Goodwood Festival Of Speed 2011

1 July - 3 July 2011

IEP were at Goodwood this year to take part in the annual Festival of Speed. IEP MD, Andrew Morris was invited by Lord March of Goodwood to run his 1990 Lotus F1 car, powered by the awesome Lamborghini V12 engine. This famous car has been driven by Johnny Herbert, Derek Warwick and Martin Donnelly, and at Goodwood this year Martin Donnelly was at the wheel.

In addition, the new Icon Sheene Motorbike, the world’s most exclusive motorbike was ridden by Freddie Sheene. The Icon Sheene project founder is Andrew Morris and the bike is the result of collaboration with the late Barry Sheene’s family and original engineers and designers.

The Festival attracted a record 181,000 motor sport and car enthusiasts, as well as more than 100 star racing drivers and riders. 

Celebrated drivers tackling the Festival hill climb included Lewis Hamilton, Jenson Button, Mark Webber, Nico Rosberg, Nigel Mansell, John Surtees and Sir Stirling Moss, making his first public appearance behind the wheel since announcing his retirement from competitive motor racing. 

IEP was pleased to share this great weekend with several customers who joined us over the course of the three day event.
