Over 200,000 spectators will flock to West Sussex over the course of the Goodwood Festival of Speed. Among them, there will be thousands of F1 fans who will get to enjoy several features celebrating their favourite motorsport.
One of those will be the presence of an F1 legend Nigel Mansell.
Mansell won the 1992 F1 Championship and will celebrate the 30th anniversary of his title-winning season this weekend at Goodwood.
The legendary driver will be making several appearances across the weekend.
He will also jump into some of the most iconic cars that he had the pleasure of operating during his glorious career.

Following his F1 career Mansell became the only person ever to hold both F1 and IndyCar crowns at the same time, by winning the Cart championship in 1993, and he would go on to race in the BTCC and in sportscars through the 1990s and 2000s.
Speaking about Mansell’s presence, the Duke of Richmond said: “As we prepare to celebrate the ‘Masterminds of Motorsport’, I am delighted that Nigel will be joining us at the Festival of Speed to celebrate his incredible achievements in Formula 1.
“We know our fans will be eager to see Nigel in action on the Hill and have a chance to applaud his historic career.”
Mansell will not be the only F1 star present at this year’s festival.

Hill climbing at Goodwood is a historic event dating all the way back to 1936.
In 1936, the grandfather of the current Duke of Richmond and Gordon hosted an event on the estate.
The hillclimb event has featured ever since.
Last year it was Rob Bell who won the shootout in the McLaren 720S GT3.
The McLaren climbed the hill in 45.01 seconds.
Sunday promises to bring plenty of excitement to spectators.
Not only will there be drama involving F1 cars, but it will also be the last chance for motoring enthusiasts to enjoy features such as the Rally Stage, car manufacturer stands and the paddocks.
