If you thought Goodwood was just about cars, think again. 'Jet Pack Man' is a firm favourite among fans at this year's Festival of Speed
Slide of

The McLaren F1 is a Goodwood staple. The F1 GTR, even more so. This F1 GTR Longtail could well be the ultimate F1 at Goodwood
Slide of

That's one way to give a Porsche 964 boxy styling - build it with toy blocks
Slide of

Again, the reminder that 'speed' doesn't just apply to road vehicles
Slide of

Apollo's 769bhp provides as much audible drama as it does visual drama
Slide of

This is not just a Dodge Viper. It's Dean 'Karnage' Kearney's 1150bhp drift-honed Viper. We caught a rare sighting of it not shrouded in its own tyre smoke
Slide of

Didn't you hear? The Toyota Supra has been taken up the hill in near-production guise. Under that camouflage will be the fastest production Toyota in 16 years.
Slide of

BMW's in on the act, too - the first 8 Series in the UK is its Goodwood car, a few months before deliveries start in September
Slide of

Porsche 911s at Goodwood are numerous, so it's only the special ones that really make a splash. Like the 911 SC Paris-Dakar. Think of it as a precursor to the Cayenne...
Slide of

The Festival of Speed turns 25 this year, so naturally, it's a year of celebration. The firework budget alone was immense
Slide of

Some would call it the Porsche 911 RSR. Those in the know call it the Pink Pig, affectionately of course
Slide of

Classic Jaguars are a staple at Goodwood
Slide of

Who says wings go on the back of cars? This Porsche says otherwise
Slide of

This Cadillac is ready to be judged by the Cartier Style et Luxe jury. It's immaculate inside and out
Slide of

...told you so
Slide of

The Cadillac is far from the oldest car on display though
Slide of

Once the butt of jokes, now a bona-fide classic. This Citroen 2CV Azam is also up for judging at Cartier
Slide of

...as is its van sibling, the Fourgonnette
Slide of

The 2CV Sahara could be seen as the first Citroën SUV - it's a serious off-roader, with two engines providing four-wheel drive
Slide of

Sebastien Ogier's Ford Fiesta WRC looks a little out of place on hot tarmac, doesn't it?
Slide of

This Jaguar Mk2 is one of many at Goodwood - the XK has an even greater presence though, as Goodwood celebrates the XK's 70th birthday
Slide of

The Morris Mini Cooper S isn't the quickest car here (by a long, long way). We'd put money on it having more fans than many of the hypercars on display, though
Slide of

Matt Neal's Honda Civic Type R is here. It's won six teams' championships in its short lifespan so far
Slide of

Richard Petty's 1972 Dodge Charger makes an appearance, wearing its STP oil livery
Slide of

Little wonder why rally's legendary Group B has such a following, even to this day. This Audi Quattro S1 had its wheelbase shortened by 320mm to hone it for the dirt
Slide of

Stunt driver Terry Grant demonstrates exactly why he's here
Slide of

Antonio Giovinazzi's Ferrari 488 GTE did battle in the GTE-Pro championship
Slide of

Not seen the Aston Martin Vantage yet? Take a look at the car in its ultimate form - the V8 Vantage GTE
Slide of

Jaguar's F-Type GT4 makes a dramatic start up the hill
Slide of

The Renault-Alpine A442B doesn't look like any Renault or Alpine you'll see today
Slide of

Shelby American Cobra Daytona Coupe. Now there's a name to live up to
Slide of

We can think of far worse places to stand. The noise (and heat) is pretty overwhelming this close up
Slide of

Siemens' autonomous Ford Mustang may have had a hiccup yesterday, but it's still drawing plenty of interest today
Slide of

Online editor Rachel Burgess is having a ride in it too
Slide of

There they go, with a monitor in the driver's seat, just in case.
Slide of

The Fiat S76, or the 'Beast of Turin' as it's known, is one of the oldest cars here, at 107
Slide of

The Napier Railton Special holds the Brooklands lap record. That's an accolade to keep hold of
Slide of

Legendary racing driver Nuvolari took the Alfa Romeo P3 to victory at the Nurburgring
Slide of

An eight-cylinder supercharged engine took the Mercedes-Benz W125 to victory in the 1937 Grand Prix.
Slide of

60hp from a four-cylinder engine might make this one sound on paper like a modern econobox, but the 1903 Mercedes 60hp Simplex is anything but. It's a Goodwood veteran
Slide of
Slide of

The Aston Martin DB3S might bear the company's hallmark colours, but it's a long shot from the company's current lineup.
Slide of

The winner of the 1964 Italian Grand Prix. Powered by a 1.5-litre V8 - it's the Ferrari 158
