| Goodwood’s relaxed ‘garden party’ atmosphere attracts many of motor sport’s biggest names, both past and present, to come and enjoy a fun weekend of driving, free from the pressures and hassle so often experienced elsewhere. The Festival of Speed paddock is possibly the only place in the world where you can approach, talk to and seek autographs from more than 50 world-famous drivers and personalities without encountering frustrating restrictions such as barricades, obstructive minders and unwilling, reclusive stars. Visitors to Goodwood have traditionally treated the drivers with courtesy and respect, therefore encouraging them to interact with the public in a uniquely informal, friendly and patient manner. Nowhere else are you more likely to come face to face with your motoring hero and chat as if you were friends. |
