Pierre Gasly and Franco Colapinto take to the famous hill climb at Goodwood Festival of Speed this weekend

The Goodwood Festival of Speed is an annual celebration of motorsport, attracting visitors from around the world. Held in the glorious grounds of Goodwood House outside Chichester, this weekend’s event will be a chance for fans to enjoy a five-strong BWT Alpine Formula One Team driver line-up and a world-first for Alpine.

A special Alpine Moment

Alongside demonstrations of the 2012 V8-powered Formula One E20, there will also be a special reveal of the Alpine A110 FUTURE, the car being used to develop future technology for the next-generation A110. The exciting machine will debut on Thursday as Pierre Gasly gets behind the wheel to drive the car up Goodwood hill, after which he will appear on the Main Stage at the FOS Fan Zone.

The third generation of the Alpine A110 FUTURE will be the world’s first true EV sportscar, underpinned by the brand-new Alpine Performance Platform (APP), which allows it to remain true to Alpine’s DNA. The mule car will make its global public debut during the Alpine Moment on Thursday, scheduled for 11:25am BST.

Formula One machinery on show

The first demonstration runs of the E20 will take place on Thursday too, with Alpine Academy racer Nina Gademan — fresh from her podium in F1 Academy last weekend — making her first public F1 run up the famous hill climb. She will be followed by Alpine Academy driver Alex Dunne on Friday and Reserve Driver Paul Aron on Saturday.

Finally, Franco Colapinto will delight fans with his two demonstration runs on Sunday before visiting the Fan Zone stage later that day.

A celebration of motorsport

The Goodwood Festival of Speed is a chance for motorsport and motoring enthusiasts to enjoy more than 600 fast and exotic machines, as they take to the famous hill climb at Goodwood House. Since it was first run in 1993, the event has grown into a huge four-day event, attracting Formula One stars and becoming a true festival of speed.

The West Sussex stately home, owned by the Duke of Richmond, will also feature a number of static displays in addition to the non-competitive times set on the 1.16-mile course. This coming weekend will feature a dedicated Alpine Cars stand, showcasing the very best of Alpine, with entertainment planned for each day of the Festival.

Alpine’s biggest-ever presence

The E20 will be stationed in the BWT Alpine Formula One Team garage, where you’ll be able to hear the incredible 2.4-litre V8 fire-up before its demonstration runs each day. We will also celebrate F1 Sim Racing World Champion Otis Lawrence’s success earlier this year, with the Alpine Sim Racing team located in the F1 Fan Zone.

Twelve competition winners from our RISE+ membership will be in attendance over the four days, with further chances for fans to win across the weekend. There will be an Alpine Triple Challenge, in which you can scan QR codes to check-in to all three zones at Goodwood for a chance to win a Meet & Greet with Franco Colapinto.

In all, spectators will gather within the picturesque surroundings of the South Downs for a weekend of noise, speed and spectacular action, featuring Alpine’s biggest-ever presence at the legendary event.
