Goodwood Festival of Speed 2019
Nu är det officiellt. Vi är festivalbesökare. Här på Polestar ser vi fram emot festivalsäsongen lika mycket som alla andra. Men inget Glastonbury eller Coachella för oss inte. Det finns bara en enda festival som vi verkligen bryr oss om.

Goodwood Festival of Speed.
Denna festival, som hålls i juli varje år på Goodwood House, ett ståtligt gods i South Downs nära Chichester, startades 1993 av Charles Gordon-Lennox, den 11:e hertigen av Richmond. Den har beskrivits som “motorsportens ultimata trädgårdsfest” och ger deltagarna en unik möjlighet att komma gårdagens och morgondagens prestandabilar och motorcyklar riktigt nära, både i den offentliga First Glance Paddock och från åskådarplatserna vid den berömda backen, när fordonen far fram på banan med ett vrål, ett rytande eller (när det gäller elbilar) en viskning.

01/20
Förra året var vi där för första gången. Och vi gillade det så mycket att vi återvände i år, den här gången med Polestar 2, för att fortsätta traditionen att låta allmänheten komma i närkontakt med bilvärldens mest avancerade nyheter. Vi deltog också i det berömda backevenemanget, med alla från Charlie May och Jack Harding till Polestars VD Thomas Ingenlath, som satt i passagerarsätet när Polestar 1 flög uppför backen. Och Polestars monter på Goodwood var naturligtvis ett minimalistiskt uttryck för ren, framåtsträvande prestanda, som byggde på framgången med förra årets monter.
Ta en titt i bildgalleriet så förstår du varför den här festivalen i West Sussex är något vi ser fram emot under hela året.
