We went along to the 2003 Goodwood Festival of Speed. It is held every year and is motor racing's equivalent of Ascot or Wimbledon, an extravaganza of sound and colour that has been described as 'the garden party of the Gods'. In combination with the rich period theatre of the Goodwood Motor Circuit Revival Meeting, the Festival of Speed ensures that Goodwood is unrivalled throughout the world.
The Festival of Speed is far more than just a hillclimb- it can justifiably claim to be the world’s biggest and most diverse classic motorsports event. It’s the only occasion where you’ll see in action the greatest competition cars and star drivers from the entire history of motorsport - everything from 19th Century steam carriages to current Formula One, fabulous racing motorcycles; 2500bhp Land Speed Record cars alongside engineless soapbox racers; plus motorsport legends like Moss, Surtees, Brabham and Andretti rubbing shoulders with today's hottest properties such as Jenson Button and Richard Burns.
