Lando Norris and Valentino Rossi to appear at Goodwood Festival of Speed 2026

Formula 1 World Champion Lando Norris and MotoGP legend Valentino Rossi will appear together at the Goodwood Festival of Speed this July, bringing two generations of motorsport talent to one of the sport’s most closely followed summer events in West Sussex.

Goodwood has confirmed their joint appearance at the Festival of Speed, where Formula 1 and motorcycle racing traditions will meet on the same stage. The event continues to position itself as a central point for global motorsport culture, where historic names and current champions share the spotlight.

Norris arrives at Goodwood following the British Grand Prix at Silverstone. His appearance carries personal significance, with the British driver long expressing admiration for Rossi, one of the most decorated figures in motorcycle racing.

Rossi’s return to Goodwood reinforces his enduring presence in the sport. With nine world titles and 115 Grand Prix victories, he remains a defining figure whose influence continues to stretch across generations of riders and fans.

The Festival of Speed has long been known for bringing together champions across different eras and disciplines. That tradition continues here, with Norris representing the present and Rossi representing a career that helped shape modern motorsport’s global identity.

Norris and Rossi will appear together on Friday afternoon during a Goodwood Balcony Moment, where fans will hear from both champions. Norris will return on Saturday for a second appearance celebrating his Formula 1 World Championship season.
