The annual Goodwood Festival of Speed and Moving Motor Show are set to be held this year from 30 June – 3 July. Here are some of the planned 2011 highlights.
The 2011 Festival theme is “Racing Revolutions – Quantum leaps that shaped motor sport.” The essence of this theme will run right through this year’s Festival attractions, with racing innovations evident throughout, including developments to engine, aerodynamics, chassis construction, and much more.
A record nine of the current Formula 1 teams are expected to attend Goodwood this year, including the reigning F1 World Championship team Red Bull, along with a number of this season’s top drivers.
Skoda, which marks 110 years of motor sport involvement this year, will be the new partner for the popular Goodwood Forest Rally Stage, which this year is set to attract most of the current WRC and IRC teams, including American star Ken Block in his new-for-2011 Ford Fiesta WRC, plus the British debut of the new WRC Mini Countryman.
Jaguar, the legendary Coventry marque celebrates two important anniversaries at the Festival, the 50 years of Britain’s most iconic sportcar, the E-Type, as well as the 60th anniversary since Jaguar first won at the grueling Le Mans 24 Hours race.
