A Night to Remember: Goodwood Festival of Speed 2024 Fireworks and Chauffeur Reflections
The Magic of Goodwood Festival of Speed – A Chauffeur's Perspective
There are moments in our job at Plus Chauffeurs that truly stand out — moments that aren’t just about smooth transfers, immaculate vehicles, or punctuality. They're about the atmosphere, the setting, and the unexpected beauty that comes from waiting in the right place at the right time. The image above captures exactly that: one of our V-Class vehicles basking in the glow of a spectacular fireworks display during the 2024 Goodwood Festival of Speed.
As chauffeurs, we often find ourselves behind the scenes of some of the UK's most iconic events. And few are as prestigious, exhilarating, and historically rich as the Goodwood Festival of Speed. Set against the stunning backdrop of the Goodwood Estate in West Sussex, this annual celebration of automotive culture has been a standout fixture since 1993, drawing motoring fans, celebrities, and race teams from across the globe.
The 2024 event was no exception. A celebration of motorsport past, present, and future, it once again saw everything from vintage grand prix cars to cutting-edge electric prototypes tearing up the famous hillclimb. But as the engines fell silent and the stars of the track retreated, the sky came alive. The fireworks display that closed out the day was nothing short of breathtaking — and our driver had front row seats.
