McLaren P1 to lead Festival of Speed supercar run

McLaren P1 to lead Goodwood Festival of Speed supercar run 

A grid of McLaren P1 as much as 40 from the newest supercars may have the opportunity to quicken the hill at June’s Goodwood Festival of Speed in a brand new timed, ‘shoot-out’ format for road cars. The ‘Supercar Paddock’ can get the opportunity to run in the hill individually at competitive speeds inside a single, Saturday afternoon slot that could show off their maximum performance and handling to spectators.

‘It will certainly be run to full RAC competition rules, no passengers and also a driver in full overalls and helmet, cleared to reach for the quickest time in the hill, ’ said a Goodwood spokesman. Which cars will require part has yet to become finalised, although Goodwood is confident the McLaren P1 will require part, as the Porsche 918 Spyder is really a strong possibility and McLaren P1. The Supercar Paddock, usually sponsored by Michelin, has grown in size to number around 40 cars in recent years. Names represented during the past include Bentley, BMW, Bugatti, Ferrari, Infiniti, Koenigsegg,

Lotus, Maserati, McLaren, Morgan, Porsche and Spyker. Although Goodwood has announced the new 911 GT3 RS will require part, Porsche GB has since denied that‘ll be the case. “The Festival is just too early for our particular launch timing, a Porsche spokesman said. As in previous years, supercars will run in the hill twice each day during Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Manufacturers and drivers that like to opt for a time on Saturday afternoon will certainly be offered the go-ahead for any flat-out run in the 1. 1 mile hill in front of Goodwood House.
