Drivers who disobey the overtaking policy will be black flagged, if they repeatedly disobey the overtaking policy we have the right to remove the driver from the event in the interest of the other participants safety.
Tuition
At RMA Track Days we take tuition very seriously, we will always have ARDS Grade A driver coach on hand to help any drivers looking to improve their lap. If you would like to book tuition for this event, please tick the box upon booking and you will be allocated 30 minutes in the morning and a 30 minute slot in the afternoon.
Sighting Laps
At the start of the drivers briefing we will ask all participants if they have been to the circuit before, please don't be shy if you haven't as we will ask you to raise your hand. We purely use this to gauge the number of new comers to the track. If there seems to be a large number of new drivers, we will likely hold a 20 minute familiarisation session for these drivers to see the circuit at a slow pace before the track day goes fully live.
Photography
Photography is complimentary on this event courtesy of RMA and Jakob Ebrey Photography. You will be sent an email within 24 hours of the event finishing with a link to download your photos.
Goodwood Circuit Information & History
Goodwood Circuit is a historic venue for both two- and four-wheeled motorsport in the United Kingdom. The 3.8 kilometres (2.4 mi) circuit is situated near Chichester, West Sussex, close to the south coast of England, on the estate of Goodwood House, and completely encircles Chichester/Goodwood Airport. This is the racing circuit dating from 1948, not to be confused with the separate hillclimb course located at Goodwood House and first used in 1936.
The racing circuit began life as the perimeter track of RAF Westhampnett airfield, which was constructed during World War II as a relief airfield for RAF Tangmere. The first race meeting took place on 18 September 1948, organised by the Junior Car Club and sanctioned by the Duke of Richmond and Gordon.[4] The winner of the first race was P. de F. C. Pycroft, in his 2,664 c.c. Pycroft-Jaguar, at 66.42 m.p.h. Stirling Moss won the 500cc race (later to become Formula 3), followed by Eric Brandon and "Curly" Dryden, all in Coopers.
Goodwood became famous for its Glover Trophy non-championship Formula One race, Goodwood Nine Hours sports car endurance races run in 1952, 1953 and 1955, and the Tourist Trophy sports car race, run here 1958-1964. The cars that raced in those events can be seen recreating (in shorter form) the endurance races at the Goodwood Revival each year in the Sussex trophy and the Royal Automobile Club Tourist Trophy (RAC TT).
Goodwood has, over the years, played host to many famous drivers: Mike Hawthorn and Graham Hill had their first single seat races there, Roger Penske visited in 1963, and Jim Clark and Jack Sears competed in 1964. The accident that ended Stirling Moss's International career happened at St. Mary's Corner in 1962
