July 18th, 2024
Thursday the 11th July was a special day for our GKL Southern offices and WVL with a visit to the fast paced Goodwood Festival of Speed!
The weather was dry and sunny, given the past few weeks it made a welcome change and enabled staff to truly enjoy the spectacular venue.
The event was a perfect way for staff to see the latest vehicles both combustion engine models and new Electric and hybrid variants on the Thursday. This is the day that manufacturers show off new models up the hill climb but also on the incredible manufacturer stands covering the site. Our staff were able to get up close with the cars and ask any questions whilst being able to see the performance of the newer variants.
We were even treated to the Tesla Cyber Truck making its way up the hill climb! Some fantastic new electric cars from Polestar and other EV’s across the board from hatchbacks to SUV’s.
The Red Arrows were a highlight given the glorious weather but also the sheer variety of cars on display past and present, from daily cars to supercars!
We all enjoyed a lunch from Goodwood’s very own Restaurant attached to the hotel, Farmer, Butcher, Chef. It was a delicious 3 course lunch in the quieter and relaxed atmosphere just outside the FOS.
All too quick the day was over but the amount on offer did not disappoint and certainly one for the calendar!
