One of the highlights of the Goodwood Festival of Speed weekend, which kicks off today, has got to be the Michelin Pit Stop Challenge.
Michelin tyres provide entertainment for motoring enthusiasts at the Goodwood Festival of Speed
The tyres company has organised a stand with a replica racing car, fully tooled up and ready for everyone to have a go at changing the wheels.
Hosted by motoring journalist and broadcaster Victoria Macmillan Bell, the Challenge will pit teams against one another in a race to change the wheels on the car – prizes will be given for the best times of the day.
According to Victoria: “Tutored by a team of Michelin experts, the Pit Stop Challenge is open to everyone, and I’d encourage anybody to have a go and see how difficult it is to change a wheel in anything like a respectable time.
“The race is on and I’ll see you there!”
The Pit Stop Challenge is just one of the great events being organised for the three-day motoring bonanza.
For motor racing fans in particular, four times Formula One World Champion Alain Prost will be appearing this year, joining a host of drivers whose careers are closely associated with Michelin.
Prost, whose outstanding time in Formula 1 resulted in four titles, 51 victories, 33 pole positions and 106 podium finishes between 1980 and 1993, grew up racing on Michelin tyres.
