Martini have partnered with the Goodwood Festival of Speed, with a record 14 Martini Racing machines coming together at the 20th anniversary of the famous hill climb event.

As well as 20 years of Goodwood, Martini will be celebrating 150 years with 10 of their 14 machines, representing 45 years of Martini racing, forming a display alongside the Formula 1 paddock.

The cars on display include the Lancia LC2, Porsche 917K, Jaguar XJ220, Ford Focus WRC and Porsche 911 GT3 cup car of former World Rally Champion, Sebastien Loeb in the opening rounds of the Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup.

“Partnering with one of the most famous motorsport events in the world is a wonderful moment of our 150 Anniversary celebrations,” said Martini Senior Global Category Director, Arnaud Meysselle. “At Goodwood, we look back over 45 years of Martini Racing with this incredible line-up of fourteen cars.

“Lord March and his team have created something very special in Goodwood Festival of Speed. This incredible line-up of Martini Racing cars is set to be a huge attraction. It wasn’t just the cars and famous drivers that made Martini Racing great. It was the courageous attitude of the teams, along with the belief and dedication of the fans that kept us winning. We’re looking forward to seeing this exquisite catalogue of Martini cars back in the unique paddock once again.”
