Goodwood backs C&SC Show Live Interview Stage

| 4 Aug 2016

The Classic & Sports Car Show has joined forces with Goodwood to present a stellar lineup of motorsport greats on the event’s Live Interview Stage, which is set to be a hive of activity on each day of the 28-30 October show. 

Goodwood Road and Racing will call upon all its connections, rich history and vast experience gained from organising the Members’ Meeting, Revival and Festival of Speed to bring together a world-class roster of speakers, marshalled by broadcaster and commentator Henry Hope-Frost. 

The Show will be one of the first live experiences Goodwood has curated outside the estate, bringing motorsport royalty to Alexandra Palace this autumn. Guests will include legends from across the automotive and motorsport worlds, with behind-the-scenes gossip, tales from the pitlane and entertaining anecdotes from all aspects of the industry. 

Will Kinsman, head of motorsport content at Goodwood, said: “We’re thrilled to be working with our friends at Classic & Sports Car to present the Live Interview Stage at the Classic & Sports Car Show. The Alexandra Palace is the perfect setting for the show, and in only its second year, it is already established as a fixture on the classic car calendar. We’re looking forward to bringing a host of famous faces to the Live Interview Stage, which we hope will continue to be an entertaining and popular part of the event.” 

James Elliott, group editor, Classic & Sports Car magazine added: “The Interview Stage was a popular feature at the inaugural event, with star guests from drivers and team principals to TV personalities drawing large crowds throughout the show. With such a prestigious organisation as Goodwood partnering with us this year, we are sure to have a star-studded line-up appealing to visitors of all ages.”

Guests and a stage schedule will be announced in the run up to the event.

The show will also feature an auction from Coys, while the top ten finalists from the show’s Century of Supercars global poll will be gathered together in a multi-million pound centerpiece, with the winner – the Greatest Supercar Ever – announced at the event. To vote, simply go to the show’s all-new website www.classicandsportscarshow.com/supercars and pick your favourite from each group between now and 31 August. 

The show’s new website also features a range of ticket packages, from general access to a limited number of premium tickets offering everything from fine dining to guided tours of the event.
