Gutted to hear it got cancelled! Equally genuinely so happy to have met you on the Thursday. You are a top bloke Mark and i throughly enjoyed our chat about the Gumball 3000!
It is a shame that @Goodwood road & racing /His Grace, or TV presenters did not show us these scenes on the official live stream. As a ticket holder for Saturday I was OK with the decision to cancel but frustrated with the total lack of media on the official channel. I genuinely feel that showing the situation and a few words from organisers would have been the correct thing to do. THANKS for posting this Mark. Kudos.❤
Great video Mark, you put it into perspective on why it was cancelled, Goodwood is a world class event and they wouldn't have cancelled unless it was really necessary . Hope the cars are OK.🤞🤞
That was a really good video! We’re on the campsite right now and it’s still really windy. Having previously had a stand at the FoS, I can appreciate how the decision to close has had a huge impact to not just the traders, but also the contributors like yourself and the whole FoS team. Todays closure must amount to millions in lost revenue. 😢
I agree, it was absolutely the right call by Goodwood. Obviously the “Ken Block moment” never happened today. Have the organisers mentioned to you about moving this to Sunday as it’s not currently showing on the timetable, and yet there’s another Jeff Beck tribute scheduled? 🤷🏻♂️
@MarkMcCann64 ever heard of the precautionary principle, Mark? It's what Tony Blair employed when proposing the invasion of Iraq on the basis of the existence of weapons of mass destruction. It turned out that there weren't any. The UK met Office have much invested in the catastrophic climate change narrative and are pushing out extreme weather warnings as often as they can. My question is straightforward. With hindsight, should this have happened, or should the event have continued?
@@MarkMcCann64 they are scams then they are daylight robbery, Jesus Christ. How does he get away with that? Hope the rally car is alright seemed a bit off I’m kicking you out i’ve just had to rescue my greenhouse fun fun fun in the British summertime love your content😎
Honestly the worst thing about GW is the cost of food and drink, same as all stuff like this. Just traders taking the piss. Even the trade stands are overpriced tbf too, shame really.
@@tehwabbbit I imagine GW charge an outrageous sum of money to be a vendor or to have a Trade stand at the FoS.. So prices are probably more expensive to offset the cost it took to secure the position of being the vendor.
@@shona5512 oh I don't doubt that, same as festivals, it's all money grabbing. If you want something often easier to take note of the seller and buy it from them online or something!
Goodwood shoulda put this out as an official 'why we cancelled today' vid on their site. Great video Mark, loving the banter and fly on the wall content. Channel going from strength to strength.
@@latbeast I'm sure you realise it takes a LOT of money to keep that estate running throughout the year, much like places such as Blenheim Palace, without income from events like this the places would quickly become unkempt and unsuitable for use. Look how many thousands of manor houses and historic buildings that have fallen into disrepair over the last 30 years. Still, I don't feel like ANYWHERE should be charging SEVEN QUID for an ice cream.
thankyou for your coverage of the fos i use to work there in 98 and know how much preparation goes into this event sorry for all those that only had saturday tickets
Really good of you to spare a thought for the traders there and explain the effect on them this closure today will have. I spent 17 years trading music festivals in and around the UK, the general public have little to no clue of how it all works...... It was the right call by Goodwood though.
I was there Thursday and due to go back Saturday. We were gutted for us, the organisers, the traders, the drivers. Everyone involved has lost money from trading or cancelled hotels. Such a shame.
Thanks Mark for making this video. I would to hate to think how much the overall value off cars are at Goodwood festival of speed. And with so many tents and temporary structures that could easily blow away.
So... Sunday has arrived. How bad was the wind, and was it really necessary to spend all that time and money to remove everything? This may well be a great example of issues that will arise because of the Met office's attitude to bigging up any weather that is even remotely abnormal. The simple question is... was this necessary ? Massive disruption and cost incurred.
how that flipping door didn't take that blokes arm off slamming shut at 10:06 I don't know .. lucky man that would have left a mark, keep up the content shame about the shutdown for the day but glad it was back for Sunday looking forward to the next uploads
Hello mate, I was marshalling on the event. To be fair it was fair point for the organisers to cancel saturday, but surely there could have been something done (not sure though what), we do marshal and camp in far worse conditions and still crack on
very sad news i went on friday and saw your lambo in the supercar paddock couldnt believe it i found you through whislin diesel but now i watch you all the time
It was mental. I live nearby, my brand new door, just had it fitted it last week, was blown out of my hands . Crap all over the garden. Neighbours shed roof was blown off. Hopefully most of the cars are fine. Absolutely did the right thing.
What a shame about the winds. Hope everything is still intact !?! I came across your Chanel when I found your Gumball 3000 film. Great by the way. You come across as a proper decent bloke who loves cars. Looking forward to more content. Keep up the good work Mark (& team). 👍😃👍
Drove down from Wolverhampton to Brighton on Friday ready for the Saturday. Gutted we didn’t get to go or see you taking Ken Blocks legendary car up the hill! Definitely gonna be there next year!!
Thanks for making this video! Absolutely gutted today was cancelled as only had Saturday tickets. Glad we found out before making the drive from Leicester though at 3am. Good to see the extent of their precautions though. Hope everyone's motors are good in the morning. Guess I'll spend my refund on another track day instead 😂
Thank you for watching, yea it would suck if you drove 4h and got turned around however no doubt somebody didn’t check their emails and fell into that trap
I also only had tickets for Saturday. However travelled up from South Wales on Friday, stayed in hotel then found out it was cancelled when I happen to wake up at 01:00 and checked my phone. Hotel would only give me 50% back for Saturday night when I had to cancel, so with hotel and petrol just over £300 spent to see nothing and 7 hrs driving in heavy rain 😟!
Such a shame about the weather but great video love the seriousness and common-sense outlook with the passion and knowledge of the cars Colin's Subaru 😍 and the bit of humour 🤩🙏 Hope the Fiesta stays safe
Slightly smaller event but cancelled for the same reasons was the RAF Odiham's motorcycle club track day at the base. It would've been impossible to run it.
Good video. But we need a follow up. Did the high winds come or was it just a bust? Did the meteorologists get it right or like most times the hit it only 50/50.
Great to see inside FOS today. I got cancelled too, 2 hotel nights, travel and tickets but fully agree with the decision. Hopefully next year I can get my FOS experience
Thanks for this video because me and 2 friends of mine. Whe had tickets for saturday but went home saturday because it got canceld. But we did not understand why. Because the wind was not that bad when we left. But now i see this video i completly understand it.
Well, you can't blame them for deciding to error on the side of caution. Things getting damaged and money not being made is bad enough but the possibility of people getting hurt and the liability related to that is a good enough reason for me.
I agree. Problem is that Festival of Speed literally did ZERO PR to explain the reality of the situation. If His Grace or representative had done a piece to camera to insert into the UA-cam rerun it would have displayed some sort of concern for the disappointed ticket holders and viewers. Instead they sent out an email or text alert and left us uninformed on the situation.
Great vid mark my brother was going Saturday and lost ££400 in tickets but they are refunding but still it doesn’t cover the losses for the traders good angle to show the audience
I’m hoping there is no damage over night. The wind has definitely picked up over the last few hours. It’s odd seeing the place like that empty. I was there yesterday so going from packed to empty is strange. It would be interesting to see the mornings outcome and hope that beemer is still on top of the M stand 😊
8:51 I got sent away last night because the camping was full so this is the first time ive seen my car and stand so glad to see its all good and not destroyed 🤣🤣
We were there on Thursday and there was a constant stream of helicopters bringing VIPs in. The high winds meant the helicopters wouldn’t be able to fly and the VIPs wouldn’t be able to get to the event because the roads are clogged, so they had to cancel for that reason 😎😉
You can’t compare Ken block and Colin McRae as rally drivers. Block did amazing things for the auto world. Incredible stunts and pioneered whole areas of new car culture. But in terms of proffesional certified world championship driving ability, Colin McRae was something else entirely. With a dew respect Block would have been left in his mud trail.
Having been to FOS several times, sadly not this year, but the stands are a bit make shift it has to be said. Perfectly fine in the summer, which it’s meant to be lol. So I can understand the cancellation, it’s not worth the risk of structures collapsing on people. And the number the event attracts that’s a BIG risk.
The brick wall has only stood for over 100 years and all of a sudden it’s gonna fall Saturday night. Hilarious. Maybe Russia is going to attack or better yet even Germany.😅😅
@@MarkMcCann64 Yeah its only worth what someone is willing to pay for it. I am sure its been at auction before and not got to the reserve. You could get it for 500-600k, But I been wrong before. Keep up the good work Mark
Everyone loves Colin's Subaru and I was a big fan and in those forests kipping in the boot of the Estate car overnight ready for the first stage (still dark). Air horn well and truly blasting, and I was lucky enough to be on the final stage of rally GB 1995 in the last 1k of that final stage (well we planned it this way).
Gutted to hear it got cancelled!

