Foreword This has been a memorable year for motorsport at Goodwood. We have celebrated not only the 25th anniversary of the Festival of Speed, but also 20 years of the Revival and Goodwood Road Racing Club. I am grateful, as ever, for the loyal and enthusiastic support of all partners who have made such a huge contribution to our events.

I hope you all enjoyed the Festival of Speed as much I did. The 25th anniversary was quite an emotional milestone for me, and for those of us at Goodwood who were there at the beginning, on that legendary weekend in June 1993.

I think the Festival truly came of age this summer, all four days embracing the past, the present and the future in a truly electrifying event.

There are so many highlights, so many great memories, from a Festival that looked back over 25 years and, more importantly, took a big step into the future.

For me, FoS has always been about the content, the cars and the bikes, and bringing machinery that has never been seen before. Seeing the Mercedes T80 land speed record car, taking up four paddock shelters, was a big moment and illustrated perfectly what we strive to achieve each year.

Goodwood Festival of Speed

The fans responded enthusiastically to our best ever Future Lab, and to David Mayman with his jet pack, and rightly so.

Mobility, in all its guises, is going through a period of revolutionary change and this will be reflected at the Festival in years to come. While celebrating our own anniversary, Porsche joined the party with both an incredible collection of cars and a stunning central display. The Formula 1 teams were with us again in the middle of their busiest season ever, and 2009 World Champion Jenson Button made his 18th appearance, this time at the wheel of the Honda RA301 Grand Prix car campaigned by the late John Surtees. This kind of commitment has made a significant contribution to the success of the Festival over the last 25 years.

From the heat and dust of the rally cars at the top of the hill – more Safari than Sussex – to the tranquility of the Cartier ‘Style et Luxe’, the sheer breadth and depth of the content was a testament to the way the Festival has developed its appeal to motorsport fans worldwide.

I much look forward to working with you in the years to come.
