GRRL! SUMMARY:
- Endurance racing ace SARAH BOVY brought her A-game to Goodwood’s most competitive arena, piloting a Porsche 911 GT3-R in the Sunday Shootout against Britain’s hillclimb elite. While she couldn’t quite crack the podium against seasoned specialists like Alex Summers and James Wallis, her appearance in the finale proved that road racing skills translate beautifully to the mountain – and that she belonged among the weekend’s fastest drivers.
- The weekend also celebrated the McRae rally legacy with a touching family tribute, as Colin McRae’s daughter HOLLIE took part in commemorating the 30th anniversary of her father’s 1995 World Rally Championship victory. She rode shotgun in the legendary Subaru Impreza ‘L555 BAT’ driven by Jon Armstrong, continuing to hear new stories about her father’s lasting impact on motorsport three decades later.
- What made this Goodwood special wasn’t just the unprecedented F1 celebration or the record-breaking attendance – it was seeing drivers like BOVY step outside their comfort zones and prove that real racers adapt to any challenge. Whether it was endurance stars tackling the hillclimb or F1 drivers trying rally cars for the first time, the festival showcased the universal language of speed that connects all forms of motorsport.
UPCOMING:
- European Rally Championship rounds
- British Hillclimb Championship events
