Extra Info
Thursday 11th July – Sunday 14th July
Goodwood Festival of Speed is the ultimate petrol-head’s garden party. Since 1993 this festival has been redefining what a car event should be.
Getting There
By Road
The Goodwood estate is just North of Chichester and is well signposted. The event organisers worked hard to plan the traffic flow and visitors are asked to ignore their Sat Nav and to follow the appropriate signposting.
By Train
Chichester is the closest station. If you wish to travel by train, you will need to either acquire a taxi for the final leg of the journey, or you could take the 902 bus which runs every 30 minutes from 0700.
By Air
Prior permission to land is required as the airspace and aerodrome will be a lot busier than usual. It is essential that you obtain this as they will not accept traffic that is not pre-booked
Dress Code
This is an outdoor event and guests are asked to prepare accordingly (i.e. bring some lightweight wet weather clothing). If you are attending one of the corporate hospitality pavilions you are asked to dress in a smart-casual fashion.
Timings
There are a variety of events taking place over the 4 days of the festival; such as the woodland rally stage, the off-road displays and air shows. The exact timing of these is confirmed closer to the time of the festival. However, there is no denying that what Goodwood is most famous for is the hill-climb. Thursday see the production road models battling it out, Friday has the fine cars of the past present and (maybe) future, Saturday has the celebrity appearances, demonstrations (F1 cars can no longer set times on the hill climbs) and more unusual hill-climbs. Sunday is when the Hillclimb Shootout takes place to find out who will be crowned Champion of the Festival.
