    OCTOBER 16-18, 2020 OFFICIAL RACE CARD FOREWARD BY THE DUKE OF RICHMOND WELCOME TO SPEEDWEEK FOREWARD BY Welcome everyone to Goodwood SpeedWeek THE DUKE OF presented by Mastercard. Now, at last, we RICHMOND can fire up those engines and go racing, and so bring our motorsport season spectacularly back to life. Of course, I am very sad and disappointed that you cannot be at the circuit with us but, let me assure you, it’s going to be an utterly unique and memorable event and you won’t miss a minute of the action on all three days. Ironically, because we have to stage the event behind closed doors, we are able to create a spectacle that we would normally never dream of doing. As a live and interactive TV show, SpeedWeek will be brought to you in a way that has never been seen before in motorsport broadcasting. The live stream, and the ITV coverage, will be free to air and will take you right into the heart of the event with all the race action, interviews with the drivers and coverage of the new rally stages, the Shootout for the fastest lap of the circuit, and a sensational celebration of 70 years of Formula 1. SpeedWeek combines many of the best elements of the Members’ Meeting, the Festival of Speed and the Revival, plus some new and exciting content that will see the cars using parts of the circuit that are way beyond the track limits. The Shootout for fastest lap will see modern machinery on the circuit, something we’ve never been able to do before.
