EAGLE LOW DRAG GT: Technically brilliant, stylistically very close to perfect

FERRARI 308 GTB: High up the hill at Goodwood's rally stage, a Ferrari catches huge air

TOYOTA CELICA: Another rally legend, the Celica, was on the show's rally stage too

FORD FOCUS WRC: As campaigned by the late, great Colin McRae in the World Rally Championship

SUBARU IMPREZA 555: Another car formerly campaigned by Colin McRae hits the stage

LEXUS LC 500: Lexus' new coupé flagship has the engine note to match its looks

CHEVROLET MONTE CARLO NASCAR: A typically restrained effort from across the pond

LANCIA 037: Proof again that a Martini livery can make good looking cars look like supermodels

FIRE THEM UP: It's not just cars - there are motorbikes at Goodwood too. And planes. And helicopters. And drones...

ASTON MARTIN V8 VANTAGE: Not your usual rally car, but fast and effective nonetheless

FORD MUSTANG DRIFT CAR: If you're giving up smoking, don't come to Goodwood

MAZDA RX-7 DRIFT CAR: A common choice of drift car, if there is such a thing; this one has 510bhp

MERCEDES-BENZ CLK63 AMG BLACK SERIES: AMG's 50th anniversary is celebrated in style

FERRARI 641: Campaigned bin 1990 by Alain Prost; powered by a 3.5-litre V12

FORD GT: Ford's long-awaited supercar wowed crowds at its UK debut

MAD MIKE's MAZDA MX-5: Former MotoX racer Mad Mike Whiddett's MX-5 has a quad-rotor engine

MAD MIKE: No need to ask how he earned his nickname!

MCLAREN P1 LM: The road legal version of the P1 GTR; Nurburgring lap record time: 6m 43.2sec

LAMBORGHINI HURACAN PERFORMANTE: Another 'Ring king takes to Lord March's driveway

MERCEDES DTM RACER: Not your average Mercedes saloon

PORSCHE 911 GT3: Porsche's now second wildest car took to the hill; even with the arrival of the GT2 RS, it's no shrinking violet

NOBLE M600 SPEEDSTER: Noble's convertible. As loud as it is red

BMW M3 E30 TOURING CAR: A World and British Touring Car Championship winner

ASTON MARTIN DB11 V8: Aston's AMG V8-engined DB11 was unveiled at Goodwood. It's more nimble than the V12 - and still sounds ruddy terrific

BILL GOLDBERG: WWE wrestler Goldberg took to the hill in a Cessna V8 truck. He wasn't going to squeeze in an F1 car, was he?

BILL GOLDBERG: Getting ready to rumble (or whatever it is WWE wrestlers do)

FERRARI LAFERRARI FXX K: Ferrari's most extreme road-based car sets off. Spectacularly

LANCIA 037: A mid-engine sports car and rally car built by Lancia in the early 1980s. Still looks great

MG METRO 6R4: MG's legendary Metro 6R4 in the colours of rallycross ace Will Gollop

FERRARI FXX EVO: Smoke, engine roar, drama - this is the Ferrari that delivers it all

SINGER PORSCHE 911 TARGA: The Singer Targa wowed crowds as it swept up the hill

BENTLEY CONTINENTAL SUPERSPORTS: Bentley's quickest car yet, with a 0-62mph time of 3.4sec...

ALFA ROMEO 1750 GTA: 220bhp in a car that weighed just 780kg

GOODWOOD FESTIVAL 2017: Described as 'Glastonbury for cars' - but altogether less muddy this year, and more genteel

RENAULT 5 MAXI TURBO: Victory on the 1985 Tour de Corse cemented the legend

CHEVROLET CAMARO: Touring car racing came in all shapes and sizes in the 1970s; 5.7-litre V8 powered this racer

GOODWOOD SCULPTURE: Fans flocked to take in the sight of the central display

ALFA ROMEO 155 DTM: Alfas old and new are here, from this 155 DTM to the new Stelvio SUV road car

MERCEDES-BENZ CLK63 AMG BLACK SERIES: Part of Mercedes' celebrations for AMG's 50th anniversary

FERRARI 488 GT3: A smokey start for this Ferrari 488 GT3 pleased the crowd

FERRARI P3/4: The Ferrari P3/4 was intended to avenge Ford at Le Mans in 1967, but it couldn't overcome the might of the GT40s.

JAGUAR XF SV PROJECT 8: Fresh from its recent unveiling, the Jaguar XE SV Project 8 passes in front of Goodwood House

50 YEARS OF AMG: The raw power of a classic AMG Merc never gets old

FORD MUSTANG DRIFT: Well, a Mustang was never going to go up the hill in a straight line, was it?

RANGE ROVER VELAR: The all-new Range Rover Velar cocks a wheel on its way up the hill

Often the most noise at Goodwood is made by the classic bikes

FERRARI 312 B3: Ferrari's 1974 Formula One contender, the 312 B3, heas up the hill in the hands of its owner, Christian Knobloch.

