1. Bringing Goodwood to the U.S.A.

   29 oktober 2026 · 1 uur 21 min

   Afspelen
   At the second annual Willow Springs Reimagined we sit down with Marino Franchitti (pro driver and Singer's head development driver) to talk about what makes for a good (and bad) test driver, and racing the oddly-shaped Delta Wing (look it up). Lees meer

   Then, the Duke of Richmond Charles Gordon-Lennox. He literally created two of the best events in the world of cars: Goodwood Festival of Speed and the Goodwood Revival. The Duke is joining the forces of Willow Springs to bring the Goodwood magic to the USA. We cover a lot of ground, from the surprising story of how the original GW came to be, the plans for Willow and a larger vintage series in America.

   All that and more.
