Dunno even if it is running for sure. I always go on the Sunday now. I\'ve found they sometimes don\'t even have the full field assembled on the Friday and often the "star" drivers aren\'t there for the Saturday runs, not that I\'m especially bothered about all that part of it tbh. I\'d rather go for the metal than the people. Was better pleased by chatting to Guy Martin (what a star) than seeing Lewis Hamilton swoosh by on his golf cart surrounded by McLaren-liveried entourage of flunkies, tbh :Snoring

£53 for a day ticket this year, gadzooks! Still don\'t let you buy them on the gate, either, you have to pre-order.

Mind you, probably worth the price, especially if the 787B\'s there. Let me know if you\'re gonna be there, dude, I\'ll keep an eye out for you

I gather its there this year,and can be found in the Cathedral padock, this is the one to the left of the main entrance behind the trees.:yes
Thursday is the moving car show with none of the cars running except the new test drive cars. However the 787 should be doing demo runs each day there after. Saw this last time at Goodwood many years ago and sounded great. Sounded even beter at Le Mans the other week though, but blink and you missed it, despite the noise though !:Viking
