The Festival of Speed is held annually in West Sussex, England, and is a multi-day extravaganza that brings together fans from all corners of the motorsport world.

In the early 1990s, Lord March inherited the estate and was keen on reviving the racing spirit at Goodwood. In 1993, he hosted a Sunday event on the estate after being denied permission to hold a race.

What began as a one-day event has grown into a celebrated tribute to motorsport heritage, displaying not only the glorious past but also the exciting present and future.

Once again, F1 will play a central role in the FOS as the sport celebrates its 75th anniversary of the world championship in 2025.

Rally legend Colin McRae will be remembered at the event, with the FOS celebrating his achievement of becoming the first British driver to win the World Rally Championship in 1995 Championship.

A wide array of machinery responsible for game-changing advances in speed and technology will be commemorated, with F1 design legend Gordon Murray and his 60-year career the theme of this year's Central Feature.
