Goodwood Festival of Speed 2013 The First Twenty Years.

McLaren 50 years display

By Pete Austin This years Goodwood Festival of Speed marked the 20th anniversary of the event with many of the favourites from previous years making an appearance. Also being celebrated was the 50th anniversary of both the Porsche 911 and McLaren Racing. The centre piece in front of the house in fact comprised three Porsche 911 models perched high on a steel structure. Did they miss a trick by not displaying these cars in the German national colours of black, red and gold?

Hot weather graced this years event which again attracted huge crowds to what must be one of the best events of this type in the world.

One of the pleasures of the Festival of Speed is seeing drivers reunited with cars that they have been associated © Pete Austin with in the past and this Brabham BMW BT52 Nelson Piquet year was no exception. The immaculate Brabham BT52, recently restored by BMW, was taken up the hill by Nelson Piquet who was World Champion with it in 1983.
