Alfa Romeo will attend the "Goodwood Festival of Speed 2014", which will be held from 26 to 29 June in the British county of West Sussex, one of the most important international events dedicated to motorsport. Every year the Festival, with its uphill race, theme shows, vintage displays and exhibitions of historic and contemporary cars, attracts over 150,000 people including fans, collectors and experts from all over the world.

For the occasion, a great Alfa Romeo booth will be set up so that the public can get to know the new Alfa Romeo 4C, the new versions of Giulietta and MiTo Quadrifoglio Verde, as well as five precious historic cars belonging to the Museo Storico Alfa Romeo , placed in the Cathedral Paddock: Gran Premio Tipo B “P3” (1932), Gran Premio Tipo 159 “Alfetta” (1951), 750 Competizione (1955), Giulietta SZ “truncated tail” (1960) and GTA 1300 Junior (1971).

All Alfa Romeo cars will have to face the main attraction of the Festival of Speed, the "mixed-fast" track of Goodwood Hillclimb. This course of almost 2 km opens with a tree-lined run through the southern corner of the Goodwood Estate, before turning sharply in front of Goodwood House. Thereafter the course climbs up a straight, narrow road enclosed between stone walls and dense woods towards the racecourse, which stands at the top of the majestic South Downs. The height difference between the beginning and end of the route is nearly 100 m and the route itself is so technical and difficult that it provides a tough test for the concentration and reactions of the best drivers in the world.
