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. This year's gravity-defying sculpture will celebrate 100 years of one of the automotive world's most historic and prestigious marques: MG. The effortlessly imposing statue, designed by globally renowned sculptor Gerry Judah, will celebrate the evolution of MG, from a pioneering British brand in the 1920s to an electrifying market leader in the 21st Century.
Ballroom Paddock
The Ballroom Paddock, including the Formula 1 Pit Lane presented by Sky, 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.
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?

First Glance Paddock

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.
