Squealing tires, roaring motors and the crème de la crème of motorsports: when Lord March opens the doors of Goodwood in southern England to the Festival of Speed, motorsports fans from around the world get their money’s worth. Under the motto, “Peaks of Performance – Motorsport’s Game-Changers” in 2017, the traditional motor show once again presents race cars that have written motorsport history with their innovative construction. And naturally – BMW M leads the pack.

Fans of motorsport history have reason to celebrate this year as well – in action was the BMW 328 Mille Miglia Touring Coupé, which in 1940 raced to victory at the Mille Milglia in record time. Also on hand – the Brabham BMW BT52 from 1983. This was the first car with a turbo engine to win the Formula 1. In Goodwood it was driven by the highly-experienced Riccardo Patrese. His fellow Italian countryman Roberto Ravaglia went to the starting line with the BMW M3 Group A DTM. The DTM champion of 1989 drove the same successful model that won the first Touring Car World Championship in 1987. The BMW V12 LMR brought back memories of its success at the 24-hour race at Le Mans in 1999 – it was driven then by Pierluigi Martini.

Dream Cars.

The Goodwood Festival of Speed attracted numerous visitors for many other reasons as well. A popular meeting point for BMW fans: the BMW M Pavillon exhibited current BMW and BMW M models, for example the BMW M4 Coupé with M Competition Package in Verde Mantis. At “BMW in the Stableyard” you could find classic and exclusive models as the BMW Individual M760Li xDrive. The high-performance sedan showed off its luxurious side and felt right at home on the grounds of the distinguished Lord’s manor.

Close to the stars.
Since 1993, the Festival of Speed has been a Mecca for motorsports enthusiasts who want to experience the history of car racing up close. Motorsport fans from all over the world have been coming here, because in Goodwood they can finally get close to their four-wheeled idols. Free access to the pit lane makes it possible to get a close look at the cars that have set milestones – and even experience them live with their drivers. Full of awe, the spectators watch from the sidelines of the Hillclimb, while racing sport legends like the BMW 328 Mille Miglia – still tireless – fight for the best time. Another master of the Hillclimb – the BMW M4 CS goes head to head with the super cars, the legends of tomorrow. We look forward to seeing you next year.
