Swap Gear! Dua Lipa shows off her lightning pace at Goodwood Festival of Speed with outfit change quicker than an F1 pitstop

Daily Mail​16 hours ago
Dua Lipa showed she was a perfect fit for this year's Goodwood Festival of Speed - with an outfit change quicker than a F1 pitstop.
Arriving at the event in a black leather jacket and black, ripped jean shorts and a white T-shirt, the singer switched into a striped yellow shirt and blue jeans in record-breaking time.
The 29-year-old headed to West Sussex for the charity auction of a customised Porsche 911 GT3 RS.
Emblazoned with her name and the German word Rennstall, which means racing team, the colourful car was designed by Ms Lipa, with all proceeds from the auction going to the Sunny Hill Foundation.
The Albanian-British star set up the charity in Kosovo to support vulnerable people in the country, with a focus on arts and culture.
The sale is being organised with Sotheby's, which says the car has a value 'in excess of $400,000 (£346,000)'.
Ms Lipa, said to be worth £100million, has been a Porsche ambassador since 2023.
But the singer, who announced her engagement to actor Callum Turner, 35, last month, has shown she's still happy to take the train.
On Tuesday, she was spotted at St Pancras station after returning from holiday on Eurostar.
More than 200,000 car fans and families are enjoying the sold-out Goodwood Festival of Speed – which has become the nation's unofficial motor show set in a stately home garden party.
The four-day automotive extravaganza takes place in the parkland grounds of Goodwood House, near Chichester, and is hosted by the Duke of Richmond – under whose stewardship it has grown massively in scale and ambition since its launch in 1993.
As well as attracting a record number of champion drivers and cars from Formula One – this year enjoying its 75th anniversary – the Festival of Speed provides a launchpad for debuts from sporting, luxury, supercar and mainstream car firms including Aston Martin, with its new Vantage S and Vanquish Volante, BMW, Chevrolet and Ferrari.
Goodwood marks the UK debut of Renault's new R4 E-Tech electric crossover, which is also tackling the challenging 1.16-mile hill-climb course.
Priced in three trim levels from £26,995 to £30,995, the new R4 is the more practical sibling of the award-winning Renault 5 E-Tech, costing from £22,995, which landed in UK driveways from April. Order books for the R4 open from July 15 ahead of the first deliveries in October.
On static display is a design model of the head-banging £140,000 555hp Renault 5 Turbo 3e mini supercar, which accelerates from 0 to 62 mph in under 3.5 seconds, up to a top speed of 167 mph. Expect first deliveries from 2027.
Legendary American marque Chevrolet is unveiling its first hybrid Corvette 'muscle-car' with my name on it: the 643 horsepower (473 kW) E-Ray.
Combining a 6.2 litre V8 petrol engine with an electric motor, it accelerates from 0 to 62 mph in a sizzling 2.9 seconds and is available to order in right-hand drive from £153,440 for the coupe and £159,230 for the convertible. First deliveries in September.
Chinese car-giant BYD presents its new premium brand Denza, ahead of its UK launch in early 2026. It is showing three fully electric and plug-in hybrid cars: a Z9 GT shooting brake, upmarket MPV called D9 and a rugged Land Rover Discovery rival called B5.
BYD itself recently launched its new Dolphin Surf electric city car with a range of 200 miles and priced from £18,650.
Ferrari is featuring four new models, including debuts of the new Amalfi sports car, which I road tested this month, the 296 Speciale, F80 and 12Cilindri.
The giant central display in front of Goodwood House honours 60 years of car design by the legendary Gordon Murray, whose highlights include the McLaren F1 supercar and lightweight T.50 hypercar.

Nadine Coyle narrowly misses out on bagging £50k jackpot on Celebrity Catchphrase for late Girls Aloud bandmate Sarah Harding's charity - but would you have got the answer?

Nadine Coyle narrowly missed out on an eye-watering £50,000 on Celebrity Catchphrase, but would you have managed to get it? The Girls Aloud singer, 40, appeared on the latest episode of the star-studded ITV game show. She joined Stephen Mulhern and went up against presenter Rick Edwards and EastEnders actor Jake Wood. Nadine was on course to scoop the jackpot prize as she sailed through the rounds, making it all the way to the Super Catchphrase. Viewers watched as the Northern Irish singer even doubled the money Rick and Jake had amassed during the game by successfully getting the number 11 catchphrase. However, her luck appeared to be running out as she stumbled on the final catchphrase behind number 15. Host Stephen, 48, showed her a line of cars on a stretch of road that was running on an athletics track before Mr Chips took over. Nadine then watched as the character crossed the line and won while an arrow pointed at him. She tried her best to guess what the phrase was, offering multiple answers but unfortunately ran out of him. While she didn't scoop the jackpot, she still left the studio with a respectable £30,000 for The Sara Harding Breast Cancer Appeal with the Christie Charity. Did you guess the correct answer? Stephen told Nadine how Mr Chips was 'beating the traffic' while congratulating her on walking away with five figures. Sarah tragically died from breast cancer at just 39 years old in 2021. Nadine previously spoke about losing her band made, saying she 'lives life to the fullest' and tries to have as much fun as she can. She told The Mirror: 'I just try to enjoy it, because Sarah really enjoyed life. She made the most of so many things. That's really important. 'You can worry about so much stuff that just becomes irrelevant. Hold the people close that you love and spend time having fun, as much as you can.' Sarah found fame in 2002 when she won a place on Popstars: The Rivals with the band and took the UK by storm soon after. She 'slipped away peacefully' in September 2021 after 'fighting so strongly from her diagnosis until her last day', her mum Marie wrote on Instagram at the time.
