Bud, you should venture up the Oulton Park for the Gold Cup weekend in August. Probably the best drivers' circuit in the UK and extremely good for spectators with a number of viewing points offering paroramic views. Much more interesting than airfield derived circuits.
You will of course need to get a passport to venture past Watford Gap and you'll need your Damarts too!
Thanks for the recommendation.
Being adventurous, we sometimes go as far north as Silverstone, for their excellent Classic meeting, so it's not that much further from here to Oulton Park, is it?
I must admit to finding the Goodwood events a bit too commercial and increasingly (IMHO) pretentious in recent years.
If you fancy a trip across the channel, I can thoroughly recommend Vintage Montlhery. Sadly the next one is not until 2019, but it is a superb event. Check out some of the videos on YouTube.
