Save the date July 2-5, this is when The Earl of March will open up the picturesque surrounds of his family home, Goodwood House, and turn it into the Festival of Speed, a motorsport and automotive lovers Nirvana.

With a history steeped in a passion for motorsport dating back to the 1930s, Goodwood is the place to go to experience the best of the best; the best cars and motorbikes, both historic and cutting edge. If that wasn't enough, a star studded line up will accompany the machinery, with past legends such as Sir Jackie Stewart and Sir Stirling Moss, to current favourites Jenson Button and Mark Webber also in attendance.

'Viva Veloce – The Passion for Speed' will be the theme for this years event, celebrating 'Italy’s all-consuming fascination with motor racing, and its global influence on the sport.' Look no further than the sheer amount of Ferrari red that floods Formula One crowds and you are just scratching the surface of that passion.

In addition to the infamous hillclimb, the Festival of Speed (FOS) will include a loose-surface Forest Rally Stage, the high-speed Sunday Times Supercar Run, the Cartier ‘Style et Luxe’ concours d’elegance, the FoS-TECH technology pavilion and the debut of the Moving Motorshow on the Thursday prior to the event.

Over ten different types of motorsport and twenty four car manufacturers will be represented, sixty years of Formula One and the Carrera Panamericana road race will be celebrated, with a countless number of racing car drivers, riders and celebrities enjoying the festivities.
