Finally, we get to enjoy our long-planned homage to the Goodwood Revival - featuring models of classic cars that raced before 1967. The format is very similar to our regular digital Saturdays, but the classes are different. Don’t worry if you haven’t got suitable cars to bring - there’s a Goodwood Club Car Rotation, a St Mary’s pairs race, a classic GT team race, plus loaners for the Whitsun Trophy sportscar race. It should be a lot of fun - and we have plans to make our Goodwood Saturday an annual highlight on the WHO calendar.

This Saturday’s event is the first of four all-day Digital Saturdays between now and the end of the year.

Goodwood Revival Digital Saturday - 24 September 2022. 10am - 5pm.

Regulations and formats can be found here: https://www.whoracing.org.uk/who_digital.html 

Mike has come up with this flowing track design, which contains some elements of the Goodwood circuit...

   

Doors open at 10am - please don’t arrive earlier… unless you are part of the set-up crew, of course! As always, we ask that all racers aged 12 or younger bring a responsible adult with them. Race fees: £6 for adults, £4 for under-16s - or £3/£2 for a half day. We now have pre-pay options, including a WHO/digital season ticket. Ask Terry for details.

Digital Saturday format: There’s time for practice after doors open at 10am, but our club car rotation begins sharp at 10.30am. Please don’t be late - we can't add you to the race once it has started. The rotation is a great way to get into the groove and learn the track. You’ll drive each of the six club cars for two minutes each - including a pit stop. The aim is to complete as many laps as possible. The day then progresses with a mix of individual, team and pairs races - there’s a break for lunch (you’ll need to provide your own) and we aim to finish by 5pm.

   

Dressing up: Although not obligatory, wearing a flat cap, a retro t-shirt - or even a full 1950s or 1960s outfit - will certainly add to the atmosphere of the day… as it does at the real Revival event. Some advanced warning… we do like to see a Christmas jumper or festive hat at our December Digital Saturday!

Covid precautions: Covid cases are much lower at the moment, but are predicted to rise again through the autumn. It seems sensible to keep our usual common-sense precautions in place to keep vulnerable members of the extended WHO family safe. The main thing is to stay away if you have any symptoms that could be Covid. Inside the Barn, wearing a face mask, practising good hand-hygiene and giving each other space are non-negotiable requirements. We will ensure as good ventilation as possible - and also have hand sanitiser and spare masks available if you forget your own. Any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.
