Goodwood Festival of Speed 2009 – Click above for high-res image gallery
The Goodwood Festival of Speed took place last weekend at the Earl of March's home in West Sussex, England. Like every year, this event attracted throngs of auto fans from around the world, as well as celebrities (Jay Leno, Peter Fonda, Jesse James, etc.), manufacturers and motorsports teams.
The Hillclimb that takes place on 1.19 miles of Goodwood Estate's parkland roads served as the main attraction, and we've got plenty of shots of the action. Vehicles like the Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren Stirling Moss (driven by Moss himself, no less), Bertone Mantide, a McLaren F1 GTR, Porsche 911 GT1, Pagoni Zonda
Check it all out in the gallery below, complete with descriptions to help you follow along.

Dear Autoblog,
That's a Zonda R not a Zonda Cinque.
Your friend,
Quattroporte
P.S.
Here's some supporting evidence.

I read the LF-A was going to be there. Looking for pics of it all weekend the only image I found was one of the "Cystal Wind" sculpture. I guess it is a teaser of the final design?

After looking at the awesome gallery I have come to the conclusion that cars are just too damn cool.
That's gotta be one of the best events to go to if your a car guy/gal.

"Jesse James in his custom trophy truck, a big crowd pleaser!"
I had to put it, apparently there's no other description of the car, lol.
This is a really lovely event though, I would have loved to be there.

Can anyone tell e what the funky little yellow coupe in image 62 is? Other than the Cortina tail lights, I'm completely stumped

that is a Unipower, which was a Mini based midengine 2 seater from Perivale Middlesex in southern England in the late sixties

Fantastic gallery guys! My only really comment, which has been mentioned before, is to have wallpaper-sized pics. I would be great to use some of these beautiful shots on one's desktop.
