Goodwood Festival of Speed 2007

22nd to 24th June 2007

The theme for this years Goodwood Festival of Speed is ‘Spark of Genius – Breaking Records, Pushing Boundaries’. Celebrating the brave, pioneering motorsport competitors and land speed record breakers. The Festival of Speed will bring together some of the finest historic drivers, along with current F1 and WRC drivers.

Goodwood is going green

The festival will also see the launch of a new Technology Pavilion, which will focus on the future of motoring and environmental issues. Also there will be a environmentally friendly race with some top motor sport stars who will swap their horse power for pedal power, in an exciting bicycle race. F1 drivers, Jenson Button, Mark Webber and Troy Bayliss have already pledged their involvement to be joined by Olympic medal winning cyclists Jason Queally, Chris Hoy and Rob Hayles.

The Earl of March, the founder of the Festival of Speed and Goodwood Revival is keen on environmental responsibility and Goodwood is home to Europe’s largest self-sustainable organic farm. The 2007 Festival of Speed promises to be the first major public motor sport event in the UK to have a controlled and clearly labelled recycling waste management process on site, which allows the litter of the 150,000 visitors to be sorted into paper, glass, metal and plastic ready for recycling. It is also planned to use bio-fuels to power the 100+ generators that are used on site during the three days, as well as increasing the fleet of bio-fuel-powered tractors managing the land at the event.

The Goodwood Hillclimb

The main attraction of the Festival of Speed is the hillclimb competition, which takes place throughout the Festival weekend on a 1.16-mile course on parkland roads in the grounds of Goodwood House.
