One of the absolute highlights on the calendar is the annual Goodwood Festival of Speed and we are confident that this year will be no exception. Among the featured celebrations will be BMW with the central feature display marking the company's 100th anniversary, while many current and past racers and riders will also make an appearance. We will be there to capture the event in its entirety and you can still join on Thursday and Friday for which there are still tickets available on the Goodwood website.
To get you in the mood for the event, we have today taken a closer look at three very different machines that starred at previous editions. Among them is the glorious Matra MS650, which stretched its leg at the Festival of Speed in 2015. That year, we were also treated to the first ever public appearance of both LEC CPR1 F1 cars. A previous visitor and one to star again this year is the Ferrari 375 Indy from the Louwman Museum. It is one of just four Indy cars ever built by Ferrari. For a further impression of what to expect you can explore our previous event features, which at the bottom have links to many of the great that starred in that specific year.
This weekend's 24 Hours of Le Mans was one for the history books with many winners but also a big loser. We will follow up on this later in the week but for now have added new images to the galleries of the Ford GT LM GTE, which won its class exactly 50 years after Ford's first overall win and the Toyota TS050 Hybrid, which came so achingly close to the company's first outright victory.
At the upcoming Pikes Peak Hill Climb, Acura will field this all-ectric EV Concept. Powered by four electric motors, it is based on the new NSX road car.
We have today also added the ninth F1 GTR Longtail of a total of ten built to our feature. Raced in contemporary events until 2005, it is today offered for sale on behalf of only its third owner by specialists Kidston SA from Geneva, Switzerland.
