They suggest country casual. Whatever that is. I dress for the weather - Peter is right - assume it will be cold !

Food wise, there are a number of options, none especially cheap but tends to be decent quality. The Goodwood website normally lists the range of options.

I dress as if for cold winter's day fishing - but without the waders , obvs...No one cares what you wear and if anything , I think the more exhibitionist fashionista at the MM tend just to look a bit daft really.

I must sport my 60s look one year- scruffy parka , cheap Wrangler copy jeans scuffed desert boots , a 3 day old shirt and chain smoking Embassy Tipped. Damned sight more authentic than up market scarlet cords , Dubarry boots, tweed sports jackets and cravats .

That sounds like my 60s look too. And my 70s. 80s. 90s. 00s. 10s. 20s.

(Apart from the Embassy)

I don't think I fancy turning up in knickerbocker trousers, knee length socks, Raxar jacket, and cycling shoes( with shoe plates) and bonk bag slung across the shoulders.
Period can be taken too far.

It sounds like you'd cut quite a dash if you did!

Thermals!

**BertMk2** · 3 Mar 2020, 13:58 (Ref:3961205)

Is the live stream restricted to members only this year? (assuming there is one). I quite like the sound of the rally cars running into the darkness.

Gerard C · 4 Mar 2020, 05:45 (Ref:3961404)

I've always enjoy the live streaming, good views and free. Is the dress code thing very serious meaning mandatory? I went only once to the Revival and dont remember this.

The GRRC are still suggesting ‘exclusive live streaming’ as a club benefit, so we’ll see what happens this year.

‘Dress Code’ is a Revival thing, not MM. But even at the former, it’s not mandatory except in the inner paddocks. Maybe collecting area, parc ferme and club marquee as well.....

Gerard C · 4 Mar 2020, 07:21 (Ref:3961411)

Dont remember what kind of wear I had when at the Revival. A charming and very special occasion. I remember my Dad organising, participating or just watching many concours d'élégance. Even one at La Baule with mum, Sammy the dog and a race Gordini. I won't mention a nice 328…

zefarelly · 4 Mar 2020, 08:35 (Ref:3961428)

If one is correctly attired of a normal day, one doesn't need to dress up!

I'm popping over at lunch today ( HRDC) and tomorrow is a MM test day . . . .

zefarelly · 4 Mar 2020, 13:21 (Ref:3961515)

Just dropped in, same old, a few things with a new coat of paint to disguise themselves and what I'm fairly sure was a Y type MG, (probably a spaceframed MGB) which didn't quite look right with large black MInilites, but what do I know.

Updates appreciated !

**Peter Mallett** · 4 Mar 2020, 16:03 (Ref:3961538)

I'm due to be at a track day on 21st so will try to post an update.

I'm going to pop over tomorrow for testing as it's local, will report back but basically everywhere is saturated.

I'll be there too.
After a decade of lurking will be nice to place a face to the name!
I did wonder if any other Tenthers might be using the day for MM shakedowns.

**Peter Mallett** · 5 Mar 2020, 06:57 (Ref:3961687)

I'm taking my MGB I'm not running in the MM this year. But will be good to meet up.

zefarelly · 5 Mar 2020, 07:52 (Ref:3961693)

It's nailing it down in PO19 . . . A hovercraft will lap faster than anything on 4 wheels today.

justracing · 5 Mar 2020, 09:12 (Ref:3961703)

Hmm, same in BN17 and showing no signs of improvement, perhaps I'll give Goodwood a miss today

Great I'm looking forward to meeting you Peter.

I'll be there in either a MG ZA or more likely an early Porsche 944.
