Norris leads Goodwood's F1-heavy Festival of Speed lineup

The Goodwood Festival of Speed runs July 9-12 with four days of hillclimb demonstration runs and a lineup built around the theme “The Rivals, Epic Racing Duels.” Lando Norris is the headline driver, set to drive McLaren’s MCL60 and make a public debut in the MCL-HY hypercar, while Kimi Antonelli, Pierre Gasly, Franco Colapinto, Isack Hadjar and Yuki Tsunoda are also among the Formula 1 names on the bill.

The event is also presenting a strong showcase for female racing drivers across Formula 1, F1 ACADEMY, Formula E and supercars. Nina Gademan, Alisha Palmowski, Megan Bruce and Chloe Chambers are all scheduled to drive, with Gademan getting her first chance to sample a Formula 1 car in Alpine’s race-winning E20 alongside Gasly on Thursday. Palmowski, who leads the F1 ACADEMY standings, will run her No. 21 car before testing Red Bull Racing’s RB17 Hypercar. Bruce will make her first Goodwood appearance in her No. 4 TAG Heuer car, and Chambers will appear publicly for the first time as Mahindra Racing’s Formula E test and development driver in the GEN3 Evo M12Electro on Thursday and Friday after her first Lamborghini Super Trofeo North America podium.

Goodwood’s wider entry list also includes Mercedes’ Fred Vesti, Aston Martin’s Jak Crawford and Jessica Hawkins, Ferrari’s 75th anniversary showcase, and Williams’ restored championship-winning FW18 for Damon Hill and team principal James Vowles. McLaren will also show historic cars, including the M23 linked to James Hunt’s 1976 title, while the festival lineup features former Formula 1 champions Mario Andretti and Emerson Fittipaldi, Le Mans winners Tom Kristensen and Derek Bell, Valentino Rossi, rally drivers Sébastien Loeb and Sébastien Ogier, and Formula E driver Dan Ticktum with the Gen4 prototype.
