festival of speed

This year the Festival of Speed will host Four F1 teams: McLaren, Mercedes-AMG, Ferrari and Williams. The teams will arrive straight from the British Grand Prix the weekend before, ready to show off a mixture of current and historic racing cars. The F1 paddock will be open on all four days of the Festival of Speed in 2023, with several teams running cars every day, including Thursday.

Sebastian Vettel will be attending on Saturday and Sunday. The former Red Bull, Ferrari and Aston Martin driver will star on the Goodwood Hill in multiple cars from his own collection including Nigel Mansell’s championship-winning Williams FW14B and Ayrton Senna’s McLaren MP4/8 from 1993, while all weekend there will be a display of his cars in the main paddocks for all to see. Vettel will also spend time talking to visitors about his work advocating for alternative fuels in the motorsport industry. On both days fans will be able to join us in celebrating Sebastian’s career as we host one of Goodwood’s legendary balcony moments.

This year Festival of Speed is celebrating its 30th anniversary. Our theme will be Goodwood 75, as we look back at our threequarters of a century of motorsport history. Porsche is to be the honoured marque, and is celebrating its own landmark: 75 years since the launch of its very first sports car, the 356.
