The hillclimb
The hillclimb is the centrepiece of Festival of Speed, where vehicles from the past, present and future of motorsport, plus the latest road cars, come together in a truly unique way. With myriad vantage points to choose from, there are plenty of places to watch some of the greatest cars and drivers in action.
Central Feature
Located in front of Goodwood House, the Central Feature has become the defining feature of each year’s Festival of Speed. Designed by world renowned atist Gerry Judah whose range gives the Central Feature a renewed energy each year, as car manufacturers take turns to partner with him and create a truly memorable sculpture. This year's Central Feature will celebrate 60 years of the brilliant British designer Gordon Murray.
Ballroom Paddock
The Ballroom Paddock, including the Formula 1 Pit Lane, is the best place to get up close to current teams and drivers/riders from a variety of championships. You’ll also be in arm’s reach of the Drivers’ Club too – the prime spot to grab an autograph, or pose for a selfie, with the stars and heroes of motorsport. In 2025 the F1 paddocks will be expanded and transformed to accomodate the F1 takeover in celebration of 75 years of the Formula One Constructors Championship.
Cars & Drivers
Each year the most celebrated names in history assemble at Festival of Speed for the ultimate celebration of motorsport and car culture. Quite simply, more famous drivers and riders, from a broader range of disciplines, have been to Goodwood than any other motorsport venue on Earth. Who can you spot among the crowds?
Air Displays
Incredible machines, one of a kind talents and stunning displays are not just restricted to the ground at Goodwood! Festival of Speed attracts some of the world's greatest, bravest and most skilful air display teams, who put on a show each year to help create some of the event's most memorable moments. Previous events have hosted demonstrations from the iconic Red Arrows and The Blades.
Supercar Paddock
The Supercar Paddock is one of the absolute must-see attractions of Festival of Speed. Nowhere else in the world can you see so many of the world’s most desirable high performance cars, on display in the paddock and in action on The hillclimb in the Supercar Run. From mainstream manufacturers to creators of bespoke hypercars, all the major makes and models are represented, in a truly astonishing display of speed and style.
First Glance Paddock
First Glance is where the world’s leading car manufacturers show off their latest products, often using the Festival as the platform to launch them to the world for the very first time. With many cars kept under tight wraps ahead of the event, visiting the First Glance Paddock is essential to see what the future of the motor industry has in store.
Cartier Style et Luxe
The Cartier Style et Luxe is one of the world’s leading concours d'elegance – a celebration of the imaginative and the innovative in automotive design. As well as the jaw-dropping cars on show, the setting, on the private lawns of Goodwood House, sheltered from the cacophony of racing engines, provides a rare oasis of calm, away from the high-octane action of the rest of the Festival.
Forest Rally Stage
Nestled in idyllic woodland at the top of The hillclimb is the Forest Rally Stage. Cutting a path through the trees, on a challenging chalk surface, it is the perfect place to see everything from the birth of stage rallying to the very latest World Rally Championship cars and drivers, all in their natural habitat.
