For the first time, this year’s Goodwood Festival offered visitors the opportunity to take on the famous hill climb course on Lord March’s Goodwood estate.
Visitors had the choice of driving a Mazda MX-5 road car or getting a passenger ride in the topless and windscreen-less Mazda MX-5 Superlight concept that was brought in specially for the occasion.
One of the guys from the Autotrader Blog who did the hill climb in the Superlight describes the experience like this:
“It was my first-ever hill ascent at Goodwood and the opportunity to break my duck in the windscreen-less, stripped-back celebration of the iconic two-seater made it extra special.”
“The climb itself was thrilling. Auto Express road tester and racing driver Owen Mildenhall was at the wheel allowing me to drink in the crowds, the noise and the feeling of the wind not only in my hair, but right in my face.”

Martin has been kind enough to share some great photos from the festival on the forum. Did anyone else go this year – and if so, what did you think?
