Une fois de plus, le Goodwood Revival a tenu toutes ses promesses. Ce meeting annuel consacré aux voitures et motos “historiques” a été en tous points conforme à la tradition, dans une ambiance à la fois vintage et glamour, une majorité des spectateurs ayant adopté le dressing code des années 1950. Concours d’élégance, expositions, meetings aériens… il faudrait certainement posséder un don d’ubiquité pour tout voir de cette réunion qui s’étale pourtant sur trois jours. Les photos sont ici.

Sir Stirling Moss a fêté dignement ses 81 ans.
Les GT40 ont été battues dans la Race TT Celebration.
A l’année prochaine…

Une bonne part du gotha des pilotes, toutes époques confondues, était présente à Goodwood, des Champions du Monde de F1 comme Jackie Stewart ou John Surtees, des légendes vivantes comme Stirling Moss, annobli par la Reine d’Angleterre au même titre que Jackie Stewart, d’anciens vainqueurs des 24 Heures du Mans comme Tom Kristensen, Derek Bell, Richard Attwood, Emanuele Pirro, Martin Brundle, Jackie Oliver ou Vern Schuppan, des vainqueurs des 500 Miles d’Indianapolis comme Bobby Rahal, triple Champion CART, des pilotes de tout premier plan à titres divers tels Brian Redman, Nicolas Minassian, Jochen Mass, David Hobbs, Rauno Aaltonen, Alain De Cadenet, Oliver Gavin, Paul Drayson, Jean-Marc Gounon, pour ne citer que quelques-uns de ceux qui se sont expliqués sur quatre roues.

In just two week’s time Goodwood will be marking the important contribution that two British legends have made to the sport of motor racing over the decades when it pays tribute to multiple World Champion John Surtees and the celebrated British Racing Motors (BRM) marque at the 2010 Goodwood Revival (17-19 September).

The Goodwood Motor Circuit has played a significant role in the careers of both racing driver John Surtees and BRM (for which Surtees drove), so it is entirely fitting that their achievements are celebrated with special track parades at the 2010 Revival to mark two important anniversaries.

Le Festival of Speed, c’est ue gigantesque garden party dédiée aux moteurs osus toutes ses formes, puisque le meeting fait la part belle aussi bien à l’automobile, à la moto qu’à l’aviation, sans oublier des concours d’élégance.  Cette année, le thème principal du Festival était consacré à l’Italie, ce qui explique la présence d’Alfa Romeo sur le Central Display. Etaient également mis à l’honneur les 60 an du Championnat du Monde de Formule 1, ce qui explique la large part laissée cette année à la F1 avec la présence notamment de Lewis Hamilton, le soixantième anniversaire également de la fameuse Carrera Panamericana et le cinquantième anniversaire de la course dans les forêts britanniques pour le RAC Rallye.

The Hillclimb is the Festival of Speed’s principal attraction. Taking place throughout the weekend, this challenging white-knuckled 1.16-mile course starts as a tree-lined run through the southern corner of the Goodwood Estate which then turns to sweep past the front of Goodwood House before climbing a steep and narrow Estate road bordered by flint walls and dense woodland groves towards Goodwood’s equine racecourse on top of the magnificent South Downs.

The course rises over 300ft from the start line to the finish, and is very technical and challenging, putting the skills of the world’s very best drivers and riders to the ultimate test of concentration and speed.

100 Years:

Alfa Romeo:

fos2The Earl of March has now confirmed the theme of the 2010 Goodwood Festival of Speed (being held on 2-4 July) as ‘Viva Veloce! – The Passion for Speed’. This theme celebrates Italy’s all-consuming fascination with motor racing, and its global influence on the sport.  From Alfa Romeo to MV Agusta, Ascari to Agostini, and Monza to the Mille Miglia, Italians have raced with breathtaking fervour, inspiring desire and devotion that transcends national identity.
