The 2023 Goodwood Festival of Speed is officially underway and if you’re a fan, enthusiast or oracle of all things fast on two wheels, then this year’s event is a veritable treat.

As has become customary, the annual event brings together the good, the great and the even greater from across the motoring, motorsport and the motorcycle landscape.

From world premiere launches, to deliciously retro exhibitions, to - of course - myriad machines taking a run up Goodwood’s famous hillclimb route, if you have even a drop of oil coursing through your veins, the Festival of Speed is an absolute must-visit to place high on your bucket list.

Celebrating its 30th Anniversary this year, the 2023 Goodwood Festival of Speed has attracted an impressive array of high-profile motorcycling talent with the factory Ducati, KTM and Aprilia, plus the GasGas Tech 3 and RNF Aprilia, MotoGP teams out in force over the four days for appearances, a go at the hill and maybe even a cheeky crowd pleasing burnout.

They will be bringing along the likes of defending MotoGP World Champion Pecco Bagnaia, Enea Bastianini, Brad Binder, Miguel Oliveira and Augusto Fernandez, while Pol Espargaro is making a special appearance on the GasGas KTM RC16 in what will be his first outing on the machine since a crash at the Portimao MotoGP opener in March sidelined him for four months with a back injury.
