Mansell lured to Goodwood

Former World Champion and latter-day Grand Prix Masters hero Nigel Mansell has been lined up for this year’s Goodwood Festival of Speed.

Mansell will drive up the Sussex hill on July 7-9 in a 1982 Lotus 91 (similar to that in which he finished third at the Brazilian GP above) and a yet-to-be-nominated Williams F1 racer.

Festival of Speed organiser the Earl of March said: “Nigel is an all-time British hero and a great ambassador for motorsport. I am sure his fans will relish the chance to see him drive his famous old cars and give him a fantastic welcome.”
