London, 17 July, 2023, (Oilandgaspress) – Festival of Speed was the 30th anniversary event and coincides with Porsche celebrating the 75th anniversary of the registration of its very first sports car – the 356.
Porsche fans and owners enjoyed a whole host of action, with the focus on the challenging 1.16-mile hillclimb running through the centre of the venue. One of the many Porsche models mastering its way up Goodwood’s famous hillclimb was the very first Porsche sports car, the 1948 356 No 1. From the other end of the Porsche 75 Years spectrum was the recently announced 718 Spyder RS, which made its global dynamic debut on the Goodwood hill.
Other modern road-going cars to feature on the hill, each inspired by the ethos of Ferry’s original dream, included the latest 911 GT3 RS, the 911 Dakar, the latest version of the mid-engined 718 GT4 RS fitted with circuit-optimised Manthey Kit, and the new Cayenne S.For the fourth time, Porsche was the honoured marque at the Festival of Speed, an honour that includes the construction of a bespoke sculpture outside Goodwood House. Designed by London-based Gerry Judah, this year’s sculpture was made from 50 tonnes of steel and included six cars representing Porsche’s 75 years. These were a 1951 356, the 1960 718 Formula 2, the 1990 962C, the 2009 911 type 997 Sport Classic, the 963 and the latest 911 type 992.
“We’re delighted that Goodwood gave us this brilliant opportunity to share our passion with enthusiasts, Porsche fans and owners here in the UK,” Krishan Bodhani, CEO, Porsche Cars Great Britain, commented.
“Porsche has been one of our most loyal and enthusiastic partners, supporting the Festival of Speed since 1995, and the Revival since 2010,” said the Duke of Richmond and Gordon, host of the Festival of Speed.
