One month after Ferrari AF Corse’s memorable victory at the 24 Hours of Le Mans Centenary, the Duke of Richmond welcomed drivers Antonio Giovinazzi and James Calado and the #51 Ferrari 499P to Goodwood. Miguel Molina, who drove the #50 sister car, was also present.
Still showing the scars of a gruelling 24 hours, the winning 499P was displayed alongside the 250 TR/58 and the 275P – models that won the French endurance classic in 1958 and 1964 respectively.

The Festival of Speed also paid tribute to Porsche in the marque’s 75th anniversary year. Goodwood’s famous Central Feature showed off emblematic Porsche cars including the 963 Hypercar that is competing in the FIA World Endurance Championship (WEC). Meanwhile, nine-time Le Mans winner and Centenary Ambassador Tom Kristensen took the wheel of the Porsche 917 K that triumphed in 1970.

Lamborghini chose the event to unveil the SC63, the Hypercar with which the Italian carmaker will take part in the 24 Hours of Le Mans, the FIA WEC and the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship in 2024. Visitors had a chance to view the stunning machine throughout the weekend.

The meet featured several cars that competed in the 24 Hours of Le Mans Centenary, including Peugeot TotalEnergies’ Peugeot 9X8, Hertz Team Jota’s Porsche 963, the Glickenhaus 007, the Iron Dames’ Porsche 911 RSR-19 and the Hendrick Motorsports Chevrolet Camaro ZL1.

Four-time Le Mans winner Emanuele Pirro enjoyed a run in the iconic Matra Simca MS670. The legendary French sports car with its unmistakeable V12 engine won the 24 Hours three times in a row, bringing Henri Pescarolo a string of victories shared with Graham Hill (1972) and Gérard Larrousse (1973 and 1974).
