Goodwood Festival of Speed
The world’s greatest celebration of motorsport and car culture is easily the Goodwood Festival of Speed. Held in the beautiful parkland surrounding Goodwood House each summer. The event schedule has ballooned over the years and now includes the famous hillclimb, soapbox challenge, forest rally stage, supercar paddock, the arena, future lab and much more. Aston Martin set up a central display for the first Festival of Speed in 1993 and it has since become a staple to celebrate the iconic brands and people associated with the wonderful world of cars and racing.
