Goodwood opened its doors to 200,000

spectators for its annual Festival of Speed

and FoS Future Lab. Cartier MD Laurent

Feniou hosted a competition on the lawn of

the Goodwood Estate for the 2019 Cartier

winner award.

Guests included champions of the

automotive industry such as Daniel

beautiful automobile” was Nicholas Edel

with his 1950 Abarth 205 Monza.
