The Hillclimb

The most iconic aspect of the Goodwood Festival of Speed. To see cars storming up here is a delight for any motorsport enthusiast.

From Thursday to Sunday it is all about the hundreds of new and heritage cars, which take to the hill in batches that each run twice per day. The most prestigious moment is the Sunday Shoot-out, when the drivers with the fastest times from the weekend compete. In 2016, this included a special BTCC Shoot-out.

Where it all began

The Goodwood Hillclimb is now a key and much-loved part of the international motoring and motorsport world, but who could have guessed that this stretch of driveway on the March family's estate would make such an impact?

Since opening its gates on Sunday 20 June 1993 for the first Festival of Speed, Charles March has established this 1.16-mile course as the platform to show off modern and heritage cars.

Hillclimb history

It takes its roots from a hillclimb event organised by the ninth Duke of Richmond, Freddie March in 1936 for the Lancia Car Club, but its ongoing success stems largely from the eleventh Duke of Richmond's own enthusiasm for cars and that of early supporters.
