This year's Goodwood Revival honoured one of the greatest names in motor racing history, Juan Manuel Fangio, who competed at Goodwood in the 1950s and so Maserati brought the 250 F to the event last weekend to play its part in the tribute.

Maserati was once again present as a sponsor of the 13th edition of the Goodwood Revival meeting, which saw over 100,000 spectators attending over the course of last weekend.

This year’s event honoured one of the greatest names in automotive history, Juan Manuel Fangio, who competed at Goodwood in 1952 and ’53. 2011 marks the 100th anniversary of the Argentinean legend’s birth, whose name is linked to Maserati as he won a Formula One world championship title with a 250 F in 1957.

Several track parades in his honour took place throughout the weekend, featuring many cars that travelled from all over the world especially for the Goodwood Revival meeting. Formula One legends including John Surtees, Maria Teresa de Filippis (the first woman to race in Formula One) and Sir Stirling Moss, who celebrated his 82nd birthday during the course of the event, were all in attendance to pay their tribute to Fangio.

Away from the on-track action, Maserati exhibited in the Earls Court Motorshow, recreating the glamour of an authentic 1960s show. A stunning Maserati Mistral Spyder alongside a Quattroporte Mk I wowed the spectators, whilst they were offered a glimpse of Maserati’s “cars of the future” in the form of the GranCabrio and Quattroporte Sport GTS, evolutions of the 1960s models.

On Sunday 140 Maserati clients were treated to hospitality at Goodwood House, where Maserati hosted its annual Goodwood Revival lunch. The display on the lawn in front of Goodwood House featured all the cars in the Maserati range, including the new GranTurismo MC Stradale. Inside the house, guests could see a display of jewels featuring rare Argyle pink diamonds courtesy of Calleija of Bond Street.
