Goodwood Festival of Speed: 30th June to 3rd July 2011

As I’ve mentioned before, as a family we’re completely car and motorbike mental.  This year we’re definitely going to be heading to Goodwood for the Festival of Speed.  We’re going for the the usual mix of cars, superbikes, F1 racing teams and planes, and also for the flippin’ awesome Goodwood Hill Climb, which I’ve wanted to go and see for years.  I’m also secretly harbouring a bit of F1 driver lust – apparently – shhhhh! – Lewis and Jensen are going to be there in their cars.  Squee!

De brevren are going to be checking out the Young Driver experience,  sponsored by SEAT.  Amazingly, they’re going to let my children loose in the latest SEAT Ibizas (I know, they’re mental – in fact as long as they’re between 11-16 they’re allowed behind the wheel).  Behind the fun, though, there’s some potentially life-saving experience.  They learn everything from starting and cornering to handling an emergency stop, all supervised by a qualified instructor.  Mine will love it.

To celebrate SEAT’s sponsorship of this year’s Festival, they’re giving away hundreds of tickets for the event, including 20 family tickets (that’s for two adults and two children) plus two Young Driver session passes.  All you have to do is  ’Like’ the SEAT UK page on Facebook and enter your details on the Goodwood tab.

There are different tickets are up for grabs:

Thursday 30th June – that gives you access to the The Moving Motor Show (plus, 2 lucky entrants will also get a bonus prize of a coveted drive up the famous Goodwood Hill Climb.  WANT!).

Or, you can apply to win family tickets for Saturday 2nd or Sunday 3rd July – which give you access to the Festival, The SEAT Club House in the Goodwood Action Sports arena and 2 SEAT Young Driver Experiences.

Anyhoo, head over to the Facebook page for more info and I’ll see you there (I’ll be the one blending in just behind Jensen).   The competition ends Monday, so get busy.

   Want tickets SOOOOOO bad! Richard & Max would love to go again but tickets are like gold dust. If lucky I would be the best wife/mummy in the whole world. Wish me luck!
