Ant - there are two types of "Grandstand" - some where you can reserve a place ( and hence have somewhere to park the missus ) and some where it is first come first served. Naturally the former cost extra, and have to be booked in advance - again I commend to you getting the Goodwood "bumph" - it gives the layouts etc, and shows which grandstands are where. There is a website as well, which gives details, can't recall the address, but a quick search should find it.

There are usually several current F1 cars running up the hill at full chat - three years ago I watched (and listened to) a McLaren set the new course record - just the memories of that sound still send tingles down my spine. As it was the last run of the day, they left the PA replaying that soundtrack over and over - a wonderful thing. Petrolhead heaven.

You will have a good time, trust me. (Unless of course any USA gasholes decide to attend, in which case, hide).
