Goodwood's annual Festival of Speed got underway yesterday on the immaculate lawns and property of the good Charles Gordon-Lennox, 11th Duke of Richmond.

This year's central feature, designed by Gerry Judah and depicted here in this amazing night shot by UK freelance photographer Jon Nicholson, marks the 70th anniversary of Aston Martin's first race at Goodwood and the 60th anniversary of its historic 1959 World Sportscar Championship.

But the massive selection of high-octane historic machines and the speed kings that will be driving them up the hill is why motorsport fans will be converging to Goodwood this weekend.

You'll find details of the event, a timetable and live coverage right here.
