Maserati Gransport MC Victory and Spyder make UK debut at Goodwood Festival of Speed

Maserati enthusiasts who attended the Goodwood Festival of Speed this year were entertained by a host of famous racing drivers of the present and the past who took it in turn behind the wheel of an amazing selection of Trident cars.

Maria Teresa De Filippis, the first woman ever to participate in a Formula One Grand Prix in 1958, was reunited with a Maserati 250F, which she raced during her Grand Prix career. She also drove a Maserati GranSport Spyder, at its UK debut, in the Supercar batch.

The GranSport MC Victory, also at its UK debut, was piloted by Christian Klien, the Red Bull Racing F1 driver, who enjoys a close association with Maserati, having a Maserati GranSport at his disposal throughout the F1 season. The GranSport MC Victory is a limited edition model, produced to celebrate Maserati’s victory of the FIA GT Championship in 2005.

The Maserati drivers’ line-up for Goodwood was completed by Supermodel Jodie Kidd, Troy Bayliss – the former World Superbike Champion – and Freddie Hunt, the son of legendary James Hunt, who made his debut behind the wheel of a race car. They all drove a Maserati Trofeo GranSport, which competes in the Trofeo Audemars Piguet Maserati Europe.
