The Goodwood Festival of Speed presented by Mastercard will bring together its biggest ever celebration of Formula 1 in 2025, which will be at the core of the event’s theme ‘The Winning Formula – Champions and Challengers.’
The name, Shotgun Racer, draws inspiration from the term ‘riding shotgun,’ which originated in the American Wild West. This term referred to the person sitting in the front passenger seat of a stagecoach or wagon, armed with a shotgun. Over time, it has evolved to symbolize sitting in the front passenger seat of any vehicle. It reflects our desire to get closer to the action, diving into the world of motorsports, exploring cars, drivers, and their shared history.
