What's The Festival of Speed about?
Goodwood Festival of Speed dates: 1, 2, 3 July 2011

The Festival of Speed is the largest motoring garden party in the world – a unique summer weekend that brings together an impossibly heady mix of cars, stars and motor sport ‘royalty’ to create the largest car culture event in the world. Held in the immaculate grounds of Goodwood House, this annual hill-climb event is a true celebration of motor sport and all things automotive.
'No other event combines such a diverse and authentic collection of cars and motorbikes with a star-studded line-up of drivers in one place.'

Goodwood Revival
The Goodwood Revival really is a magical step back in time, a unique chance to revel in the glamour and allure of motor racing in the romantic time capsule of the golden era of motor racing at one of the world’s most authentic circuits.



The Revival is the world’s most popular historic motor race meeting and the only event of its kind to be staged entirely in the nostalgic time capsule of the 1940s, 50s and 60s that relives the glory days of Goodwood Motor Circuit. It is the biggest and best historic motor racing party of the year.
The Revival offers visitors the opportunity to leave the ‘modern world’ behind and join motor sport luminaries including Sir Stirling Moss, Richard Attwood, John Surtees and Derek Bell in an unabashed celebration of flat-out wheel-to-wheel racing around a classic racetrack, untouched by the modern world.

RAJF 2011
So Chichester RAJF is over – until later this year!! We’ve had a great festival, with Katie Melua leading the way.
But the other nights were memorable too. The Orchestra (former members of ELO and ELO II) were terrific, with the RAJF audience singing along to hit after hit. Motown and Beach Boys songs got the crowds singing and dancing during our first week too and there were plenty of other memorable performances.
Now we’re recharging our batteries and starting to think about RAJF 2011.
Summer, music and beer
