Goodwood Festival of Speed VIP Spectator Experience
Step Back into the Golden Age of Motor Racing
About This Tour
Embark on this extraordinary journey that places you at the heart of one of the globe’s most awe-inspiring automotive extravaganzas. Soar above Goodwood in a helicopter, gaining a breathtaking bird’s-eye view of the action, and enjoy exclusive access as a guest within the prestigious VIP lounge of the Goodwood Road Racing Club.
Make your own way to the Solent Hotel & Spa and settle in before we meet in the afternoon for welcome drinks and an introduction to the weekend ahead. With two full days at Goodwood waiting, there is time to meet the group and get into the spirit of the Festival of Speed. That evening, we leave the hotel for the Fox & Hounds, a traditional English country pub, where we sit down for dinner together. A relaxed and appropriately British way to begin our Goodwood weekend before returning to the hotel.
Start your day with a transfer to the Goodwood Festival of Speed 2026, an exhilarating blend of English countryside charm and the adrenaline rush of hill climbing. Experience a parade of vintage cars, Formula 1 vehicles from various eras, supercars, and rally cars tackling the famous Hill Climb. Enjoy the best views from the exclusive Kinrara Lounge of the Goodwood Road Racing Club, where you can indulge in a refined breakfast and lunch, savor a cider or Pimm’s in the garden, and watch the racing action from the grandstands. A helicopter tour over Goodwood provides a stunning overview of the Earl of March and Kinrara’s extensive estates. Meet legendary racers from Formula 1, Moto GP, and rallying during a paddock walk.
This morning we return to the Goodwood Festival of Speed 2026 for the final day of this four-day motorsport celebration. In the exclusive Kinrara Lounge, motorsport stars drop by for short interviews and to greet guests, creating unforgettable, up-close moments with racing legends. Around midday, you’ll be chauffeured by private transfer to the Goodwood Hotel for a relaxed Champagne welcome and a seasonal lunch of regional specialties, largely sourced from the Duke of Richmond’s estates and freshly prepared. Live music and the hotel’s attentive service set a refined, unhurried tone before you head back to the action. In the early afternoon, the festival reaches its climax: the traditional Hillclimb Shootout on the Goodwood hill. Prestige is on the line, drivers push their classic and contemporary icons to the limit, and the marshals work hard to keep the course clear—part of the electrifying spectacle that defines Goodwood. Before departure, take a last stroll through the Main Paddock to bid farewell to legendary sports cars and pick up a few festival souvenirs to remember the day.
After two full days of cars, speed and spectacle at Goodwood, our final morning reveals a very different side of British history. Following breakfast and check-out, we head to Portsmouth and the historic home of the Royal Navy. At the National Museum of the Royal Navy, the morning is yours to explore the historic dockyard and its remarkable maritime heritage at your own pace. There is also the option of taking a boat trip around Portsmouth’s historic harbour for a different perspective from the water. Around lunchtime, we leave the south coast behind and transfer directly to Terminal 2 at London Heathrow Airport, where our journey comes to an end.
