Goodwood has announced today, 25th June, that the 2024 Festival of Speed, presented by Mastercard, will feature an incredible lineup of drivers from Oracle Red Bull Racing’s history as the team celebrates its 20th anniversary at the event.
Prepare for a thrilling moment at the Festival of Speed as we witness the debut of current and three-time Formula 1 World Champion Max Verstappen. He will drive the RB16B, the car in which he clinched his first world title in 2021. On Sunday, the event’s final day, teammate Sergio Pérez, team Principal and CEO Christian Horner, former Red Bull drivers David Coulthard, Christian Klien, Daniel Ricciardo, and Mark Webber will join him.
Following the world debut of the RB17 Hypercar on the Friday of the Festival of Speed, Red Bull’s celebrations will culminate in an epic moment on Sunday as seven prodigious drivers and cars from the team’s two triumphant decades in Formula 1 take to the Goodwood Hill before an unprecedented balcony moment.
Prepare for Goodwood’s most meaningful celebration of a Formula 1 team to date. The event is a rare opportunity for fans to salute the seven drivers who have won 96 Formula 1 races. The Festival of Speed has never been honoured to host the active reigning Formula 1 World Champion.
The Duke of Richmond, CBE DL, founder of the Festival of Speed said: “In its 31-year history, this is the first time that the Festival of Speed has celebrated a Formula 1 team on this scale. To have both the current drivers – not to mention the reigning World Champion – the CEO and Team Principal, as well as so many team icons is fantastic. Goodwood’s motorsport events have always prided themselves on the access that they offer fans and I am delighted that Oracle Red Bull Racing has fulfilled our ambition by bringing together such an illustrious and outstanding group of drivers and cars.”
