Lawson to drive at Goodwood Festival of Speed

Racing Bulls have announced that they will return to the 2025 Goodwood Festival of Speed, with the team’s Formula One driver, Liam Lawson set to drive a RB7 up the infamous Goodwood Hill.

Racing Bulls have confirmed that Liam Lawson will take on the iconic Goodwood hill climb in a RB7 wrapped in VCARB livery, driving alongside Red Bull’s longest-serving exhibition driver Patrick Friesacher, who will be running throughout the weekend joined by 13-time F1 Grand Prix winner David Coulthard.

Within the wider Red Bull family, Red Bull Sim Racing will have a presence in the dedicated Esports area of the Ballroom Paddock, supplying two sim rigs and the opportunity for fans to set a lap time on the Oracle Leaderboard against three-time F1 Sim Racing World Champion, Jarno Opmeer, who will be attending on Friday and Saturday. Two-time iRacing World Champion Sebastian Job will also be making an appearance on Sunday.

Red Bull’s RB17 will be on display in the main paddock for the duration of the festival weekend, giving Goodwood visitors a chance to view the Hypercar up close at the iconic event. Designed, developed, and manufactured entirely in-house by Red Bull Advanced Technologies and Adrian Newey, the RB17 combines exquisite design and breath-taking top speeds of more than 350 kph, with only 50 being produced.

Commenting on the announcement Peter Bayer, CEO of Visa Cash App Racing Bulls, said: “As we continue to celebrate the 75th anniversary of F1, we’re looking forward to returning to the Goodwood Festival of Speed alongside Oracle Red Bull Racing.

"I’m thrilled that Liam will be taking to the Goodwood hill climb as this will be an iconic moment to share among such passionate and dedicated motorsport fans.”
