Goodwood changes dates of 2013 Festival of Speed

Due to Bernie Ecclestone and his gang changing the dates for the German Grand Prix, Goodwood has been forced to reschedule the 2013 Festival of Speed.

The new date for your diaries is July 12-14 with the Moving Motor Show being held on Thursday, July 11 – however, Goodwood has admitted it will have to move the event again if Formula One reschedules any more dates.

Goodwood says the change has been made "to ensure that the Festival can continue to host current F1 teams and drivers in 2013," and that "current Formula 1 content has played an integral part in the Festival over the last twenty years, and will continue to do so in 2013 as part of Goodwood's 20th anniversary Festival celebrations".

This year's special event will see the biggest, best, fastest, loudest and most outrageous vehicles of all time will be invited back to West Sussex for a weekend not to be missed.

Goodwood plans to recapture many of the outstanding Festival of Speed moments from the 1993-2012 era.

All 2013 Festival of Speed tickets already purchased will remain valid for the new dates. However, any queries can be dealt with by contacting the Goodwood Ticket Office on +44(0)1243 755055, or email ticket.office@goodwood.com
