There's Nothing Like Rallying in a Subaru WRX at the Goodwood Festival of Speed
The Goodwood Festival of Speed tends to conjure up images of the winding hillclimb past the Duke of Richmond's grand home, or perhaps the paddock filled with millions upon millions of dollars of sleek hypercars. But if you can make it past those attractions and march farther up the hill, a new world of delights awaits: the forest rally stage. For the uninitiated, if Formula 1 is the fine dining of motorsports with its spotless garages and giant luxury boxes, rallying is its food truck counterpart. It's deliciousness without pretense, where you can watch wildly modified vehicles from a mere few feet away while perched on a log in the woods. Instead of a gleaming garage area, there's a big group of dusty and noisy tents. The rally stage offers incredible access to not only the course and cars but the drivers, too.

Dua Lipa's Custom Porsche 911 GT3 RS Heads to Auction for Charity
Read the full story on Modern Car Collector A one-of-a-kind Porsche 911 GT3 RS designed by pop superstar Dua Lipa is heading to the auction block at the prestigious Goodwood Festival of Speed, with all proceeds benefiting the Sunny Hill Foundation, her nonprofit supporting arts and culture in Kosovo. Unveiled earlier this spring during the Monaco Grand Prix weekend, the custom Porsche—dubbed the 'Dua Lipa Rennstall GT3 RS'—features a vibrant livery that blends green, black, gold, and red swirls. The British-Albanian singer was directly involved in the creative process, giving Porsche's most track-oriented 911 a bold, personal touch. 10 Must-Have Tools and Gear for the Modern Car Collector (Amazon Edition) Built around the high-performance 992-generation 911 GT3 RS, the car boasts a 4.0-liter naturally aspirated flat-six engine capable of revving to 9,000 rpm. With 525 PS (518 horsepower) delivered to the rear wheels via a 7-speed PDK dual-clutch transmission, the Rennstall GT3 RS retains all the ferocity of its production sibling—paired with one-of-a-kind star power. Auction house RM Sotheby's is overseeing the sale, with the vehicle drawing attention from car collectors and pop culture enthusiasts alike.

'The Sunny Hill Foundation has always been close to my heart, and this project is a celebration of the culture and creativity it supports.'

Koenigsegg's New Hypercar Broke a Goodwood Speed Record
Koenigsegg's most radical hypercar ever, which the company unveiled just a few weeks ago, has already set a record. During this weekend's Goodwood Festival of Speed , the Sadair's Spear became the fastest road-legal production car to conquer the famous hillclimb. It completed the course in just 47.14 seconds, beating the previous record holder, the Czinger 21C , by 1.68 seconds. The Czinger set its record last year, snatching it from the Rimac Nevera that ran the course in 49.32 seconds in 2023. The Sadair's Spear is an even more hardcore version of the Jesko Attack . It uses the same twin-turbocharged 5.0-liter V-8 engine, but it can make up to 1,625 horsepower. It's also 77 pounds lighter, too, weighing 2,910 pounds dry. Despite Koenigsegg's concern about the car's weight, it still features wireless phone charging. Michelin Pilot Cup 2 tires are standard, measuring 275/35/20 at the front and 335/30/21 at the rear. Buyers can also upgrade to stickier Cup 2 R rubber. The car features revised aerodynamics that help improve downforce at lower speeds and the airflow to the engine and cooling systems, which the car appears to have taken full advantage of in its Goodwood run. Photo by: Koenigsegg Koenigsegg is producing only 30 examples of its new hypercar. It revealed the car to potential customers behind closed doors, selling out "instantly," so your chances of buying one are already gone. Maybe next time.
