The Goodwood Festival of Speed is preparing to welcome Damon Hill, marking thirty years since his Formula 1 World Championship with Williams. The British motorsport icon remains one of the nation’s most respected racing drivers, having cemented his place in the sport’s history thanks to 22 Grand Prix wins, and making history as part of the first father-son duo to both claim World Championship titles.
This year’s Festival of Speed will reunite Damon Hill with some of the cars that defined his career. The Duke of Richmond meanwhile will invite fans to join Goodwood in celebrating Hill with a dedicated balcony moment planned on Saturday 11th July.
“I’m very much looking forward to celebrating the 30th anniversary of my World Championship at the Goodwood Festival of Speed this year,” Damon Hill said. “Goodwood has always been a special place for the Hill family, my parents came to nearby Bognor Regis for their honeymoon in 1955 because my father was racing in the Nine Hour race the same weekend, and I have been a patron since the very first Festival of Speed in 1993. Goodwood’s fans are some of the most passionate in the world, and it will be a real privilege to share my anniversary with such an appreciative audience.”
This year’s Goodwood Festival of Speed will take place between 9th and 11th July 2026. Tickets are available to book at goodwood.com.
