Watch Live: Adrian Newey’s RB17 Hypercar Debuts at 2026 Goodwood Festival of Speed

The 33rd annual Goodwood Festival of Speed is officially tearing through the Goodwood Estate in West Sussex right now. Running from July 9 through July 12, the four-day motorsport celebration is broadcasting its daily live stream to global fans. Viewers are tracking the action across the iconic 1.16-mile hill climb course and the dedicated Forest Rally Stage. It all builds toward the highly anticipated Sunday Timed Shoot-Out Finale.

This year features a specific historical focus. The 2026 theme is “The Rivals – Epic Racing Duels.” Organizers designed the weekend to highlight the fiercest battles in motorsport history. That includes a 50th-anniversary tribute to the 1976 Formula 1 championship fight between James Hunt and Niki Lauda. The grounds are also hosting a reunion of the Ford GT MkII hypercars that swept the 1966 Le Mans 24 Hours, according to AutoGuide.

But the real draw for the modern crowd is happening on the tarmac. Adrian Newey’s final Red Bull design is finally breaking cover. The RB17 hypercar is making its public debut on the hill climb, sharing the schedule with active Formula 1 machinery. McLaren’s Lando Norris is taking the wheel of the 2023 MCL60 challenger for a sprint up the hill, PlanetF1 verified.

And the automotive debuts do not stop there.

Audi, Lamborghini, and Gordon Murray are all bringing new vehicles to the hillclimb, detailed by Motor1 in their live stream hub. Honda is running its Prelude HRC Concept up the same stretch of asphalt. Damon Hill is out of retirement for the weekend to drive the Williams Honda FW11. That run marks the 40th anniversary of Honda securing its first F1 Constructors’ Championship back in 1986. The broadcast continues through Sunday afternoon.
