GOODWOOD MOTOR SPORT
The Festival of Speed began in 1993, when the Earl of March decided to bring motor sport back to the Goodwood Estate. Goodwood was a well-known Formula One and sports car competition venue back in the 1950s and 60s, but the new Festival would be different - instead of racing around the nearby Motor Circuit (now home of the annual Goodwood Revival), cars and bikes would roar up the 1.16 mile parkland drive, right past Goodwood House, allowing enthusiasts to get closer to the action than ever before. Since then, the Festival has become one of the most prestigious motor sport events in the world, giving fans a unique opportunity to see current F1 teams and drivers, exotic supercars, action sports and celebrities.
