LEWIS HAMILTON

Unlike Grand Prix circuits, at the Festival of Speed many fans may be able to get up close to Lewis and personally pass on their congratulations to him on winning the British Grand Prix in extremely challenging conditions at Silverstone last Sunday. 

 

One very lucky Festival visitor will have the chance to get extremely close to Lewis, with the unique opportunity to passenger with him as he drives up the Goodwood hill in a Mercedes-McLaren SLR Roadster.  This fortune passenger will be anyone 18 or over that has purchased, or is about to buy, a Sunday ticket to the Festival of Speed.  A ticket stub will be pulled out at random by Lord March, and whoever has the corresponding ticket number will be advised and get top travel up the hill with Lewis Hamilton as his or her chauffeur!

Festival of Speed founder Lord March says, “We are all looking forward to a really fabulous weekend with Lewis here. His Silverstone race was the greatest drive of his career so far, and I am absolutely delighted that he is coming to Goodwood to celebrate this famous victory and join-in the party atmosphere with his fans, especially the lucky winner of the drive up the hill with him.” 

 

To coincide with the appearance of Lewis Hamilton at the Festival, Goodwood has been able to release a few more entry tickets, available strictly on a first-come, first-served basis.  These tickets are available immediately, but are liable to be snapped up rapidly. 

The Festival of Speed’s unique ability to attract the top works Formula 1 teams is one of its key strengths, with six F1 teams confirmed, as listed below.  Nowhere else in the world can motor racing enthusiasts get so close to the latest and greatest cars and drivers.
