THE GOODWOOD REVIVAL STARTLINE GRANDSTAND
SEATS FROM THE MACDONALD BOTLEY PARK HOTEL, BOTLEY
20 - 22 SEPTEMBER 2008 (2 nights)

The Goodwood Revival is a magical step back in time, a celebration of the halcyon
days of motor racing as it used to be with all the accompanying spectacle and glamour of that era, with competitors and spectators alike dressed in period fashions. This is an outstanding event, the Revival is simply in a league of its own there is no other motor sport spectacle in the world to compare. It is an enormous theatrical experience and at its centre the motor racing.

Grand Prix, sports and GT cars thunder around the circuit driven by great names which on past occasions have included Sir Stirling Moss, Derek Bell and Johnny Herbert. Bands play music from the fifties, shops selling fish and chips wrapped in 1950's newspaper, parades of Ford Cortinas, aerobatics featuring Spitfires and American Mustangs and transport within the circuit provided by period vehicles ensure that this occasion is an authentic period experience. You will have grandstand tickets for Sunday in the popular and much sought after Startline Grandstand.

This two-night tour is based at the Macdonald Botley Park Hotel, near Southampton set in landscaped grounds with golf and leisure facilities.

Saturday 20 September: Check into your rooms before welcome drink and illustrated talk given by Stephen Vokins, author and film editor who will set the scene and show film footage of motoring events.
