A new generation of stars take on the hillclimb
This year’s line-up at the Festival of Speed also saw a number of up-and-coming drivers from the junior categories get the opportunity to face the famous Goodwood hillclimb.
As well as reserve drivers Fred Vesti, Leonardo Fornaroli, Paul Aron and Jak Crawford being in action for Mercedes, McLaren, Alpine and Aston Martin respectively, F2 championship leader Nikola Tsolov marked his Goodwood debut by driving the Red Bull RB8, while fellow Formula 2 star Alex Dunne was at the wheel of the E20 for Alpine.
Meanwhile Alisha Palmowski – who sits at the top of the F1 ACADEMY standings – drove Red Bull’s RB17 Hypercar, and rival Nina Gademan also got to tackle the Hill in the E20.
