Goodwood Festival of Speed 2006

The Goodwood Festival of Speed, held on 7-9 July at Goodwood House, Chichester, is now firmly established as the world's greatest celebration of the history of motor sport. The theme of this year's event was 'Racing for Glory - a Century of Grands Prix' which celebrated one hundred years since the very first Grand Prix, a century since the first Targa Floria Sicilian road race and forty years since the great TransAm and CanAm series were founded. No other motoring event can match the unique combination of more than three hundred vehicles and almost one hundred motor racing heroes, blasting up the drive of one of England's most revered stately homes.
