Goodwood Festival of Speed 2019
We zijn nu officiële festivalgangers. Bij Polestar zijn we net zo enthousiast over het festivalseizoen als ieder ander, maar voor ons geen Pinkpop of Rock Werchter. Er is maar één festival waar wij warm voor lopen:

het Goodwood Festival of Speed.
Het Festival of Speed werd in 1993 opgericht door Charles Gordon-Lennox, de 11e hertog van Richmond, en wordt elk jaar in juli gehouden op het landgoed Goodwood House in de South Downs bij Chichester. Het festival, dat ook wel “het ultieme tuinfeest van de autosport” wordt genoemd, biedt bezoekers een unieke kans om de diverse sportwagens en motorfietsen van gisteren en morgen van zeer dichtbij te bekijken. Dat kan zowel in de First Glance Paddock, die voor iedereen toegankelijk is, als langs de kant van de heuvelklim, wanneer de voertuigen brullend, piepend of (in het geval van elektrische auto’s) geluidloos voorbijrijden.

01/20
Vorig jaar lieten we ons voor het eerst zien. En dat beviel ons zo goed dat we dit jaar weer van de partij waren. We laten het publiek graag kennismaken met de meest geavanceerde automodellen ter wereld en namen daarom ditmaal de Polestar 2 mee. We deden ook mee aan de heuvelklim, waarbij iedereen als bijrijder naar boven vloog in de Polestar 1, niet alleen Charlie May en Jack Harding, maar ook Thomas Ingenlath, de CEO van Polestar. En de Polestar-stand in Goodwood was natuurlijk een minimalistische uitdrukking van pure, progressieve prestaties, gebaseerd op de succesvolle stand van vorig jaar.
