Goodwood Festival Of Speed's central feature, anyone have a clue yet? I know Audi are sponsoring it this year, it could possibly be something to do with their Le Mans successes, it would be interesting to know.




Whatever the theme, it would be hard to beat last years Land Rover sculpture.

THE WORLDS BEST DRIVERS AND RIDERS TO ENTERTAIN
Fri at 20:14The theme of this year’s Festival is ‘True Grit ­ – Epic Feats of Endurance.’ The theme celebrates the drive and determination of motor racing’s heroes, who overcame huge physical, mental and mechanical barriers in their quest for glory. From Jackie Stewart’s enduring victory at the 1968 German Grand Prix, despite his broken wrist, to Mick Doohan’s courageous return to motorcycle racing in 1992, without full use of his right leg, there are countless amazing tales of performances far beyond what was thought possible for any human being. The 2009 Festival of Speed will celebrate their unrelenting true grit and the legends born from it.



The list of competition drivers and riders due to appear at this year’s Festival of Speed is expected to read like a who’s who of motor sport champions. Current F1 stars, including Lewis Hamilton and Jenson Button, will rub shoulders with the big names in WRC, World Superbikes, NASCAR and many other motor sport categories, including Mark Webber, Allan McNish and David Coulthard. Father’s favourites like Sirs Stirling Moss and Jackie Stewart will join legends such as Jacky Ickx, Damon Hill, Rusty Wallace and Hannu Mikkola.



With over 350 vehicles entries, and 90 top drivers expected, the Festival of Speed will have something for everyone:



  • Racing cars, spanning the decades from early Edwardian racing pioneers, through to current F1 cars, not forgetting legendary Le Mans endurance racers, throaty CanAm cars, current Supercars and a wealth of motorcycles
  • World rallying heroes going sideways on the exciting Goodwood Forest Rally Stage
  • Stunning ‘central display’ featuring 100 years of Audi
  • Cartier ‘Style et Luxe’ automotive design competition, including a dedicated class of special Bugattis, Rolls-Royce, Minis and custom chopper bikes.
  • An air display featuring the Euro Fighter
  • The FoS-TECH technology pavilion, with plenty of exciting new concept cars, many making their world debut

So what you waiting for??
