This was just of a whole series of sustainable projects that Vettel has started, challenging both the pace at which the motorsport industry is moving, as well as the science, famously saying: "THERE IS STILL A RACE TO WIN.”Īs the Festival of Speed continues to champion the future of mobility and automotive technology, with the expansion of Electric Avenue and a growing number of alternatively fuelled vehicles, we are delighted to support Sebastian Vettel’s wish to only drive cars running on synthetic fuel at the event. He launched his alternative fuels campaign “Race without Trace” in front of an audience of millions at the 2022 British Grand Prix at Silverstone, driving the iconic Williams FW14B – Nigel Mansell's "Red Five Single-Seater” World Championship car – fuelled only with e-fuels. Sebastian Vettel, who retired from his active career as a Formula 1 driver at the end of 2022, is still one of the most prominent voices in motorsport. Fitting then, that he joins us as we celebrate 30 years of the Festival of Speed and 75 years of motorsport history and heritage at Goodwood. His visit to the 2023 Festival of Speed is his second to Goodwood, following his attendance in 2012, the 20 th edition of the event, where he shared driving duties with team-mate Mark Webber in the 2011 title-winning Red Bull RB7.

Over the weekend, fans will be able to gather and salute his extraordinary Formula 1 career, as the Festival of Speed hosts a celebratory 'balcony moment’ for Vettel.

Well known as a fan of motorsport history, it is no surprise that his own collection features these iconic cars from the careers of two of the sport’s most celebrated figures. Joining us on Saturday and Sunday, Vettel will take to the Goodwood Hill in a number of cars from his personal collection, including his ex-Nigel Mansell 1992 Williams FW14B and ex-Ayrton Senna 1993 McLaren MP4/8. The newly-retired driver – one of the sport’s most popular figures – will make a special return to the sell-out motorsport event, following his attendance in 2012. Goodwood is delighted to announce that four-time Formula 1 World Champion Sebastian Vettel will attend this year’s Festival of Speed.
