Just
in time for Christmas, and launched to coincide with the next
summer’s 20th
anniversary Festival, Goodwood is proud to announce a new book, plus
a two-disc DVD, to mark the best of the first two decades of this
event.
Since
its first running in 1993, the Goodwood Festival of Speed has
established a reputation as the world’s greatest celebration of
motor sport history and culture. Every summer, the great and the good
of motor sport past and present descend on West Sussex for three days
in automotive heaven.
Chapter
by chapter, the new Goodwood Festival of Speed book charts the
event’s first 20 years, through 360 richly illustrated pages,
portraying fabulous shots of the Festival, alongside archive images
of all the great cars and motorcycles, drivers and riders in their
prime. Also included are 20 appendices, playfully representing the
event by genre, whether it’s a comprehensive list of supercar
debuts, or images of the famed Central Features by night. All in all,
it is the ultimate pictorial review of the Festival of Speed.
The
new Festival of Speed book is available from 7 December at £45 per
copy. The book can be pre-ordered immediately either on-line at the
Goodwood website (http://shop.goodwood.com/products/) or directly via
the Goodwood Motor Circuit-based shop, which can be contacted via
telephone on 01243 755098.
To
accompany the new Goodwood book, a celebration two-disc DVD box set,
with extensive footage highlights for each of the first 20 years of
the Festival of Speed, is also being launched at £40 per copy. The
DVD is also available from the same channels as the new Festival
book.
The
2013 Goodwood Festival of Speed will take place on 5 - 7 July, with a
theme celebrating the best of the first 20 years of this, the world’s
most popular motor sport and car culture event. Next summer’s
Festival will focus on highlights from the Goodwood event’s
glittering history. The biggest, best, fastest, loudest and most
outrageous vehicles of all time will be invited back to West Sussex
for a weekend not to be missed.
Star
cars and motorcycles, plus drivers and riders from each of the
world’s major motor sport disciplines, past and present, will be
featured at Goodwood, including champions from Formula 1, Indycar,
the World Rally Championship,
Superbikes,
NASCAR, World Sports Cars and Touring Cars.
Goodwood
plans to recapture many of the outstanding Festival of Speed moments
from the 1993-2012 era, whether that’s great cars from the USA and
elsewhere making a rare return to the UK; or famous car/driver
pairings reunited.
All
this, along with a host of vehicles and competitors new to Goodwood,
and a number of unexpected treats, will provide a fitting birthday
party for the world’s greatest celebration of motor sport history
and car culture.
