En nog een bericht : (met dank aan Guy)
Great favourites return for the tenth anniversary celebrations: Bob Riggle; seven Formula One teams, including Ferrari; F1 drivers including Juan Pablo Montoya, Jenson Button, Olivier Panis and Allan McNish; Chaparrals from the USA; spectacular rally cars and the latest Le Mans challengers. Festival of Speed - The First Decade In 2003 the Goodwood Festival of Speed celebrates its tenth anniversary, and in recognition of this important milestone the Festival will focus on some of the most memorable highlights from the ten events to date, with the field of cars and motorcycles representing some of the 'greatest hits'. Around 200 of the world's greatest cars, drivers, bikes and riders from around the globe - including everything from Edwardian racers to Group B rally cars and the latest Formula 1 machinery - will return to Goodwood to ensure that the 10th anniversary Festival is by far the best yet. Nowhere else in the world can you experience such a rich mixture of motor racing heroes from past and present. See the following for details: Riggle returns - ultimate drag-racing showman back by popular demand Arguably the single most memorable vehicle ever to have taken to the Goodwood hillclimb is the wheel-standing Plymouth Barracuda 'Hurst Hemi Under Glass' of all-American drag-racing hero Bob Riggle. No one who visited the Festival in 2001 could forget the extraordinary sight and sound of Bob performing 100-metre wheelies in front of Goodwood House in his 1100bhp car, leaving a trail of sparks glowing in his wake. Bob has agreed to return with the Barracuda this year for more of his unique antics - he is sure to receive a hero's welcome. Formula One - the world's best cars and drivers The Festival of Speed's unique ability to attract the top works Formula One teams is its key strength, and seven teams have now confirmed attendance in 2003. Nowhere else in the world can you get so close to the latest and greatest cars and drivers. This year, Goodwood will throng to the sound of the latest McLaren-Mercedes, Williams-BMW, BAR-Honda, Toyota, Renault and Jordan-Ford in action on the hill, along with Scuderia Ferrari with their latest car. It is confirmed that Colombian superstar Juan Pablo Montoya will return to drive the Williams-BMW on the Saturday; Olivier Panis will drive the Toyota TF103 on Saturday and Sunday; BAR-Honda will field Anthony Davidson on Friday, Takuma Sato on Saturday and Jenson Button on Sunday (along with wheel-changing challenge on their exhibition site every day); Allan McNish will drive the latest Renault all weekend and Jordan expects Ralph Firman to drive its car. Look out in the paddock for familiar faces such as David Coulthard, Ross Brawn, Murray Walker, Martin Brundle, Frank Williams, Patrick Head, David Richards and Adrian Newey. Challenge for Fastest Time of the Day Challenging the hillclimb record set by Nick Heidfeld in a McLaren-Mercedes MP4/13 in a time of 41.6 seconds in 1999 will be Pikes Peak record holder Rod Millen, who set the fastest time of 2002 in his 800bhp 1990 Toyota Celica. Rod has vowed to return in 2003 with 'something even quicker' - the turbocharged 900bhp Toyota Tacoma pick-up truck which he hillclimbs in his native New Zealand. Chaparrals head a mouth-watering collection of competition cars from the USA Over the years the Festival has established an enviable reputation for attracting some of the USA's most spectacular racing machinery. Arguably the most memorable cars of all were Jim Hall's magnificent Chaparral sports-racing cars, which made their first (and only) visit to Europe for a generation for the Festival in 1997. Jim and his number one driver Phil Hill will return to Goodwood this year with the trend-setting 2E and 2F, the high-winged sports cars that pioneered the use of aerofoils in motor racing. Every year around 20 competition cars are shipped in exclusively for the Festival, and more than ever are expected in this anniversary year. Notable returnees from the USA include the fabulous Howmet TX gas turbine car that caused a sensation at Le Mans and set a world speed record of 194mph; the gigantic 14-litre FIAT S76 Grand Prix car that won the French GP in 1911; the famous 1963 Indy-winning Watson-Offenhauser 'Ol Calhoun Special'; and the distinctive Bugatti Type 57G 'Tank', which won every race it entered in 1937/8. 100 Years of Ford Ford will celebrate its centenary with a breathtaking automotive sculpture in front of Goodwood House. We cannot reveal too much, but the feature is going to be the biggest ever constructed for the Festival. Gathering around this sculpture will be around 30 historic Ford and Ford-powered racing cars, many driven by stars from Ford's illustrious past. For more information please refer to the news story detailing each marque's presence at the Festival. The best of modern motor sport The schedule of the World Rally Championship means that some of the top teams are able to come to Goodwood once again. Ford will bring a Focus WRC for the legendary Hannu Mikkola to drive and Subaru are expected to provide their latest car. Peugeot expects Richard Burns and Robert Reid to drive a historic 205 T16 Group B car on one of the days. There will also be current Le Mans cars, still covered in dirt after their efforts at the 24-hour race, including the charismatic Bentley EXP Speed 8, having perhaps just recaptured the great British marque's winning ways at Le Mans in the 1920s. A celebration of British hillclimbing In the tenth anniversary of Britain's most illustrious hillclimb meeting, a special class will feature champions past and present. David Good, Peter Westbury, Joy Rainey, Tony Marsh, Roy Lane and Graeme Wight Jnr will all take to the hill in cars synonymous with their success. Return of the Red Arrows The ever-popular Red Arrows aerobatic display team will return to the Festival once again. However, due to other commitments, they will only display on Friday 11th July this year. At present there will be no other military aircraft displays, although arrangements are being made for further air displays throughout the weekend.

Ik vraag me al enkele jaren af of het niet mogelijk is om een festival als Goodwood in Zolder te organiseren.
Akkoord, zo een evenement zal altijd een kopie of afkooksel van Goodwood zijn. Maar het moet toch kunnen om iets dergelijks, met eigen accenten, elders te organiseren.

I have read that Manuel Reuter will drive his 1996 ITC-winner Calibra (Cliff-design) at Goodwood.
