Lord March has announced that the dates for the 20th Goodwood Festival of Speed will be June 28–July 1, with the event’s theme of “Young Guns—Born to Win” celebrating all those “overnight sensations” whose insatiable thirst for speed immediately earned them a place in the sport’s pantheon of stars. The Festival will also mark the 60th anniversary of Lotus Engineering with a spectacular assemblage of Colin Chapman’s creations.
“I am really looking forward to having so many great cars and drivers here at the Festival of Speed to celebrate our 2012 ‘Young Guns’ theme,” said Festival founder Lord March. “For me it is always magical to see so many of the world’s greatest drivers, riders and machines in action.”
Among the other events on the docket will be the Cartier “Style et Luxe” concours d’elegance, featuring some of the most stylish vehicles ever designed, and the Moving Motor Show exhibition where attendees can see and try out the latest in road cars. As is customary, admission to the Festival will be by advance ticket purchase only, details of which can be found by visiting www.goodwood.com/motor sport.
