Automotive events that are all about fun and delivering a killer experience are rare and special. Most stuff with cars, especially the fast ones have lots of rules and regulations. The Goodwood Festival of Speed has them as well but the people who come to the race are not hemmed in or restricted by them. Those people are there to laugh, smile, gawk, and be surrounded by the world’s best cars.
This video is cool because it shows off the fact that more often than not, you have no idea what’s coming around the corner next at the event. The pre-war Alpha Grand Prix car is amazing but to see it driven like it was intended to be driven is amazing. Conversely, to see a Rolls-Royce SUV driven how it is not supposed to be driven may be even more epic.
Goodwood is further proof that people like to see as much of this automotive world as they can in one sitting. If this were a race proper we’d see a handful f classes and then the action. Here we see cars, beauty, and power. No two are aline.
