What’s on at the 2021 Goodwood Festival of Speed
This year’s event will be at full capacity, with a wide variety of cars on display.
The Goodwood Festival of Speed is one of the highlights of the automotive calendar, and this year’s event is one of the most hotly anticipated in years, with crowds flocking to Sussex to make the most of a post-pandemic day out.
Last year’s event was canceled because of Covid-19 restrictions, but this year it’s back to full strength with cars on display, running up the hill climb and tearing up the rally stage. Here are a few highlights from this year’s show, taking place between Thursday, July 8, and Sunday, July 11.
Full capacity crowds
Last month, Goodwood got the go ahead for the Festival of Speed (FoS) to be a pilot event for the Government’s Events Research Programme, which looks at how busy events affect the transmission of Covid-19.
FoS is a sell out, which means that the show will be at full capacity across its four days. As part of its pilot event status, there are strict conditions of entry for attendees, who must have proof of a negative NHS Lateral Flow Device taken within the 48 hours prior to entering the event, proof of full vaccination, or proof of natural immunity. Full details of what is considered proof can be found on the Goodwood website.
