This year’s event, held on June 23-26, will see a celebration to mark the 30th anniversary of Nigel Mansell’s Formula 1 world title: one of Britain’s ultimate grand prix heroes will be piloting his championship-winning Williams FW14B up the famous hill climb outside Goodwood House to mark the occasion, and he will also be behind the wheel of his Ferrari 639, 640 and Lotus 91.

That’s not all though – the Duke of Richmond will also be hosting Jackie Stewart, Jenson Button, Damon Hill and many more motor sport legends, all getting behind the wheel to drive some of racing’s most iconic cars.
