Goodwood FoS takes place at the iconic Goodwood Estate and is hosted in the peak of British summer, boasting a supercar paddock and F1 pit lane, hosting some of the finest machinery in motorsport.

Last year's edition featured a heavier focus on the pinnacle of motorsport than usual given that reigning constructors' champions at the time, Red Bull Racing, were celebrating their 25th anniversary as a team.

To mark the occasion, stars of Christian Horner's outfit from past and present came together to revel in the modern success of Red Bull, with current F1 lineup Max Verstappen and Sergio Perez present alongside fan-favourite Daniel Ricciardo.

"Individuals, teams, vehicles and championships have always embodied this mindset to push the boundaries of achievement, never more so than in Formula 1, which next year celebrates the 75th anniversary of its World Championship." "Having recently celebrated 75 years of motorsport at Goodwood, we know what a significant anniversary this is for Formula 1, and we’re looking forward to paying our own tribute as part of the worldwide festivities.”
