What is the hillclimb?
Winding its way through the centre of the event, the 1.16-mile hillclimb has been the centre of the action since its inception.
Every year, this unassuming stretch of road leading to the top of the Hill is transformed in to one of motor racing's most challenging courses.
For iconic manufacturers, drivers and race teams, it’s a chance to show off their stunning machines and perfectly honed driving skills. But when the stopwatch comes out on Sunday, only a select few will put everything on the line for a shot at glory.

The Goodwood Festival of Speed hillclimb was the narrowest, bumpiest, least grippy course I've ever driven. But I loved it.
The pursuit for glory on Sunday
No more practice. No more preparation. This is the moment where some of the event's greatest drivers show what they can do. World-renowned drivers and cars take turns to set the fastest run they can up the course on Sunday. The big questions this year: who will be fastest and can anyone beat Max Chilton's blistering record of 39.08 seconds set in 2022? Previous entrants include the likes of Sebastien Loeb, Travis Pastrana, Anthony Reid and Nick Heidfeld.
