McQueen, McMissile to visit Goodwood

June 07,2011

The Goodwood Festival of Speed is a live auto show, a motorsport fan’s dream weekend—at its essence, it’s the world’s ultimate toy event. This year, a couple of toys will themselves come to life at the Festival: the two main characters of Pixar’s upcoming Cars 2 movie—in all their life-size glory—Lightning McQueen and Finn McMissile. This nixes the chances of Lewis Hamilton driving his namesake, unless the crew from McLaren can do something about it.

Here’s more from the Festival:

In just five weeks time two life-size characters from the brand new movie from Disney / Pixar, Cars 2, will be making their British debut at the Goodwood Festival of Speed and Moving Motor Show, being held in the spacious park land of Goodwood House from 30 June until 3 July.
The Festival of Speed is firmly established as the world’s greatest celebration of the history of motor sport and car culture, making it the ideal event for popular Cars film hero Lightning McQueen to cruise into Goodwood for a visit, accompanied by his new secret agent accomplice Finn McMissile.

Children from five to 55 will be able to engage with Disney / Pixar’s life-size race car star Lightning McQueen, and be introduced to the latest Cars 2 movie character Finn McMissile; a British Intelligence agent, voiced by legendary actor Sir Michael Caine.

The Cars 2 character vehicles will be located opposite Goodwood House – with its imposing Jaguar E-Type structure – and near the track where over 350 vehicles and 90 star driver and riders, including nine current F1 teams, Jenson Button, Mark Webbers and many others, will be live in action. Lightning McQueen and Finn McMissile will add to the many and various attractions at Goodwood to keep younger members of the family entertained. Festival entry for children 12 and under is free, with young adults (13-18) getting in for half price.
