2025 Goodwood Festival of Speed

Goodwood is delighted to announce its partnership with Swiss watchmaker, TAG Heuer, as Official Timing Partner for the Festival of Speed presented by Mastercard.

The theme of the event for 2025 will be “The Winning Formula - Champions and Challengers” as a showcase to celebrate the 75th anniversary of the Formula 1 World Championship, and there could be no better talking point in the first year TAG Heuer returns to the Festival of Speed, as the watchmaker is now back as the Official Timekeeper to Formula 1.

TAG Heuer is renowned for its incredible connection to motorsport. With chronographs and timekeeping at the heart of the company, premieres including the first dashboard mounted chronograph in 1911, the first 1/100th second chronograph in 1916, the first commercially available automatic chronograph in 1969, relationships with the great teams, drivers and racing disciplines, there is no other watchmaker with a deeper connection to motor racing.

To celebrate the return of TAG Heuer, a special watch has been created paying homage to the relationship. Taking the renowned TAG Heuer Carrera Chronograph as its basis, powered by the in-house TH20-00 movement in a 42 mm case, the TAG Heuer Carrera Chronograph x Festival of Speed plays on codes from British automotive culture.

Featuring a dial in British racing green inspired by the eponymous Goodwood Green and sophisticated hobnail texture, complemented by red accents, and a brown leather rally strap that speaks of the golden era of motor racing in the 1970s, the watch will be a limited edition of 100 pieces that will be initially offered to Members of the Goodwood Road Racing Club, before going on general sale.

“Motorsport is not just about the competition, it is a cultural force, just like TAG Heuer, and we are honoured to return as Timing Partner at the Goodwood Festival of Speed” said Antoine Pin, CEO of TAG Heuer. “Celebrating the artist expression of the automotive universe and those who shape it, while providing a moment to look to the future of innovation in the industry, we could think of no better event to partner with and share our passion for these topics.”

The Duke of Richmond CBE DL said: “TAG Heuer has the most incredible connection to motor racing, and boasts an illustrious history, working with some of the greatest drivers and teams in the sport. I am absolutely delighted to welcome them back to the Festival of Speed as our Official Timing Partner, and that we will realise our shared passion for motorsport with the creation of a special Festival of Speed watch which takes its inspiration from the great British motorsport tradition.”

Friday, Saturday and Sunday tickets for the Festival of Speed are now sold out, with limited Thursday tickets remaining at goodwood.com.
