JAPFEST CLASSIC, Goodwood, SUNDAY 6 October 2024

[Casey]

Thanks for confirming Rob, see you there

@Rob. There is very little information so far about this event. Stand passes are due to be sent out and maybe there will be some further information included with those (hopefully).

On the basis the show opens to the public from 10am, it is a reasonable assumption the organisers will want cars on stands before that time. On that basis, having nothing better to go on, myself and group of FB owners, plus an RX-8 and maybe the small Dutch contingent, plan to meet up in the nearby Halfords Car Park at 9am, to depart no later than 9.15 for the event. If you want to to join the convoy, please let me know.

We may revise that time if we get more info from the organisers!Not a valid attachment ID.

Stand passes now received via email!

It is unclear as to the latest times that cars are expected to arrive. There is conflicting information on the email and attached document; 9.00am or 9.30am.

We have therefore decided to convoy from Halfords car park by 8.45am latest.

@Rob, if you wish to join us in the convoy, please let me know, else if everyone I'm aware of has arrived before 8.45am, we may leave earlier

3 hour non-stop trip down to Chichester today, some 70mph cruising and some crawling traffic. Car was awesome, didn't miss a beat. Very enjoyable trip down.

See you all tomorrow!

I parked up in Chichester with nothing either side of me. Came back an hour later to find a Japanese sandwich  :lol:

I wonder where those 2 are headed tomorrow

A slightly disappointing event, partly due to the dismal and drizzly weather, partly due to it being a totally static event! Being at Goodwood, I was expecting at least something moving on track, even if parades 

The best bit was the large variety of cars on display, and the opportunity to meet and chat with other Mazda Rotary owners.

Huge kudos to Kees and his party, who came all the way over from Holland to be at this event 

Here are two photos of the Dutch stand, with my car included.

The RX7fb.com Club also had a nearby stand at this event. I moved my car later in the day, so we could get a rare line up of UK RX-7 1st Gens! Sadly, one had already left the stand at this point, so it would have been 6 x 7's in the line-up.

Sorry we could not make this one, especially as I would have loved to have seen Kees's Red Cosmo as I have never seen a red one before.

Hopefully more pictures will appear
