Extraordinary as they can be, the bulk of the vehicles taking part in the Goodwood Festival of Speed each year are road-going production automobiles. That's not exclusively the case, though.
Every year, automakers, racing teams, and private owners bring out an array of competition machinery to delight the gathered masses of fans at Lord March's country estate. They include rally machines, endurance racers, and everything in between... including Formula One racers old and new.
This weekend's event saw no fewer than 60 grand prix cars from seven decades of F1 competition. In celebration of its 70th anniversary, Ferrari alone brought more than twenty. Both Renault and Williams marked 40 years in the sport as well, and were well represented along with dozens of others from the likes of Red Bull, Lotus, McLaren, Honda, Surtees, Brabham, and Alfa Romeo. Even Nico Rosberg stepped back into the limelight to share the 2014 championship-winning Mercedes W05 with his successor Valtteri Bottas – all in the shadow of an F1 sculpture stretching to the skies in Bernie Ecclestone's honor.
It was surely a sight to behold, but if you weren't there to see it first hand, you can still check out the action in the photos and videos below.
