Goodwood Festival of Speed

Not a race but a garden party with a hill climb through it. Since 1993 the Festival of Speed has sent cars of every era up a 1.17-mile, nine-turn course past Goodwood House, from historic racers to Formula 1 cars and the latest supercars, with a forest rally stage at the top of the hill. It is the broadest event here and the busiest: crowds have run to around 100,000 a day, so traffic on the lanes around Chichester is part of the experience. Classic fans get the most from early mornings beside the hill and time in the paddocks. The 2027 festival runs over four days, July 15 to 18, and early bird tickets are already on sale.
