Highlights of the Goodwood Festival of Speed 2024
This year marked the 50th anniversary of McLaren’s first Formula 1 World Championship victories. The legendary Ayrton Senna, forever etched in motorsport history, was rightfully honored. McLaren House displayed a stunning new design featuring the “Senna Sempre” paintwork techniques, a masterpiece by MSO, McLaren’s bespoke division. The vibrant yellow and green Senna with this special livery attracted a throng of enthusiasts, captivated by both the car itself and the incredible artistry on its surface.
The Solus GT, with its striking Mika Häkkinen-inspired livery, was a showstopper at Goodwood. McLaren factory driver Marvin Kirchhöfer emerged victorious in the Solus at Sunday’s Timed Shootout Final with a blistering time of 45.342 seconds. This feat secured McLaren’s position as the fastest car at Goodwood for the second time in three years, following the 720S GT3X’s triumph in 2021.
Along with celebrating the past, McLaren also looked at the future. The Goodwood Festival of Speed gave the perfect platform for the UK dynamic debut of the Artura Spider, McLaren’s groundbreaking high-performance hybrid convertible supercar. This supercar offers cutting-edge hybrid technology and a thrilling open-top experience.
