The 2019 Festival of Speed presented by Mastercard will celebrate the record-breaking career of seven-time Formula 1 World Champion Michael Schumacher, as friends, family and rivals come together to pay tribute to the sport's greatest record-breaker.
This year marks not only 25 years since the great German clinched his first F1 title (at Adelaide in 1994) but also Michael Schumacher's 50th birthday. Therefore to celebrate these milestones Goodwood will organise a special tribute to the Benetton, Ferrari, Jordan and Mercedes legend.
The celebration will span his entire career, expanding out from his incredible time in Formula 1 to his early years in sportscars and touring cars, and even back into the early days of his career in junior categories. As part of the celebration, Damon Hill will take to the hillclimb in one of his former rivals iconic cars.
With this year's theme set as "Speed Kings – Motorsport's Record Breakers" Michael's incredible career is the perfect subject for a tribute.
Not only did he race in over 300 Grands Prix on his way to the record of seven World Championships, but on the way Schumacher also broke records for most wins (91), most wins with the same team (72), most wins in a season (13), most podiums (155), most fastest laps (77) and more.
