2022 Goodwood Festival of Speed to celebrate automotive innovators

This year's Goodwood Festival of Speed will run in June with the theme ‘The innovators – masterminds of motorsport,' according to the esteemed event's organisers.

As usual, some of the greatest new supercars will be on display, with some running up the hill, possibly including the all-new Gordon Murray T.50. Meanwhile, this year's theme will celebrate "the technical landmarks that have seen the racing automobile develop from crude behemoth to space-age projectile."

Essentially, there will be displays showing stories of engineering ingenuity and pioneering new technologies set to impact the next generation of motion and mobility.

"This year’s Festival theme – ‘The Innovators – Masterminds of Motorsport’ – allows us to celebrate some of the greatest achievements in history, while also highlighting the event’s evolving focus on future technology," adds founder of the Festival of Speed, the Duke of Richmond.

"Just as race-inspired innovations such as four-valve engines, monocoque chassis and turbocharging have shaped the past and present of the cars we drive in the real world, so electrification, autonomy and other new technologies – the development of which is accelerated by the white heat of competition – will have a profound effect on the future of personal mobility."

There will also be the 'Electric Avenue', which was first opened for 2021's festival and is a showcase of the latest electric vehicles and concepts.

While it is not confirmed if Gordon Murray's new hypercar will make an appearance, Goodwood has referenced electric supercar-maker Rimac alongside Ferrari and BRM, suggesting a display will make its way to the paddock with select models being driven up the hill for Sunday’s Shootout, when the event is held this year from June 23-26.
