Ferrari Showcases F80 Hypercar, Amalfi GT, and Racing Heritage at Goodwood Festival of Speed
Ferrari delivered one of the most talked-about displays at this year's Goodwood Festival of Speed, combining record-breaking performance with rich racing heritage. The iconic Italian marque brought its newest road and track creations to the famous hillclimb while celebrating decades of motorsport excellence.
Headlining Ferrari's dynamic showcase was the F80 hypercar, making its public hillclimb debut. The cutting-edge hybrid supercar, designed as the spiritual successor to the LaFerrari, wowed crowds as it tore up the course in multiple liveries, including an eye-catching green-and-white-striped model and a vivid yellow example. With aggressive aerodynamics and hybrid power expected to exceed 1,000 horsepower, the F80 underlined Ferrari's commitment to blending electrified technology with traditional performance.
Also joining the hillclimb action was Ferrari's new 12Cilindri, a naturally aspirated V12 grand tourer that harkens back to classic Ferrari front-engined models. On the display side, Ferrari revealed the 296 Speciale and open-top 296 Speciale A, track-focused evolutions of the brand's hybrid V6 platform, promising even sharper performance for dedicated drivers.
One of the most anticipated unveilings was the Ferrari Amalfi, the sleek new V8 grand tourer and successor to the Roma. Debuted to the public at Goodwood, the Amalfi's long, flowing lines and luxurious interior represent Ferrari's evolving interpretation of modern touring elegance.
Ferrari also celebrated its Formula 1 heritage with a lineup of legendary race cars, from championship-winning machines to current Scuderia Ferrari challengers, in honor of F1's 75th anniversary. Historic models, including the iconic F50 and the 296 Challenge race car, added further star power to the display.
With a mix of groundbreaking hypercars, heritage racing machines, and luxurious grand tourers, Ferrari reinforced its status as one of the most admired names in automotive performance at this year's Goodwood Festival of Speed.

The ‘Chemtrails' That Should Worry Us
BERLIN - FEBRUARY 07: An vehicle's exhaust pipe releases fumes on February 7, 2007 in Berlin, ... More Germany. The European Commission announced new carbon dioxide (CO2) targets for car makers which the European Automobile Manufacturers Association said it could not agree with, stating they are "unbalanced and damaging to the European economy in terms of wealth, employment and growth potential." (Photo by) Getty Images I recently wrote a piece debunking weather conspiracy theories. One of the featured topics was 'chemtrails.' Some people believe condensation trails ("contrails") coming out of airplanes are chemtrails being used to control the climate, our minds, or whatever. In that article, I explained what contrails are and pointed to scholarly evidence refuting 'chemtrail' narratives. However, a follower on one of my social media platforms made a great point. 'Chemtrails' that we should be concerned about are right in front of us everyday - exhaust from cars. LONDON, ENGLAND - MARCH 12: Two commercial airliners appear to fly close together as the pass over ... More London on March 12, 2012 in London, England. (Photo by) Getty Images According to a National Weather Service website, contrails are, 'Cloud-like streamers frequently observed to form behind aircraft flying in clear, cold, humid air.' They can be formed by water vapor that overcomes combustion heat or from aerodynamic pressure reduction from air flow around wing tips or propellors. Yes, I know this is not a perfect analogy, but on a cold day, our breath produces something similar to a contrail. TORONTO, ON - February 3 - The breath of a worker on Yonge St. can be seen in the air on a bitterly ... More cold day in Toronto. Lance McMillan/Toronto StarFebruary-3-2023 (Photo by Lance McMillan/Toronto Star via Getty Images) Toronto Star via Getty Images So what's in the exhaust fumes from an automobile? Most cars emit a chemical stew of things. Carbon dioxide, though non-toxic, is a primary contributor to climate warming and ocean acidification. Carbon monoxide is quite toxic, but new engines produce less of it than older cars. It can also interact with other constituents in the atmosphere to affect certain greenhouse gases like methane or ozone. Nitrogen oxides are inherent to most combustion engines and are contributors to photochemical smog. Sulfur dioxide can also contribute to air pollution. Other ingredients in the exhaust pipe 'stew' include hydrofluorocarbons (HFC) and benzene. FILE - In this Jan. 26, 2009 file photo, cars give off exhaust fumes in Montpelier, Vt. The state of ...

