Goodwood

 
The words Glorious Goodwood have become synonymous with horse racing on the South Downs. In the minds of motor racing afficionados, they can equally be applied to their sport at the historic circuit at the foot of Trundle Hill.
Closed in 1966, the motor racing circuit assumed a new lease of life in 1998 when the Earl of March, after some huge battles, put on the first Revival Meeting. This was held over three days, with restricted entry to all those cars and motor bikes that had raced at the circuit between 1948 and 1966.

Bentley will unleash some of its fastest and most powerful cars at this year’s Goodwood Festival of Speed in July. The flying Bentleys include the 616 bhp (625  PS) and 202 mph (325 km/h) Continental GT Speed Convertible (the world’s fastest four seat convertible) and two of Bentley’s 2003 Le Mans-winning Speed 8 race cars.


Instantly recognisable with their iconic British Racing Green livery, cars No. 7 and No. 8 secured a famous first and second at Le Mans, and are set to make a special reunion ten years on at Goodwood.  Brian Gush, Bentley’s Director of Motorsport, said:



A special demo version of the highly-anticipated Gran Turismo® Sport game for PlayStation®4 will make a high-profile debut at this year’s Goodwood Festival of Speed (23-26 June). With the game due on sale on 18 November 2016 in the UK (and on 16 November in the rest of Europe), the expected crowd of over 200,000 automotive enthusiasts provides the perfect setting to showcase the latest developments to the award-winning Gran Turismo series that is revving up on PS4™ for the first time.
