This year's show will pay tribute to the minds behind the cars.
The Goodwood Festival of Speed will be returning this year with its main theme set to be 'The Innovators – Masterminds of Motorsport,' celebrating the development accolades that have been achieved in the world of motorsport. Everything from the early plane-powered racecars to the ultra-light and focused prototypes of the modern era will be on show from June 23-26, 2022. Just as the Lamborghini Aventador Ultimae made its first public appearance here last year, we expect to see more expensive and exotic metal on show for the first time.
Goodwood says that it will be “celebrating the technical landmarks that have seen the racing automobile develop from crude behemoth to space-age projectile,” focusing on engineering ingenuity in racing and the prospects of the future.
Throughout the weekend, Goodwood promises to not only showcase a series of exciting and special vehicles rushing up the famous hill but also feature notable guests and provide interactive displays that passers-by can engage with. Following on from its debut last year, the Electric Avenue exhibit will be part of the attraction, and Future Lab (an exhibit focusing on the technology of tomorrow) will return for its fifth year.
Other highlights include the Forest Rally Stage, the Michelin Supercar Paddock, a Formula 1 display, the Aviation Exhibition, and a stand from Bonhams Auction. Essentially, there will be something for everyone, no matter their favorite form of mobility.
The Duke of Richmond, host of the Goodwood Festival of Speed says, “This year’s Festival theme – ‘The Innovators – Masterminds of Motorsport’ – allows us to celebrate some of the greatest achievements in history, while also highlighting the event’s evolving focus on future technology.
“Just as race-inspired innovations such as four-valve engines, monocoque chassis and turbocharging have shaped the past and present of the cars we drive in the real world, so electrification, autonomy and other new technologies – the development of which is accelerated by the white heat of competition – will have a profound effect on the future of personal mobility. The Festival of Speed is the only place in the world to bring all these stories together in one place, celebrating the past, present, and future in a uniquely immersive, dynamic way.”
