Goodwood Motor Circuit: Interview with Gabriel Ludlow, Head of Motorsport Operations (Original English Version, Part 3)

Goodwood, County of Sussex. This is where speed, style and British
engineering excellence come together: the Goodwood Motor Circuit.
Where Royal Air Force planes once thundered across the skies,
classic race cars now glide over the tarmac — on a track that has
remained virtually unchanged since 1948. Among historic
grandstands, leather-wrapped steering wheels and the unmistakable
scent of fuel, motorsport history isn’t just told — it’s lived.
Here, enthusiasts, engineers, collectors and celebrities gather to
celebrate a shared passion: the thrill of speed. -- In this episode
of BRITPOD, Alexander-Klaus Stecher and Claus Beling rev up the
engines as they attend the legendary Goodwood Festival — a truly
special event where Bentley lovers arrive in their vintage vehicles
to celebrate their passion. The highlight of the day: every car
takes to the iconic Goodwood Motor Circuit, located right on the
grounds of Goodwood House. Their guest: Gabriel Ludlow, Head of
Motorsport Operations at Goodwood. Working behind the scenes, he
knows exactly why Goodwood is much more than just a destination for
vintage car fans. Together, they discuss the origins of the track,
the legendary Bentley Boys, technical challenges in vintage racing
and the delicate balance between tradition and sustainability. What
does it mean to operate a racetrack where vehicles over 100 years
old still compete? What are the plans for the future? And how do
you combine glamour, speed and environmental responsibility under
one helmet? BRITPOD – England at its best. -- Got ideas for the
