Welcome

Greetings fellow automotive enthusiast!

This website is a tribute to what is possibly the greatest “grass-roots” motorsport event in all the world - the Festival of Speed at Goodwood House in the South of England.

The event traditionally brings drivers, race teams and cars from all over the world for a static exhibition and hillclimb demonstration the likes of which you’ve probably never experienced. The show runs over three days in the Summer and is the only event we know of where you can get so close to cars and drivers that you can reach out and touch them.

This incredible event gets better every year we attend, and as such should be on every motorsport enthusiast’s “must do before I die” list - we highly recommend you head over to http://www.goodwood.co.uk/fos/ and see about arranging tickets for the next event.

This site will chronicle our photographs of the Festival since 2003 for all the classes that run up the hillclimb as well as many of the cars presented as static displays. Also on this site, we aim to cover a few motorsports events (both organized as well as informal gatherings) occurring both in the United Kingdom and the United States. Please follow the links above in order to see the photos from both the Festival of Speed as well as the other events we have attended, such as the former Crystal Cove Car Show in Newport Beach, CA the Fifty Years of Classic Team Lotus event at Hethel, Norfolk in the summer of 2004 and the weekly car show (Cars and Coffee) at PAG in Irvine, California.

Due to both the overwhelming popularity of our site as well as our own personal interest, we will be expanding some of the content available on our site. Due in large part to your numerous suggestions, we have been dilligently working to add expanded content ranging beyond our traditional photographic coverage of local car shows, larger industry shows such as the annual SEMA show and indeed, the Festival of Speed in the UK. We will be offering enhanced editorial content profiling companies and products focused firmly on the enthusiast sector of the motoring industry.

Over the past few years of our presence, FestivalofSpeed.net has had the rare opportunity to meet with some of the premiere “niche” automakers, retailers and auto performance companies in the world. Make sure you check out our “Visits” and “Reviews” pages to hear about companies such as Pagani in Italy and Noble Cars in the UK. Additionally, we’ve been busy driving some of the more interesting enthusiast-focused cars available on the market today and aim to continually provide new information and photographs about these vehicles to you, our dedicated readers.

Please feel free to contact us via info@festivalofspeed.net with any suggestions, comments or questions.

Sincerely,

O. Fletcher, J. Morrison for FleMo Photography
