We thought we’d covered all that the Goodwood Festival of Speed 2011 had to offer. But we were wrong. We’d forgotten Ken Block. We’d given you Claire charging up the hillclimb […]

Chris Evans and the ‘Magnificent Seven’ Ferraris – raising money for BBC Children in Need – arrived at Goodwood Festival of Speed and ran the hillclimb.

A look at the Goodwood Festival of Speed 2011, celebrating 50 years of the E-Type, with a huge PHOTO gallery of the weekend.

Koenigsegg Agera at Goodwood: Up close and personal
The only Koenigsegg Agera in the UK was at the Goodwood Festival of Speed, and we got an opportunity to have a good look round. We have to confess that we have a huge soft spot for the creations of Christian von Koenigsegg. So when we knew that friend of Cars UK Tommy Wareham, purveyor […]

Ferrari are taking the Ferrari FF to the 2011 Goodwood Festival of Speed for its UK debut, together with a Ferrari F1, 458, California and classic Ferraris.
