Phil2600s]

This is probably a daft question but do the cars in the White room need to be mint or as close as, mines a little bit rough around the edges.

Nope we're not that kind of show. Although the do need to be white, not beige, or blue(!). We have had a high volume of entries (like and insane amount to be honest) so we're likely to select now for overall paddock aesthetic which I think means we'll pick solid white cars. However stick in an application as we may end up pull out some of the entries for a secondary display, there are so many good ones in there (and across the other paddocks).

There doesn't seem to be a standalone thread so hopefully you won't mind me popping something in here.

I'm on the look out for a couple of camping tickets if any come back up for sale, +/- a couple of kids camping tickets too.
