In the early years of the Festival, tens of thousands attended over the weekend ; it currently attracts crowds of around 100,000 on each of the three days it is now held. A record crowd of 158,000 attended in 2003, before an advance - ticket - only admission policy came into force ; attendance is now capped at 150,000.

Shortly after taking over the estate in the early 1990s, Lord March ( as he is formally known ) wanted to bring back motor racing to Goodwood Circuit, but did not have the necessary permit to host a race there. Therefore, he instead hosted it on his own grounds. With a small selection of entrants made up of invited historic vehicles, the first event that took place on Sunday 13 June proved to be a success, taking in a crowd of 25,000 despite a date clash with the 24 Hours of Le Mans that year. After the first event 's date clash, Lord March would ensure that the event would never be allowed to clash with either Le Mans or Formula One races. In 1994, Saturday was added, making it a weekend event. In 1996, Friday was added, making it a three - day event. In 2010, the Moving Motor Show was added on the Thursday. Features and attractions 1970 Porsche 917 going up the hill at the 2006 Festival of Speed The hillclimb Sébastien Buemi demonstrating a Red Bull RB1 Formula One car at the 2008 Goodwood Festival of Speed The event is classified as a hill climb, and visitors are accorded close access to that part of the track. The track has an elevation change of 92.7 metres, for an average gradient of 4.9 %. The record time for the hillclimb was set in 1999 when Nick Heidfeld drove a McLaren MP4 / 13 Formula One car up the hill in 41.6 seconds ( 100.385 mph ( 161.554 km / h ) ). For safety reasons Formula One cars are no longer allowed to do official timed runs, and will often focus on demonstrations that are spectacular rather than fast. In 2016, to commemorate the 40 year anniversary of James Hunt winning the F1 World Championship, McLaren commissioned a P1 GTR which ran up the hill driven by Bruno Senna. Soapbox challenge From 2000 to 2004 this was a downhill race for gravity - powered cars. Starting from just below the hill - climb finish line, to a finish line in front of the house. It included entries from Cosworth, Prodrive, and other top companies. With some famous riders / drivers piloting them, including Barry Sheene. However, there were frequent accidents. Despite an official cap on the cost of cars, the unofficial costs were becoming too high, so it did not return in 2005. The forest rally stage From 2005 to present there has been a demonstration area for the rally cars at the top of the hill. Initially, in 2005, the track through the forest was widened, and the rally cars ran down through the forest, turned on the tarmac section just outside the wood, and returned up the same track. This meant that the cars could only run one - at - a-time. In 2006, a full forest stage was introduced, designed by Hannu Mikkola this was a complete circuit, with a separate start and finish line at the top of the wood. This allowed the cars to start at timed intervals, allowing many more cars to run. Ever since its inception Southern Car Club have been entrusted with the organization of the rally stage, held under an MSA permit. Supercar run Since 2000, there has been a Michelin Supercar Run ( Formally sponsored by Microsoft Windows and The Times ), for road - going supercars. Since 2014 cars could opt to do a timed run. It is now common for specialty car manufacturers to show off their latest sports model, including newly released mass - produced sports models and working concept models. Cartier Style et Luxe Since 1995 this is an auto show which takes place to the west of the house. It is a similar format to the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance. Entry is usually by invitation, and this provides some leeway as to which type of vehicle can enter, usually resulting in a more varied event than usual Concours d'Elegance. Unlike most concours shows, the Cartier Style et Luxe is judged by a panel of selected judges consisting of celebrities from all around the world to car designers. The Moving motor Show Since 2010, the Moving Motor Show, was added. Mainly in response to the cancellation of the British International Motor Show aimed exclusively for buyers of new cars, allowing them a chance to test the cars on the course. Following its success, it was announced the MMS would return in 2011. McLaren MP4 - 12C at the 2010 Festival of Speed The 2010 event also included the running of the new McLaren MP4 - 12C. The official website lists the Festival of speed dates as the Friday to Sunday, but the weekend tickets for the Festival include a moving motor show ticket. So it 's not strictly part of the Festival of Speed, but it is a part of the Festival of Speed weekend. Other Other popular attractions at the event are the real life replicas of the Wacky Race s cars ( Thursday is now known as Press preview day but still incorporates The Moving Motor Show. ), which serves to provide lunchtime entertainment for the crowds, and the airshows, which usually include the RAF Tornado and Red Arrows, and in 2004 and 2005 a low - flying Boeing 747 ; a low - flying Airbus A380 appeared at the 2008 event. From the festival 's beginning, poster art had been illustrated by renowned motor racing artist Peter Hearsey until his retirement in 2015. In 2016, the poster art was designed by Klaus Wagger, who rose to prominence as a racing artist when he won a competition to design the official poster for Mille Miglia in 2000. In recent years, they have also put on the GAS Arena ( Goodwood Action Sports ) who showcase extreme stunts such as Freestyle Motorcross, BMX and Trial bike Riding Other events The Festival of Speed has a sister event, the Goodwood Revival Meeting. This event, normally held in early September, relives the glory days of the Goodwood Motor Racing Circuit. Incidents There have been two separate fatal accidents at the event. The first was during its inaugural meeting in 1993, when vintage racing motorcyclist Chas Guy was killed in practice following the completion of the course when his Vincent motorcycle developed a steering wobble known as a tank slapper, throwing the rider into a tree. Since then, motorcycles are not timed for their run. In 2000, driver John Dawson - Damer lost control of his Lotus 63, and crashed into the finish line gantry, killing himself and marshal Andrew Carpenter. Another marshal, Steve Tarrant, survived but sustained serious injuries to the lower part of his right leg. Central display Aston Martin set up a central display for the first FOS in 1993. Since 1997, the display erected on the lawn in front of Goodwood House has been designed by the sculptor Gerry Judah. The displays honoured car marques until 2017, when for the first time it honoured a career, that of Bernie Ecclestone.
