What is the Goodwood Festival of Speed?<\/p>\n
Every year, motoring fans from across the country gather at the Goodwood Festival of Speed for Britain\u2019s ultimate motoring garden party. <\/p>\n
The yearly four-day-long event celebrates everything that is great about the racing and automotive worlds, bringing together all types of fans, whether you\u2019re into racing cars, supercars, hypercars, tech, speed, or just a day out on the 12,000-acre Goodwood Estate in West Sussex, near Chichester.<\/p>\n
We\u2019ll be there, along with a whole host of other racing teams, automotive brands and tech companies, offering up a unique look at the past, present, and future of the motorsport and automotive worlds.<\/p>\n
The event\u2019s centrepiece is the famous Goodwood Hillclimb, a 1.16-mile-long circuit on which famous names from the world of motorsport take iconic, historic and futuristic machinery for a spin. <\/p>\n
In addition to this, there are garages and static displays for fans to explore, live BMX and motocross demonstrations in the Action Sports Arena, and there\u2019s the famous Goodwood auction, not to mention a family area featuring Scalextric, toy cars, and face painting. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Few events in world motorsport let you get as up close and personal to legendary race drivers and…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":789610,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[441],"tags":[49,48,578,576,577,82],"class_list":["post-789609","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-formula-1","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-f1","tag-formula-1","tag-formula1","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/789609","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=789609"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/789609\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/789610"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=789609"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=789609"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=789609"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
