This year’s Goodwood Festival of Speed will set up a dedicated Manufacturer Preview Day, a one day extension of the event that allows the public to test drive the standard vehicles from multiple manufacturers.

The new feature, called “Moving Motor Show” will be held on July 1 - one day before the Festival introductions & will gives customers the option to view the latest & hottest creations that have joined the automotive market & test them on a special evaluation course. Visitors will have the ability to perform a drive-test on the famous Goodwood hillclimb, recreating the parade held during the annual festival, where motorsport personalities from all times drive automotive icons.

The new project has been developed from the previous-years Supercar Run, which facilitated carmakers to display case their vehicles. The Goodwood Festival of Speed has become a fast-developing new vehicle display - last year, over 30 vehicles made their UK debut at the event.The Moving Motor Show will be downsized versions of an auto show, as it will feature vehicles form all sectors of the market, displayed in manufacturer-dedicated stands.

The Moving Motor Show is an express response to the nonstop enthusiasm & demand from vehicle manufacturers & the general car-buying public alike for an annual motor show in Britain. In current years the British Motor Show has been bi-annual, & has now been cancelled altogether for 2010, says Lord March, Festival of Speed founder.
