Good to Go

Goodwood. Ah, a name that stirs up nuanced emotion in many a motor racing enthusiast. A name synonymous with two things: Speed and the apex of automobile luxury. There’s the Goodwood Festival of Speed, hailed as “the greatest motor show on earth”, where the worlds of Formula 1, MotoGP, endurance racing, and more come together like nowhere else in the English countryside of West Sussex each summer.

Now, a stone’s throw from the most incredible celebration of motorsport is, ostensibly, also where the most significant name in automotive history assembles its coveted fleet of impeccably handcrafted limousines. And right next door to the Rolls-Royce headquarters is the Goodwood Motor Circuit. The latter is where this story begins.

A HISTORIC PILGRIMAGE

It’s certainly both a privilege and a pilgrimage to visit the Goodwood Motor Circuit, which was once the epicentre of British motor racing between 1948 and 1966. The 2.4-mile track is steeped in history, built on land that formed part of the Goodwood Estate, which has been owned by the Dukes of Richmond for over 300 years.
