LONDON, U.K. (July 15, 2024) – Ferrari proudly celebrated a spectacular showcase of vehicles at this year’s Goodwood Festival of Speed, which concluded yesterday. In total, 26 unique representations of the famous Cavallino tackled the renowned Goodwood Hill, leaving a lasting impression on attendees. A significant highlight of the four-day event was the appearance of Oliver Bearman, Scuderia Ferrari HP Reserve Driver, who thrilled spectators with his dynamic drive of the SF71H, originally driven by Sebastian Vettel in the 2018 FIA Formula One World Championship.
“It was really a special weekend. Thanks to Goodwood and to the Ferrari family for having me and for giving me the unique opportunity to drive a SF71H up the hill. I had a lot of fun these past few days and it was really emotional to feel the support of all the people who stopped by for a picture and to cheer for me. I hope they enjoyed watching me driving and doing donuts as much as I did. I can’t wait to do it again!”

The event also saw the UK dynamic debut of six remarkable Ferrari models, each exemplifying the pinnacle of Italian design, performance, and technological innovation. One of the six dynamic debutants, the Ferrari 296 Challenge, entered the timed runs on the famous Goodwood Hill. Piloted by Ferrari Challenge Trofeo Pirelli Europe driver and reigning Ferrari Challenge Trofeo Pirelli UK Champion Andrew Morrow, the 296 Challenge stormed past Goodwood House in emphatic style to complete the 1.16-mile hillclimb in just 50.03 seconds to finish 7th overall in the final timed run shoot-out.
The presence of Ferrari at Goodwood was further enhanced by the Scuderia Ferrari HP team and a collection of iconic Ferrari F1 cars, including the F2001 and the F2007, historically driven by Michael Schumacher and Kimi Räikkönen respectively, which added to the excitement and legacy of Ferrari’s participation at the Festival. The Cavallino was also honoured by the passionate participation of Ferrari collectors who displayed an impressive array of classic racing models.
