The Goodwood Festival of Speed takes place this weekend (Friday 11th – Sunday 13th) at the Goodwood Estate near Chichester, West Sussex.
Which Day? For photography the Friday Enthusiasts Day is ideal, most of the cars will be out on the hill but the crowds are usually smaller than at the weekend (although it’s still very very busy)…it’s also cheaper.
Ideal Lens? Whatever you’ve got, basically, although anything over 300mm is pretty pointless. There are plenty of locations along the Hillclimb where 200mm will be more than enough so a 80-200 or 70-300 would be the ideal option. Remember a shorter lens for all the static displays as well.
Must visit: The “Yump” on the rally stage, you will only need a 50mm lens (at the most) to capture the action at this popular point on the stage.
Focal Length: 50mm / Shutter Speed: 1/250
