The excitement is just about beginning, time past has filled automobile enthusiasts and the automobile industry with thrills while showcasing their passion for a world class showdown. 2021 returns with automobile enthusiasts, drivers, F1 teams, car companies, bikers, rally drivers and a host of others would be finding their way to the Goodwood Estate , West Sussex, England after Covid restrictions last year put a halt to the Festival Of Speed.

2021 returns with the theme "The Maestro - Motorsport's Great All- Rounders." The Maestro himself Romain Dumes, a French professional Racing driver, did beat his 2018 record time in 2019 to become a record breaker in the famous hillclimb. Setting a record time of 39.9 seconds in his electric Volkswagen I.D.R in the 1.86km track involving 9 turns. No mistake whatsoever, for another maestro who made a name for himself through F1, indycar and Nascar; Mario Andretti.
So yes, I can’t wait to see what this year has for the world to see. With certainty, the thrills of this year’s event would be off the hook, with the reintroduction of future labs (let’s definitely get our minds blown up).
