Goodwood Festival of Speed 2026: F1 stars taking part

Newey has been confirmed to be driving his final Red Bull design, the RB17 hypercar, in its public debut, while Isack Hadjar and now-reserve driver Yuki Tsunoda will also take part.

Kimi Antonelli, Pierre Gasly and Franco Colapinto appear, while Lando Norris will drive McLaren’s 2023 car, the MCL60, during the weekend.

Arvid Lindblad and Liam Lawson will both be in attendance with Racing Bulls, with Williams and Aston Martin also bringing a significant presence through the event.

The four-day event at the Sussex estate sees cars and motorcycles from the past, present and future tackle the 1.16-mile hill climb in a mixture of show runs, before Sunday’s Shoot-Out sees competitors attempt to set the fastest time possible.

Nick Heidfeld held the long-standing record after powering a McLaren MP4/13 up the hill in 41.6 seconds in 1999, before former Marussia driver Max Chilton set a new benchmark with an electric McMurtry Spéirling fan car in 2022.

Teams often celebrate their past and present machinery at Goodwood, with McLaren, for example, marking the 50th anniversary of James Hunt’s dramatic 1976 title victory this year.
