10 01732 759725 EVENTS 11-16 year-olds from 24 schools will enjoy a specially curated programme of talks and workshops from the Goodwood Education Trust and Future Lab exhibitors. Future Lab Ambassador, the astronaut Tim Peake, said: “I’m very much looking forward to returning to the Festival of Speed. It’s always fantastic to see the next generation of scientists, explorers, engineers and innovators interact with the Future Lab exhibits.” FOS TECH’s interest in new and emerging technologies extends beyond the Future Lab pavilion and onto the racetrack, with the Indy Autonomous Challenge team, a graduate of the 2023 Future Lab pavilion, attempting to set an autonomous racecar world record on the Goodwood Hill. Elsewhere, Electric Avenue will showcase electric and hydrogenpowered cars, enabling visitors to learn more about the benefits of switching to alternative-fuel vehicles and explore a wide range of models. These include the MG Cyberster, which made its world debut at the 2023 Festival of Speed. As part of its celebration of motorsports through the ages, the 2024 Festival of Speed features numerous other attractions including the F1 Pit Lane, where visitors can mix with the drivers and mechanics of six Formula 1 teams, the Forest Rally Stage, Supercar Paddock, Supercar Run, Drivers’ Club, GAS Arena, Cartier Style et Luxe Concours d’Elegance and Bonhams Cars Auction. goodwood.com This year’s Festival of Speed at Goodwood House, West Sussex on July 11-14 will once again feature the FOS TECH Future Lab exhibition of space tech, drones, robots and AI, alongside more than 600 cars and motorcycles from the past, present and future of motorsports. Exhibits on show in the Future Lab presented by Randox pavilion include eVolare, a vertical takeoff and landing electric jet; a solar-powered car from Durham University; wall-climbing robots; 3D-printed delivery vehicles; and many more ground-breaking innovations. As part of the Festival of Speed 2024’s STEM programme, 1,000 The Future Lab line up Exploring the theme of ‘Technology for a Better World’, Future Lab exhibitors are grouped into four categories: Protecting the Planet, Robots to the Rescue, Future of Flight and Our World in Pixels.
