Walking around the Goodwood Revival this year brought to mind the Brooklands Automobile Racing Club (BARC), which anyone was allowed to join. However, few enthusiasts could afford to, and its slogan became: “The right crowd and no crowding.” The club only admitted into the building those wearing members, or members’ guest, badges.
The Goodwood Revival is an event most people can afford, and while period dress is the order of the day it’s not mandatory, although there seem to be many more visitors getting into the mood and the spirit of the Revival. As for the crowd, there seems a notable increase year on year. So, a strap line for Goodwood could be, “the right crowd and crowding too.”
