Racing stars set for Goodwood
May 5 2009Two top racing drivers have been confirmed as attending this year's Goodwood festival of speed in July.
Former double world rally champion Walter Rohrl and six-time Le Mans 24 Hour race winner Jacky Ickx will be among the stars getting behind the wheel at the event and both will be helping car manufacturer AUDI celebrate it centenary.
Audi officially turns 100 on July 16th this year and to mark the occasion the company is the featured marque at this year's festival, which is being held from July 3rd to 5th.
"I'm really looking forward to getting back behind the wheel of the cars I drove during my time with Audi," said Rohl, who was awarded titles such as rally driver of the century in Italy and rally driver of the millennium in France during his glittering career.
He continued: "I am especially happy to sit in the Audi Pikes Peak car again. In addition, to be at Goodwood, will be a big experience for me."
The Festival of Speed is the world's biggest and most diverse celebration of the history of motor sport and car culture, according to the organisers.
The event will see a variety of old and new cars put to the test on the track and it could inspire more people to look to purchase a used car.
