Can you believe it’s August already? The Festival of Speed presented by Mastercard is but a distant memory, with all eyes now on the fast-approaching 2019 Revival.

But before we wash our hands of July, let’s take one last look back at the content that made GRR tick, from awesome hillclimb action to in depth Festival features.

Kamaz Dakar Truck

This 1,150hp Kamaz Dakar truck was one of the coolest things on four wheels at the Festival this year, despite not yet having made it to the Dakar. I climbed inside the cab with its pilot, and five Dakar Rally champion, Eduard Nikolaev.

Volkswagen ID.R sets new outright Goodwood Hill record

It’s no surprise that, fresh from smashing the Nürburgring EV lap record, Volkswagen’s ID.R repeated the feat on the Goodwood hillclimb, crossing the line in just 39.9 seconds – a full 1.7 seconds faster Nick Heidfeld’s 1999 McLaren MP4/1 run.

Gallery: 60 years of Honda motorcycle racing at FOS

One for the bikers among us. It has been 60 years since Honda’s debut TT entry, and the Japanese manufacturer has grown to dominate motorcycle racing. Why? Take a look at the exquisite machinery on display at the Festival and you may get an inkling…

GRR garage: A family gathering for our Ford Fiesta ST

We’ve been running a Mk8 Ford Fiesta ST for the last two months, and, as you may have learned, we absolutely love it. But the current ST wouldn’t be as good as it is were it not for Ford’s previous hot Fiestas, so team GRR took the ST to meet its forefathers…
