                   In a statement, Goodwood Estate shared the information that they have signed a multi-year cooperation with global tire

                  Pirelli, renowned for its cutting-edge technology and high-end production, has been the exclusive tyre partner to F1 since
                  2011 and is also the unique supplier to the World Rally Championship. They will work with Goodwood to create a number

                  Pirelli will be present at the Goodwood Festival of Speed with two exhibition spaces that will illustrate key elements of the
                  company: 150 years of evolution in high-tech products, racing spirit, art and culture, and sustainability. One of the spaces
                   will be dedicated to the iconic P Zero family of tyres, where three new products will be previewed to mark the imminent
                                               renewal of Pirelli’s entire high end range.

                    Goodwood owner, The Duke of Richmond, said: “Pirelli has an outstanding reputation for excellence and innovation,
                   qualities that make them a welcome addition as a Goodwood partner. As the leader in the prestige tyre market and the
                  official supplier of tyres to F1, the pinnacle of motor racing, we are excited to have them on board for the 30th anniversary
                                                      of Festival of Speed.”

                   Marco Tronchetti Provera, Pirelli Executive Vice Chairman and CEO, said: “I’m pleased that Pirelli is partnering with the
                  Goodwood Festival of Speed. It is an excellent fit for us. As a market leader in high end tyres, Pirelli feels at home among
                  the world’s leading premium and prestige carmakers. This also goes for the Festival’s attention to motorsport, an area we

                 forms of sustainable mobility, as we are focused on developing new technologies to make mobility ever more sustainable.”
