I know it’s far away, but it’s always well worth the effort. I’ve been twice to Goodwood, and yes, it’s so close to France that you can smell the garlic wafting across the Channel. If it bothers you, take a clothes peg!
Taking star billing at this year’s event from June 28 to July 1, will
be Mercedes-Benz.
Marcus Breitschwerdt, President and CEO, Mercedes-Benz UK, has also promised a few extra surprises: “We celebrate 60 years of our SL-Class with the latest model arriving in the UK just in time for the Summer. There will also be plenty of new delights to see, in what is a very busy year for Mercedes-Benz in the UK.”

The theme for this year’s Festival is ‘Young Guns – Born to Win’
with the company bringing more than its fair share of young guns to prominence
through the years, most recently Michael Schumacher and Lewis Hamilton.

One of the Mercedes-Benz ‘fin-tail’ saloons from the early 1960s,
the W111 220 SE of 1963, will also tackle the course as will a 1997 CLK-GTR FIA
GT racer.
The driver line-up is expected to include Klaus ‘King’ Ludwig, Jochen
Mass, Bernd Schneider and our own Paul Stewart - Jackie’s boy!
Alongside the racers will be a slevveritious selection of current
road going stuff including an SLS AMG Roadster, C 63 AMG Coupé Black Series,
CLS 63 AMG and an SLK 55 AMG plus the outrageous ML 63 AMG. Just make sure the
wife doesn’t let you take the credit cards with you.
