The Goodwood Festival of Speed hillclimb is a short, muddy, English masterpiece

The Verge:

The starting line is just ahead of us, and the guy behind the wheel of this 650-horsepower muscle car is showing off for the crowd. We’re spinning the tires, doing burnout after burnout. Ostensibly it’s warming them for a quick blast up the 1.16-mile hill climb, but really it’s to show off. This is what the Goodwood Festival of Speed is about.

It’s glorious. And I think I can safely say that this event, held every year in the south of England, is the greatest car show in the world. I’ve been to a lot of car shows, and none of them are like this.

Goodwood is high on my automotive bucket list.

  1. I’m lucky enough to have attended FOS on numerous occasions – it truly is one of, if not the, best petrol head experiences in the world. Having an F1 car do doughnuts and stop starts right in front of you is mind blowing. The noise.

  2. Google is paying 97$ per hour! Work for few hours and have longer with friends & family! !mj63d:
