Formula One star Lewis Hamilton wowed motorsport fans at the Goodwood Festival of Speed.

 Lewis Hamilton roared up the Goodwood circuit's famous hill climb in two McLaren super-cars before signing autographs for his fans.

Lewis Hamilton was joined by other racing legends past and present during the three-day event at Goodwood.  McLaren teammate Jenson Button also raced the McLaren MP4-12C up the hill despite hurting his knee falling off a jet ski.  Button said, 'I have never driven up here really quickly before.  This was the first time I really went for it and it was great fun.  I really enjoyed it.'

The festival attracted a host of celebrity names to the circuit on the Goodwood Estate, home to Lord March.  American chat show host Jay Leno made a return to the event, driving a 23.9 litre Napier Railton.  Leno said, 'Driving the car was a dream come true.  I had a photo of it on my wall when I was a kid.'  BBC Radio 2 presenter Chris Evans showed off his personal collection of seven Ferraris to raise money for 'Children in Need.'  Rock Legend Brian May of Queen was joined by West End star Kerry Ellis in a musical tribute to mark the centenary of the Indy 500.  Roger Taylor, Queen's drummer, judged rare cars taking part in the Cartier Concours d'Elegance.

Lord March opened the Goodwood Festival of Speed by getting behind the wheel of the pioneering electric Rolls Royce 102EX.  More than 175,000 motorsport fans soaked up the sunshine and the thrilling  sights and sounds of some of the most expensive cars in the world.  The fans were also treated to displays by the Red Arrows and a flypast by the last remaining Vulcan Bomber.

Stuntman and American rally driver Ken Block had earlier put on a tyre-smoking display in his Monster Ford.  Block performed a series of donuts on the track in front of thousands of cheering fans.  He said, 'I love to hoon around.  Lord March doesn't just tolerate me hooning, he positively encourages it!'
