The fastest motor show on the planet? Goodwood Festival of Speed once more played out its trump card as the most moving racing event in the world. The sheer quality of the line-up was once again breathtaking.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just try to add this up in your mind. There is the 20 years of Red Bull Racing as a F1 constructor, with the likes of Max Verstappen, Sergio Perez, Christian Horner, Adrian Newey showcasing the history of the RBs on the drive in front of Goodwood House.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Racing royalty<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Then there was the tribute to Richard Petty, not just NASCAR royalty but an overall racing legend as well. The sight of the Duke (of Richmond) and the King (of NASCAR) together on the balcony of Goodwood House is not one to forget easily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rallymen<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s not just the asphalt heroes. The Festival of Speed<\/a> has a special stage carved out in the woods as well. Carlos Sainz \u2013 here with Ford\u2019s Adrien Fourmaux \u2013 was at hand to demonstrate his new Dakar weapon; the Ford Raptor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Smoking<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For some, the Goodwood Festival of Speed is not so much Kate Bush, as it is Deep Purple. Ferrari\u2019s new British talent Oliver Bearman for instance, seen here laying a strategic smoke screen in the Ferrari SF71H that Sebastian Vettel (actually the big absentee this year) campaigned in 2018. Bearman (19) successfully stepped in for Carlos Sainz Jr at the Saudi Arabian GP this year, scoring points and seeing his drive rewarded with a seat with Haas next season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other highlights were Juan-Pablo Montoya getting back behind the wheel of his Williams FW26, with BMW V10 power. \u201cIt\u2019s stupidly fast,\u201d he smiled afterwards<\/a>. Also noteworthy, Lia Block\u2019s F1 debut in a Williams FW08. Lia Block is the daughter of Ken Block<\/a> and part of Williams\u2019 F1 academy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

130 years of Mercedes in racing<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

130 years in racing makes more sense if you see what that actually stands for. Mercedes brought out a huge selection of its racing cars to emphasize that if there is one brand that has always embraced motorsport throughout its history, it\u2019s this one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Motor show<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

And finally, there is the aspect of manufacturers coming down to the UK to show their new cars on the hill climb. Goodwood Festival of Speed has simply become the British motor show, with Porsche showing the new 911, Red Bull presenting its first hypercar, Mika H\u00e4kkinen driving the McLaren V10 Solus. And so much more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
