The Verge:

The starting line is just ahead of us, and the guy behind the wheel of this 650-horsepower muscle car is showing off for the crowd. We’re spinning the tires, doing burnout after burnout. Ostensibly it’s warming them for a quick blast up the 1.16-mile hill climb, but really it’s to show off. This is what the Goodwood Festival of Speed is about.

It’s glorious. And I think I can safely say that this event, held every year in the south of England, is the greatest car show in the world. I’ve been to a lot of car shows, and none of them are like this.

Goodwood is high on my automotive bucket list.
