2009 will be Hamilton's third visit to Goodwood
Both Lewis Hamilton and Sebastien Loeb will be among the motorsport stars at this year’s Festival of Speed, the first time in the festival’s 17-year history that two current world champions will line up to run up the famous hill.
Hamilton is set to run both Ayrton Senna’s legendary 1988 championship-winning McLaren MP4/4 and his own McLaren MP4-23 from 2008.
Loeb, who is appearing at the Festival of Speed for the first time, is expected to be driving this year’s Citroen C4 WRC car, both on the forest rally stage and up the hill.

Rumours suggest that Loeb may also drive the Citroen GT supercar concept up the hill. However the GT, which also features in Gran Turismo 5, isn’t yet confirmed as running, though it will at least be on display.
Other driver and car highlights include Rally legend Walter Rohrl in a Pikes Peak Audi Quattro S1, Jackie Oliver in a Gulf-liveried Porsche 917K, and NASCAR racer Mike Skinner in a Toyota NASCAR.
