What is Breakfast Club?
It’s a no-cost, all-welcome motoring show where the visitors and their machines are the stars. There’s no driving – apart from what we hope will be a delightful early-morning run to the circuit on some of Sussex’s finest roads. In 2018, all visitors to the event will need to either pre-register a vehicle or sign up for a free ticket. Please see the link for more information.
2018 EVENT TICKETS
Breakfast Club is free to attend, but to make sure you are granted access please sign up for a free ticket ahead of each event. Goodwood will now be ticketing the event to manage the capacity of the Motor Circuit to ensure that all visitors have an enjoyable and safe day.
Classic Car Sunday - 05 August 2018
Celebrating the heyday of motoring, Classic Car Sunday will welcome cars of all types, shapes and speeds – as long as they were built before 1978. We aim to fill the motor circuit with tax-exempt cars and bikes just a few weeks before the Revival gets underway.
No club stand, but hope to see few of you there...

I know I've mentioned this before, but the IMOC Duderstadt meet where we meet up with our old Dutch and German friends is going to have it's 16th meet this year. The Dutch have taken over this year and my old, good friend Erik who has been going since it started is organising it. Last year was the last time our German friends organised it and we had a wickedly good time, despite bonkers weather!
He's offering two nights in a hotel with breakfast and dinner included for €87 per person which is a bit of a bargain. It will mostly be with the Dutch guys but I'm sure a few of the German guys will come too.
Duderstadt is in the Harz region of Germany. Think the peak district but with less traffic and no speed cameras. The format is that we drive to Duderstadt normally in convoy with our Dutch friends who know a scenic route there, though you can just go straight there if you so wish, but be warned it's a very long drive in one day. Another option is to have a stop over at Gent (which is a beautiful city) on the way to break the drive up a bit. Last year we did it in one go from the Eurotunnel and I found it a bit much really.
Duderstadt is a beautiful place, it's a small city on the old East/West Border and on the Saturday they allow us to display our cars in the pedestrianised high street.
My thinking is that this is a great opportunity to get the GT86/BRZ's involved and have a truly international meet with a load of our MR2 friends we already know from JAE. I'd love to get some German, Dutch and Belgian GT86/BRZ's there.
I'm thinking a bit of a tour on the way there if people are up for it. We could have a night in fabulous Bruges, then we could go to Utrecht with a train ride into Amsterdam, or we could even stay in Amsterdam if parking is possible. The options are open. Utrecht is like a smaller Amsterdam and perhaps a night or two there before meeting up with the 'Wild Bunch' (MR2 owners) and convoy with them to Duderstadt.
After the display in the city, we go for a drive out round the Harz region, it's big, quiet and there are some good fast roads. Then it's party on in the usual style.
Here's a few pics from when I've been in 2012 and 2013. Let me know what you guys think.

I really think it could be an epic trip. I would say it's a week away or more if people want to do that. We normally have a few stop overs on the way there and may well stop in Bruges again on the way back. You can if you're a bit mad, get on the Chunnel or ferry and drive straight to Duderstadt on the autobahn, but it's a long old way.
I think the earlier we start organising this, the better it will be.

The safest circuit in Britain with vast run-off areas and almost complete absence of Armco barriers Car track days are run on either the never ending GT or SEN layouts. Bedford Autodrome is unusual in that it runs in an anti-clockwise format which offers a nice change.
The GT is a massive 4.2 miles long, offers amazing value and putting together a good complete lap is a drivers challenge. The South West configuration is as used by the BRDC F4 Championship drivers in testing. The 2.3 mile SEN layout is a real treat for drivers and Evo magazine's favourite for car testing.
