The annual Goodwood Festival of Speed got underway again this weekend, drawing the attention of motorsport fans worldwide. The event is renowned for its unique blend of speed, history, and famous racing figures coming together for four days of action.
Visitors can look forward to seeing a large contingent of current Formula 1 stars. Alongside active drivers, multiple world champions and racing legends from various motorsport disciplines will also tackle the famous hillclimb.
A key reason for this year's strong F1 representation is the absence of a calendar clash. With no Grand Prix scheduled, several current Formula 1 drivers were free to confirm their participation in this iconic event.
Central to the schedule are the spectacular demonstration runs, where drivers treat the crowd to speed and showmanship. Both modern and classic race cars will be pushed to their limits on the historic hillclimb, guaranteeing unforgettable moments.