BUGATTI TYPE 59: The Bugatti Type 59 proved too heavy for the new 750kg weight regulations introduced just after it was designed. The solution? Holes were drilled in the side members to reduce weight.

FIAT S76: The Fiat S76, better known as the Beast of Turin, wakes with a spurt of flame

Bonnet mascots: they just don't make them like they used to.

See what we mean?

MAZDA MX-5s: underpowered. Or not, in this case.

The action at the Festival of Speed isn't only on track.

It's safe to say this isn't your usual Range Rover

BAC MONO: The BAC Mono is one of Britian's most exclusive track day specials

MAZDA MX-5: More smoke from drifter Mad Mike Whiddett and his ballistic Mazda MX-5

LORRAINE DIETRICH: More smoke, though this time from the exhaust of the pre-war Lorraine Dietrich

BUGATTI CHIRON: The Bugatti Chiron strikes a pose.

ALFA ROMEO 155 DTM: The DTM-spec Alfa Romeo 155 from 1993 certainly doesn't lack menace...

MERCEDES-BENZ C-CLASS DTM: ...and neither did this 2005 C-Class DTM

FERRARI 512 BB: How do you make a Ferrari look even better? Simple: turn it into a racer.

FERRARI F60: The unmistakeable shape of a modern Ferrari F1 car. This one's an F60, from 2009...

FERRARI F2007: ...although this F2007 from, ahem, 2007, shows just how much things changed in two short years.

WILLIAMS FW14B: Red Five rides again. The 1992 Williams FW14B was piloted up the hill by Karun Chandhok.

MCLAREN-HONDA MP4/6: Once upon a time, the name 'McLaren-Honda' had very different connotations...

KAMAZ TRUCK: There's nothing quite like seeing a Kamaz go up the hill, is there?

TAMIYA SAND SCORCHER: Who wouldn't want this life-size recreation of the Tamiya Sand Scorcher radio-controlled car?

LOTUS 49: A Lotus 49 swings through one of Goodwood's corners; an evocative sight

LANCIA LC2: Heavy fuel consumption gave the Lancia LC2 an uphill struggle against its rival Porsche 956s.

LOTUS PRATT & WHITNEY 56: This incredible gas-turbine car came remarkably close to winning the Indy 500 in 1968, but its fuel pump gave out with just nine laps to go. Gas turbines were banned the following year.

Racers mix with true thoroughbreds on the Goodwood hillclimb

MAZDA RX-7: Proving why the 'Catch My Drift' class is named as it is, James Deane and his Mazda RX-7.

NISSAN GT-R: More smokey madness from Steve 'Baggsy' Biagioni and his Nissan GT-R.

RENAULT RS01: Although it had a reputation for poor reliability, this Renault RS01 was the first ever turbocharged Formula One car, paving the way for today's turbos

NISSAN 370Z: Turns out the Nissan 370Z makes a pretty decent drift car too.

FORD RS2000: Darth Ford-er, anyone? Sorry. Anyway, this RS200 looked fantastically evil.

SUBARU WRX: This Subaru looked understated, but was anything but when it made its way up the hill.

AUDI QUATTRO RS002: Now here's a special thing. An Audi Quattro RS002, the last remaining survivor of Audi's stillborn Group S mid-engined rally car project.

A Jeep, doing its thing on the hill. Never let it be said that the Festival of Speed is not a broad church.

Another shot of that fabulous Alfa 155 DTM. Because why not?

FORD CAPRI ZAKSPEED: Still think Capris are all about chest wigs and medallions? Well, you couldn't be more wrong.

FORD GALAXIE: A welcome slice of classic American in the form of the Ford Galaxie.

We could do that too, if we wanted to. We just don't want to. Ahem.

FERRRARI FXX: A smokey-as-FXX start.

Is there a better sight to cause a petrolhead's heart to flutter?

And here's another shot of that Ferrari 512 BB racer. Don't complain. We're spoiling you.

PAGANI HUAYRA: It's the Pagani H... Hu... the one that came after the Zonda.

JAGUAR E-TYPE LIGHTWEIGHT: Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. But if the beholder says this isn't beautiful, we'd have to take exception.

FORD MUSTANG: Another obligatory sideways Mustang shot.

Sparks fly as Mad Mike takes his MX-5 for another run.

When your wing-to-cockpit ratio is just right.

BMW E30 M3: Oh, for an E30 M3 in M Sport colours. This one's just perfect.

JAGUAR XJ220: Here's the Jaguar XJ220 racer that won its class at the 1993 24 Hours of Le Mans (before being disqualified a month later, but let's not go on about that...). You can read all about the roadgoing version in this week's Autocar. What are you waiting for? Oh, yes, the last couple of pics. You're allowed to wait for those.

FERRARI 166: See? Ferraris don't always have to be red.

ALPINE A110: And finally, a look to the future: the Alpine A110 heading up the hill.
