Talk:Goodwood Circuit

Crowd sizes
"The event used to attract crowds in excess of 100,000 spectators, but over the past decade, it has been declining and in 2008 saw just 82,000 people." 'just 82,000 people' ?! I would think all Premier League football clubs would be very pleased if they could attract 82,000 people to a match !! I realise that the original writer was trying to draw attention to the reduction in crowd sizes but I think this sentence could do with a re-write. RASAM (talk) 14:59, 3 September 2009 (UTC)

And while we are at it, doesn't the quote below look a little strange, particularly as it appears in the same section as the first one above? Its not that I'm a crowd freak, but there is some mighty contradictory information here.

"In 2008, a crowd of 68,000 people turned up to the event on the main Sunday, 9,000 more than in 2007."

Nine Hours
This article is factually incorrect - the Goodwood Nine Hours events, which included Britains's first after-dark racing, took place in 1952, 1953 and 1955. I will amend in due course. --Rupertlt (talk) 22:10, 2 April 2011 (UTC)

Miles/Kilometres
The UK does not use kilometres for measurement - nobody in the UK in period or today would refer to the length of the Goodwood circuit, or other circuits, in kilometres. Kilometres should not be used by the template as the default measurement for UK motor racing circuits. It is culturally insensitive. Please use British English. --Rupertlt (talk) 13:50, 3 April 2011 (UTC)

Members Meeting?
Couldn't help notice that there is no mention of the modern Members Meeting which along with Revival is one of the two major events that utilise the circuit. https://www.goodwood.com/motorsport/members-meeting/

On a side note if mentioning Breakfast Club events perhaps also worth mentioning event such as the Spring Sprint. https://www.goodwood.com/grr/race/modern/grrc-spring-sprint--the-results/ 148.252.156.26 (talk) 10:21, 15 April 2024 (UTC)
