My husband had always said he wanted to go there someday.Goodwood FestivalThis year, 2018, the event is being held over four days, July 12-15.
To begin with, what is the Goodwood Festival...

Racing cars and racing cycles from all over the world gather at this event, which attracts many motorsports enthusiasts. Japanese automobile manufacturers also participate, and the event is covered in automobile magazines.

This Goodwood Festival is aThe 11th Duke of Richmond, an avid English racing enthusiast, revived the circuit built by his grandfather, the 9th Duke.The first race was held in 1993, and since then private property has been opened to the public.A world-class event that brings together old and new racing machinesThe company is in the process of becoming a
Amazing...a circuit on private property.... In Japan, just having a pond in the garden is a mansion, but building a circuit...the level of richness of an English duke is unbelievable.
And at the Goodwood Festival, each year each car manufacturer is featured in a "theme" and a monument is placed at the festival site.This year's theme for 2018 is "Porsche"!
A huge 52-meter-long monument created by British artist Jerry Judah was displayed at the Goodwood House in the center of the venue.

I wonder if Porsche was chosen as the theme because this year is the 70th anniversary of Porsche.

Therefore, we have collected images and videos of Porsches displayed and driven at this Goodwood Festival.
356 is so cute when you see it over and over again. I don't see them very often in Japan.(I, too, have only seen one 356 other than the one on display, which was driven by a person who came to Fuji Speedway).I am still amazed at how many people come to places like this because they are usually running and parked.
And this is precious! 919 Hybrid Evo and 356 together in a dream!

And here is "gt1" seen at the Stuttgart Museum.
A racer was so excited that he posted a picture of it on Twitter. I guess it must be very exciting for the racers to be able to drive this.
By the way, there is also a two-shot of gt1.
