This year’s Festival celebrated 75 years of the F1 World Championship, and we had the cars and the drivers on hand to celebrate the anniversary of the pinnacle of motorsport. Modern F1 cars like the Red Bull RB7, Ferrari’s F2008, plus the contemporary Hass VF23 and VF24 were on hand to spoil it with the scintillating performance of motorsport’s apex formula.
Stars of the sport took centre stage, with no fewer than seven World Champions on the balcony of Goodwood House recounting their victories, while Damon Hill took his father's BRM P5781 up the Hill. Nicknamed ‘Old Faithful’, it has covered more than 27,000 miles under Grand Prix conditions.
Meanwhile, Williams Team Principal James Vowles used FOS as an opportunity to take the Manthey Racing Porsche GT3 RS, “the best road car currently on sale,” up the Hill.
But the Festival was a celebration of all things motorsport, with a spectrum that ranged from a Renault 5 Turbo performing a snap 360-degree turn, to an emotional Derek Bell arriving at Goodwood House in his Porsche 962. Ford Supervans, Dakar racers, Indy Cars, drift cars, rally cars — you’ll see the lot here.
Away from motorsport, Goodwood was the stage for so many manufacturers to debut their new cars, or give sneak previews of concepts in camouflage with the likes of the Toyota GR Concept sportscar, Honda’s latest hybrid Prelude and Aston’s new mid-engined supercar, the Valhalla, giving the public a taste of their capabilities. Though our award for the most dramatic start off the line has to go to the Lotus Evija, effortlessly spinning all four tyres away from the line.
We haven’t even mentioned the Forest Rally Stage presented by Subaru, interviews with Felipe Massa and Carl Fogarty to name just two, or the Timed Shoot-Out finale. So, there’s not much left to say other than press play and enjoy the highlights from a spectacular four days.
