The Goodwood Festival of Speed has its roots in the early 1990s and is the vision of Lord March. 

Lord March, also known as the Duke of Richmond, wanted to revive motor racing at Goodwood. However, reopening the Goodwood Circuit, which had been closed since 1966, proved to be a difficult task. Instead, he came up with a new concept: a celebration of motor racing history on the grounds of the estate itself. 

Ducati’s Diavel has been with us for over 10 years now. 

In those 10 years I'venever ridden one, it's a bike that hasn't particularly caught my eye much, but I recently had the chance to have the new 1260 S on test so I thought I’d give it a go and see what all the fuss was about. All of the reviews I read have praised the Diavel so I must be missing out, let's see what it's all about.
