Goodwood Festival of Speed 2017 23

Supercars, stars and quite a few spins, too: this year’s Goodwood Festival of Speed was a cracker.

There was of course, the obligatory supercar shootout, a roster of astonishing metal - including the debut of the mad 691bhp Porsche 911 GT2 RS – and more classic F1 machinery than you could possibly want this side of an F1 season.

Last year’s world champion Nico Rosberg was in attendance, as was the man who took his place for 2017, F1’s newest Finnish superhero Valtteri Bottas (read our interview with the man, here).

Then of course, there was drifting. Lots and lots and lots of drifting, along with a fair few trips into the hay bales – like Pat Doran’s unfortunate spin in a Ford RS200 Evo 2. Ouchy.

Oh, and Ferrari continued to celebrate its 70th anniversary by bringing a truck-load of its most astonishing cars from the warehouse out to play. Bellissima, you might say.

We’ve rounded up some of the action here, so have a click through and let us know what your particular highlight from the weekend was.
