Anticipating future trends is a gift possessed by few. When the young Lord March, now Duke of Richmond, organized the first Festival of Speed in 1993, only he could have envisioned the immense success this way of showcasing automobiles would achieve. At that time, auto shows were a must for manufacturers, and it seemed like nothing would change. However, as we all know, the advent of COVID-19 made the obsolescence of traditional auto shows evident, while brands progressively standardized their models, negatively impacting the passion for this extraordinary invention that revolutionized human life.

The crowd of enthusiasts that enlivened the Goodwood Festival of Speed, held for the first time in 1993, and now one of the most important events of the year for manufacturers.

The Festival of Speed that took place last weekend once again confirmed that car manufacturers go where the crowd and passion are. In the extraordinary noble estate of Charles March, amidst hillclimb exhibitions of modern and classic sports cars, a concours d'elegance, air shows, and celebrations, manufacturers were there with the cars to sell today.
