Discover the Goodwood Festival of Speed 2023

The Goodwood Festival of Speed is an annual hill climb featuring historic motor racing vehicles that have been held in Goodwood House, West Sussex, England since 1993. Known as the world's largest automotive garden party, the Festival of Speed is an event that invites spectators to get up close and personal with the cars and stars.

Every year, the festival brings together a blend of cars, stars and motorsport 'royalty' to create the world's most significant car culture event. From the latest supercars and F1 machines to vintage models, Goodwood showcases every element of the automotive world.

The major attraction for enthusiasts is the 1.9 km Hillclimb, where vehicles from various classes, including vintage models, rally cars, and contemporary F1 cars, race for the best time. However, the festival is more than just a Hillclimb - it's a celebration of the history of motorsport and the great personalities who have been a part of it.

One can't overlook the exceptional Goodwood style, a heady mix of glamour and tradition, that adds to the overall exclusivity of the event. The festival’s prominent central display is a focal point of interest, with the display’s theme changing every year to pay tribute to significant milestones in motoring and motorsport.

For those interested in aviation, there's also the 'Aviation Exhibition' showcasing a stunning collection of flying machines.

In addition to all the automotive glory, the festival also offers off-track festivities, including boutique shopping, games for children, and a diverse range of food and drink options.

The event welcomes spectators of all ages, making it a perfect family day out or a luxurious getaway with friends or partners. The level of access given to fans is unmatched at other events, with many of the world's most famous drivers and riders regularly found walking through the event and interacting with fans.
