Goodwood, le festival de l’automobile et des sports mécaniques, the ‘Festival Of Speed’ (FoS), est organisé fin-juin début-juillet pendant un week-end sans Grand Prix de Formule 1. Les visiteurs ont l’occasion de voir une course de côte avec voitures et motos issues de 100 ans de sport automobile et notamment de nombreuses voitures de F1 récentes. L’événement rassemble des personnalités célèbres du sport automobile. Cette année, le festival se déroule de 26 au 29 juin 2014, pour la 21ème édition.
La course de côte annuelle à Goodwood
Le festival de vitesse de Goodwood est une course de côte annuelle qui rassemble de nombreux véhicules de course historiques à Goodwood House dans le Sussex de l’Ouest, compté dans la région de l’Angleterre du sud-est. La première édition s’est déroulée en 1993 à l’initiative de Charles Gordon-Lennox. Celui-ci voulu l’organiser sur le circuit de Goodwood, mais n’ayant pas l’autorisation, le festival se déroule depuis sur ses propres terres.
Festival of Speed – The Beginnings of FoS
What started the Festival of Speed? Watch some of the main people that contributed to its kick start in 1993, talking about the romantic period of Festival of Speed.
Le record officiel de la montée fut établi en 1999 par Nick Heidfeld sur la McLaren MP4-13 en 41,6 secondes.
Goodwood Festival of Speed Course Guide
The Hillclimb is the Festival of Speed’s principal attraction. Taking place throughout the weekend, this challenging white-knuckled 1.16-mile (1 860 mètres) course starts as a tree-lined run through the southern corner of the Goodwood Estate which then turns to sweep past the front of Goodwood House before climbing a steep and narrow Estate road bordered by flint walls and dense woodland groves towards Goodwood’s equine racecourse on top of the magnificent South Downs.
Sebastien Loeb Peugeot 208 T16 Pikes Peak hillclimb Run | Festival of Speed
When the rumour broke that nine-time World rally Champion Sebastien Loeb was coming to drive the Pikes Peak Peugeot at Festival of Speed, a palpable sense of excitement took over. It’s the car Loeb piloted to a new record at the infamous Pikes Peak hillclimb in Colorado last year, and suddenly Festival of Speed fans had a potential challenger to a record that once looked unbeatable.

Lord March and Sir Stirling Moss drive the Mercedes Benz W196 at Festival of Speed 2014
One of the best looking cars at Festival of Speed this year, the Mercedes Benz W196 Streamliner which, somewhat controversially, joined the Grand Prix grid (the domain, usually, of open-wheeled cars) during 1954 and ’55. This rebodied version of the open-wheeled W196 was just part of Mercedes’ domination of Grand Prix racing at the time; both versions of the car were consistently front-running, especially with Sir Stirling Moss and Juan Manuel Fangio at the wheel.
The W196 and it’s Streamliner counterpart were responsible for two of Juan Manuel Fangio’s five F1 Championship victories, crushing their opposition. Sir Stirling was part of the Mercedes-Benz team alongside Fangio in 1955, so the sight of the great man re-united with the car was truly something to behold.
The display was part of celebrations marking 120 years of Mercedes Benz
