We've loved hearing why you have decided to support the Goodwood Estate this year and join the Goodwood Supporters' Association. Here are just a few of your Goodwood stories and fond memories.

We've had a terrific response with our loyal visitors joining the reinvigorated Goodwood Supporters’ Association. Some of you have been kind enough to share with us your reasons why you’ve joined the GSA, so much so, we thought we’d share some of them.
Marcus Greenbrook (FELLOW-15929) has been attending a variety of Goodwood events over the years, including our early morning Breakfast Club meetings, Festival of Speed and our new cycling days at the Motor Circuit. “I have been a fan of motor racing all my life and attended the very early Festival of Speed events before they became the success they are now” he shared, including attending one very wet Festival of Speed a few years ago. “I think we all still remember that year” he added.
It wasn’t until 2019 when Marcus attended his first Revival meeting with his very good friend Gary Duncan. “Gary was also a massive fan of motor racing and attended many Goodwood events over the years too”. Gary sadly passed away in August and Marcus has “dedicated my GSA membership and paddock plaque in Gary’s name. The plaque will honour him for many years to come in one of the places he loved.”

Vivienne is a Goodwood superfan. “I joined the Goodwood Supporters’ Association as I simply love Goodwood - the cars, the events and the unique atmosphere that you don’t get anywhere else”, Vivienne tells us. She’s “a specialist marshal but I have never marshalled at Goodwood. I only ever visit Goodwood as a spectator purely because there is so much to see and do and I don’t want to miss anything”. Vivienne was keen to explain that “sometimes as a marshal, you just need to step back and remember why we do what we do and enjoy it at your leisure.” Vivienne said she “would hate to see Goodwood become yet another victim of COVID-19 and if I have helped in a small way to keep the Goodwood Estate going, that is thanks enough.”

Leo McNeir, a crime writer, got in touch with us to share how much Goodwood has played a part in his life since childhood. “I used to attend meetings at Goodwood, as well as other circuits throughout my youth,” Leo told us. “Back then, I enjoyed watching Grand Prix drivers racing in Formula 2, sports and GT cars, as well as Formula 1 machinery.” Leo witnessed drivers like Stirling Moss, Jack Brabham, Graham Hill and a host of other great talents which he still has fond memories of. “I'm not one to hark back to 'the good old days', but sometimes I miss the wide variety of cars that used to compete, which is why I love events such as the Goodwood Revival. I value the opportunity to see classic cars racing together on a classic track,” he added. “Goodwood has brought back the spirit that used to characterise motor racing.” Leo hopes that his contribution towards the GSA helps Goodwood to continue to thrive for many years to come and is looking forward to wearing his GSA pin badge with pride at future Goodwood events.
