Porsche will be the honoured marque at this year’s Festival of Speed (12 – 15 July). Porsche cars will adorn the iconic Central Feature for the third time in the manufacturer’s long relationship with Goodwood, making them the first marque to take this honour. This will form part of the 70th anniversary celebrations of the iconic 356 – its very first sports car.

And, my info is that the new Speedster will be there. It’s effectively their 70th Anniversary car. Fortuitously, my tickets were already booked months ago.
