The Goodwood Festival of Speed presented by Mastercard hit new heights this year as tens of thousands of spectators flocked to West Sussex this past weekend (July 11-14) for the 2024 edition of motoring’s greatest garden party. 

Bringing together a host of eclectic road and competition cars, legendary drivers, riders and global manufacturers, this year’s Festival of Speed saw the focus on the evolution of the motoring industry, from the days of the ‘horseless carriage’ to today’s sustainable march forward.

As always, a stunning Central Feature took pride of place outside Goodwood House and this year it commemorated 100 years of MG. The incredible sculpture paid homage to the iconic manufacturers centenary, with both the past and future showcased/

Whilst the Central Feature stood tall for all to see, jaw-dropping machinery was around almost every turn with a wave of new cars launched, the Supercar Paddock showcasing exotic machines and Electric Avenue offering a glimpse into the present and future for the automotive industry. 

Red Bull Racing were one of many outfits that had their own celebrations, with the Formula 1 powerhouse marking two decades of competition by pairing a number of iconic drivers with some of their most famous single-seater machines.

Of course, it wouldn’t be the Festival of Speed without a plethora of star names and this year proved to be no different with the likes of Max Verstappen, Sergio Perez, Travis Pastrana, Logan Sergeant and Sir Jackie Stewart being just some of the motorsport royalty that was in attendance.

On the prestigious one-mile Hillclimb layout, all manner of cars and bikes entertained the masses and on Sunday afternoon the all-important Hillclimb Shootout saw Romain Dumas claim bragging rights as he piloted the Red Bull-liveried Ford Supervan to a time of 43.98 seconds.

As always, the British Automobile Racing Club continued its tradition of playing a critical role in the organisational side of the multi-day event too by overseeing driver sign-on and providing marshals and officials.

Boasting hundreds of trade stands, live entertainment, an all-action arena and aerial acrobatics from the Red Arrows – plus much more – this year’s Goodwood Festival of Speed presented by Mastercard could arguably stake its claim as being one of the best yet.
