Goodwood Festival Of Speed
Friday - Kicks off the 2010 Goodwood Festival of Speed with a free practice day, a chance for the drivers and riders to familiarise
themselves with the challenging twists and turns of this famously demanding hill climb. The paddocks, filled with mouth-watering machinery,
are the focal point for early visitors, many of whom have travelled across the world to see these rare and beautiful cars. Nowhere else will
you see such a gathering of priceless racing machinery in one place at one time. In the gardens behind Goodwood House the annual
Bonhams’ Summer Sale attracts the high rollers, and the dreamers, to its auction of the rarest and most valuable classic cars. Get your copy
of the souvenir programme and wander slowly around the multitude of exhibitions, galleries and shops while soaking up the intoxicating
atmosphere of the world’s biggest motor racing garden party.
Saturday - The day when visitors get the chance to watch world champions rise to the challenge of setting fastest time of the day on
the hillclimb track that winds its way up from Goodwood House to the crest of the Sussex Downs. At the top of the hill, the World Rally
Championship teams take to the tracks through the forest in a mesmerising display of car control between the trees. In the air, dramatic air
displays thrill the spectator, while down below in Goodwood Park, music plays while families get together to picnic in the stunning grounds of
Goodwood House.
Sunday - Sees the action taking place in earnest against the clock. The spine-chilling shrieks and howls of the latest Formula One cars
bring the crowds to the edge of the track, as the heroes of modern Grand Prix racing come out to play. The fastest drivers on the planet, in
the most sophisticated racing cars ever made, will blow your mind with their skill and showmanship. The fastest cars of the weekend, both
modern and historic, will line up for the ‘Sunday Shoot-Out’ when they go head to head on the hill for the glory of setting the fastest time of
the 2010 Festival of Speed. The day culminates in the Prize Giving ceremony where Lord March awards his much-coveted prizes and
medals as the sun goes down behind Goodwood House. Memories are made of this.
