Goodwood Festival of Speed 2005 - press release

Please find the official press release here:
------------------
PLEASE NOTE THAT THE DATES FOR THE 2005 GOODWOOD FESTIVAL OF SPEED HAVE BEEN REVISED. THE FESTIVAL OF SPEED WILL NOW TAKE PLACE ON:

24.25.26 JUNE 2005

The 2005 Goodwood Festival of Speed will now be held on 24.25.26 June due to a decision by the FIA to revise its Formula One Grand Prix calendar for next year. The Festival was to be held in July but the date has been revised so that there is no clash with the British Grand Prix at Silverstone.

The theme for next year's event is 'Racing Colours - National Pride and Culture', celebrating the essence of what makes the cars and motorcycles of different countries so typical of their makers' cultures, passions and skills. It's about what makes a Ferrari so typically Italian, and a Mercedes unquestionably German; it's about what characterises an American car or even an American driver, in contrast to his or her Japanese counterparts; it's about what makes French designs so blatantly 'Franco', and British creations quintessentially 'Anglo'. It's all about the world of national racing colours and national racing spirit.

Entry into the event will again be by advance ticket only, so visitors will need to ensure that they book in plenty of time so as to avoid any last minute disappointment. The change to advance ticket only policy has been implemented in order to preserve the Festival's unique relaxed atmosphere following a period of sustained growth. Our aim is, purely and simply, to ensure that all visitors enjoy excellent views of the action and the best possible experience at the event.