The wind was so bad in Chichester today, a few of my plastic garden chairs got blown over, such devastation, but I will rebuild.
thankyou for your coverage of the fos i use to work there in 98 and know how much preparation goes into this event sorry for all those that only had saturday tickets
The prep that goes into FOS is amazing you can feel how well run the event is when you’re there, sadly we can’t fully predict weather

It’s no different planning an event in the Midwest. USA. you buy tickets months in advance. But the weather can turn in the last 48 hours.

We need an ‘after the storm’ video now. See how bad it actually got. Fingers crossed all the cars are safe and more importantly nobody gets hurt.

Great video mate been there the last 2 days and good to see the massive amount of work they have had to put in to keep everything safe.

enjoyed my 25th annual visit !

Great video Mark. To see what it was actually like instead of people on Facebook moaning. We were gutted it was cancelled, but roll on next year!
Same, devastated, but you can see the reason. Thank you
It wasn't particularly windy, it didn't even close our open-air market.
Was it that windy there in the end? We don't live far from goodwood and I would say Sunday was worse?
Great to see inside FOS today. I got cancelled too, 2 hotel nights, travel and tickets but fully agree with the decision. Hopefully next year I can get my FOS experience
So was Saturday a storm in a t-cup??
The video we all needed today. Good to see a bit of Goodwood content.
Terry in the house!
Thanks for this video because me and 2 friends of mine. Whe had tickets for saturday but went home saturday because it got canceld. But we did not understand why. Because the wind was not that bad when we left. But now i see this video i completly understand it.

Just a quicky mark
Do/ would you ,have been paid an apperance fee for entering and driving the hill, or do you have to pay for the privalige?
Probably had to pay

ROT80X was looking suitably dirty in the car park yesterday 👍
4:08 I have never seen anyone get run over by a stationary car before 🤣
What the, happened there like 😂
Did the winds come?
Thought I had missed the weekend and it was 6 o'clock Tuesday 😂😂
Really good video Mark - Thank you for the context
i live in lincolnshire and the wind right now is unreal.
4:36 - this man just skipped over the iconic 205 t16 like its a side character, put some respek on that name😭😭
The way that van door just shut 😂

Hopefully we will be able to come tomorrow and see you and the cars in full action!