Diesel engines may actually emit small particles of metal and black soot. Laurence Allan wrote, 'Modern cars are fitted with diesel particulate filters (DPFs) to reduce the number of harmful particles being pumped out into the atmosphere.' Particulate matter can cause or amplify certain health ailments. FILE - Smog lingers over the city overlooking the Ports of Long Beach and Los Angeles as seen from ...

All rights reserved The EPA website noted, "The Clean Air Act, which was last amended in 1990, requires EPA to set National Ambient Air Quality Standards (40 CFR part 50) for six principal pollutants ("criteria" air pollutants) which can be harmful to public health and the environment." These pollutants are carbon monoxide, lead, ozone, nitrogen dioxide, sulfur dioxide, and particule pollution. Government regulations and recent trends in alternative energy transition have led to cleaner air. Clean Air Acts and EPA regulation have produced progress on cleaner air since 1990. EPA As for carbon dioxide, an EPA website pointed out the following facts: The average passenger car emits roughly 4.6 metric tons of carbon dioxide per year. The average passenger car emits aroud 400 grams of carbon dioxide per mile. Carbon dioxide emissions from one gallon of gasoline is 8,887 grams CO2. It is even slightly higher for diesel. Carbon dioxide values continue to rise globally, and climate continues to change, naturally and through these anthropogenic contributions. Trends in atmospheric carbon dioxide. NOAA

Solberg secures first WRC win in Estonia
Sweden's Oliver Solberg followed in his world champion father's footsteps as he claimed his first WRC victory in the Rally of Estonia on Sunday. The 23-year-old is the son of 2003 WRC champion Petter Solberg and was making his first appearance in the elite class since 2022. Solberg made the most of the opportunity handed to him by Toyota, who gave him the chance to drive one of their cars for this rally in the absence of eight-time world champion Sebastien Ogier. The Swede charged into the lead on Friday and never relinquished it on the high-speed gravel roads. He finished 25.2 seconds ahead of home favourite and 2019 world champion Ott Tanak. Reigning champion Thierry Neuville of Belgium came in third place. "After everything, so many years trying and trying and trying and dreaming, and me and (co-driver) Elliott (Edmondson) finally made it," said Solberg. "I just want to say thank you to Toyota, to the test team who helped me get so comfortable, for all the help this weekend from this beautiful, beautiful team. I've never had such a good time in my life." Tanak replaced Elfyn Evans at the top of the WRC standings, moving a point clear of the Welsh driver who ended the weekend in sixth place. jld/mw/ea

MotoGP Czech GP: How to watch
The main race of MotoGP's Czech Grand Prix is set to take place later today (20 July) after a dramatic and unpredictable sprint on Saturday. It saw the factory Ducati duo of Marc Marquez and Francesco Bagnaia hampered with tyre pressure problems, though the Spaniard ultimately won the contest. Marc continues to lead the standings with 356 points, while younger brother Alex Marquez sits in second with a tally of 261. Bagnaia completes the top three with 200 points. Bagnaia starts the grand prix from pole and will be hoping to not have the electronic woes that plagued his challenge in the sprint race. However, Marc starts alongside in second and his pace in the sprint was undeniable. Like Bagnaia, he also had tyre pressure problems but for different reasons, so the Ducati duo will be hoping to eradicate any such worries in today's main race. It's worth keeping an eye on the KTMs too, as both Pedro Acosta and Enea Bastianini showed impressive speed on their way to second and third place in the sprint race. When is the Czech MotoGP?
