Summary

Steeped in nostalgia, Goodwood Motor Circuit in West Sussex started life as an RAF base before its first race in 1948. It's one of the fastest, most challenging tracks in the UK. Home to the world-famous Revival, Members' Meeting and Festival of Speed, its reputation for putting on automotive spectacles is unmatched. On this week's episode, Charlotte Vowden and Amy Heynes, go behind the scenes with four members of the Goodwood Motor Circuit Content Team, who are responsible for organising the events, to find out what it takes to make the magic happen. Each of them is living their best life in dream jobs; this episode is divided into two parts. First, you'll hear from Megan Godfrey, Event Content Manager, and Matt Hearn, Head of Event Content, then buckle up for a few laughs with Daisy Callanan, Senior Motorsport Content Planner, and Craig Venn, Event Content Manager. From VIP requests to bringing the Duke of Richmond's ambitious visions to life, this episode gives you the inside scoop, with a few surprises! _______________________________________________ The Driven Podcast brings you motoring-focused discussions, observations from the automotive world, and interviews in which we explore our guests' careers, exploits, and anything else worth discussing.
