“No car fan can resist its charm…”
For true car fans, the name Goodwood must be familiar. This small town in southern England is where Rolls-Royce is produced, but what really makes it famous around the world is the car rally held here every year-Goodwood Festival of Speed(Goodwood Festival Of Speed).
As the world’s largest and most “trenched” car rally, its status in the eyes of car enthusiasts is even higher than that of any major car show in the world. Although this exhibition also has a certain purpose to promote “business”, but compared to the new car show, Goodwood is more to review legendary cars/racing cars to car fans and car collectors. There are countless world-famous cars and legendary racing cars that go to Goodwood Manor every year. It is precisely because of this that no matter what era you were born in, you can see the real “magic car” in your heart here, and you can even witness the moment they fly past your eyes with your own eyes.

Due to the raging new crown, this year’s Goodwood Festival of Speed was forced to cancel. But even if it is just a recollection of the past festival of speed, I believe it will be enough to open the conversation of many hardcore fans. Today we will talk about this car festival called “Good Wood Exhibition”.

From the scale and lineup of the Goodwood Festival of Speed, it is not difficult to find that this car event is closely related to racing. The Goodwood Festival of Speed did originate from motor racing, but many people don’t know that it is actually a “masterpiece” of the gentry’s whim.

As the participating vehicles are getting faster and faster, the danger of this event has slowly begun to increase. For safety reasons, the Duke announced the suspension of the event in 1963.
