Goodwood Festival Of Speed update

















Goodwood's Festival of Speed is always impressive – but this year seems more so than ever, with over 100 top drivers, riders and famous faces and some epic cars lined up. Star motor sport names include: Lewis Hamilton, Jenson Button, Mark Webber, Nigel Mansell, Ken Block and Leon Haslam. From the world of rallying there's current drivers: Kris Meeke, Dani Sordo, Ken Block, Guy Wilks and Skoda UK Motorsport IRC Rally driver Andreas Mikkelsen and legends Juha Kankkunen, Rauno Aaltonen, Jimmy McRae, Hannu Mikkola and Russell Brookes getting back in their own steeds. Even TV chef and classic car lover James Martin will also be in action on the Forest Rally Stage, which should be amusing. No fewer than eight of the 12 2011 F1 teams are also signed up including: Red Bull, Scuderia Ferrari, McLaren-Mercedes, Lotus-Renault, Mercedes GP, Williams-Cosworth, Marussia Virgin and Team Lotus. And Past Grand Prix winners present at the Festival of Speed will include Sir Stirling Moss, Nigel Mansell, John Surtees, Damon Hill, Jochen Mass, Emerson Fittipaldi, Thiery Boutsen andPeter Gethin, alongside the current voice of F1 on the BBC, Martin Brundle. Le Mans winners Derek Bell, Richard Attwood,Jan Lammers, Andy Wallace and Marco Werner will join a roll-call of other motor sport stars at Goodwood that reads like a Who’s Who of motor racing. The 2011 Festival of Speed will also see "the largest celebration of Indy Cars outside of Indiana to honour the centenary of ‘The Greatest Spectacle In Racing’ – the Indianapolis 500." Looks set to be another classic...
