2026 Goodwood Festival of Speed Live Stream: The Rivals & Epic Racing Duels

This year’s theme puts motorsport’s greatest head-to-head battles in the spotlight. From Hunt versus Lauda and Senna versus Prost to Ford versus Ferrari, Audi versus Lancia, and Rossi versus Márquez, Goodwood will revisit the rivalries that shaped racing history.

Formula 1 remains central to the festival's appeal. James Hunt’s 1976 championship-winning McLaren M23D will appear 50 years after his legendary title fight with Niki Lauda, while Ferrari, Williams, BRM and Red Bull machinery, including the RB17 hypercar, will also feature on the famous hill climb.

The Hill remains Goodwood’s heartbeat. It gives fans the rare chance to see historic and modern racing machines moving, not just sitting behind ropes. That blend of sound, speed and proximity is what separates Goodwood from a static display.

The festival also reaches far beyond F1. The Forest Rally Stage returns with everything from classic Escorts and Audi Quattros to Group B icons such as the MG Metro 6R4 and Peugeot 205 T16, plus modern rally machinery.

New for 2026 is the FOS Fan Zone presented by Pirelli, created to bring fans closer to drivers, riders, teams and personalities. Damon Hill, Gerhard Berger, James Vowles, Jamie Chadwick, Tom Kristensen, Emanuele Pirro and Carl Fogarty are among the confirmed names.

Goodwood’s strength remains its mix of eras. Younger fans may arrive for modern F1 stars, hypercars and simulators but leave with a deeper understanding of the battles that built the sport.

In 2026, Goodwood is not just celebrating machines. It is celebrating pressure, pride, opponents and rivalries that still echo decades later. We are happy to run the live stream feed throughout the weekend. Enjoy!
