The hill
1.16 miles
For the rest of the year it is a driveway through the Goodwood estate. Since 1993 it has been the hill: 1.16 miles past the front of Goodwood House, between straw bales and a flint wall, climbing about 93 metres.
Sunday afternoon
The Shoot-Out
Most runs up the hill are for show. The Timed Shoot-Out is not: the fastest cars of the weekend go up one at a time, slowest first, and whoever sets the best time is welcomed on to the balcony of Goodwood House.
2026 winner
41.97 seconds
Romain Dumas took the Ford Super Mustang Mach-E to the top in 41.97 seconds, his third Shoot-Out win in a row. Dan Ticktum, in the newly launched Formula E Gen4 car, had set the target at 42.46.
The record
39.08 seconds
The fastest run ever recorded on the hill: 39.08 seconds, set in 2022 by Max Chilton in the McMurtry Spéirling, an electric fan car that sucks itself to the road.
