Singer to Star at Goodwood Festival of Speed 2026
Goodwood is delighted to announce that Singer will take centre stage at the 2026 Festival of Speed presented by Mastercard, as the marque receives the Central Feature display.
The Festival of Speed’s Central Feature, situated in front of Goodwood House, has become synonymous with the bold, innovative sculptures by Gerry Judah. The 2026 installation will again act as the focal point for a daily celebration moment. It will come to life with a celebratory fanfare and a collection of cars that honour Singer’s impact on the automotive world.
Rob Dickinson founded Singer in 2009, and the company has built a global following with a unique point of view. Singer is renowned for reimagining the classic Porsche 911 and for blending iconic design with cutting-edge engineering, material science and craftsmanship. Each Porsche 911 Reimagined by Singer follows the company’s simple but powerful mantra: Everything is Important.
Singer will extend its presence beyond the Central Feature, and visitors will be able to explore Singer’s stand in front of the Stable Yard. They will also be able to see the cars on display in the Supercar Paddock and watch them in action on the famous hillclimb course. Activations across the event will showcase the company’s evolution and the latest innovations from its teams in California and the UK.
Singer has chosen the Goodwood Festival of Speed to unveil its latest ideas in recent years. It debuted DLS (2018), Classic Turbo (2022), DLS Turbo (2023) and, most recently, the Porsche 911 Carrera Coupe Reimagined by Singer (2025). Each model made its public debut on the hillclimb, delighting fans.
Rob Dickinson, Singer’s Founder, Executive Chairman and Creative Director, said: “I was at the first Festival of Speed in 1993 during a break from touring with the band and never imagined my life would take the twists and turns that resulted in my fledgling design company being invited to attend in 2015. The Festival of Speed has kept us incredibly honest in the decade that followed. Knowing that our work will debut each year on an ever-larger world stage has repeatedly focused our minds and demanded rigour in everything we do. From the cars themselves to the way we connect with the automotive community, striving to impress the hundreds of thousands of enthusiasts who gather at The Duke of Richmond’s amazing event has been incredibly important in shaping our work. So, to be chosen as the featured marque in 2026 is both startling, humbling and oddly appropriate all at once. We’re a Californian company, but we’re also a very, very British one, and to be celebrated in such company and surroundings is an absolute honour.”
Mazen Fawaz, Singer’s Chief Strategy Officer, said: “I’ve been driving 911s up the Goodwood Hill for over 10 years now (special thanks to all the owners who’ve let me ruin their tyres!). Singer has grown up at the Festival of Speed, and we’re really having to pinch ourselves that this is happening. The team at Goodwood has created a unique event, and I can’t wait to be back at the start line, trying to see through a cloud of tyre smoke again.”
Raj Nair, Singer’s Chief Executive Officer, said: “It’s an exciting year for us. The first DLS Turbo restorations are being received and driven by their owners, we’ve launched the Porsche 911 Carrera Cabriolet Reimagined by Singer, and we have the Goodwood Festival of Speed to look forward to this summer. It’s Singer’s eleventh year at this fantastic event, and we’re honoured by the invitation to create an exciting celebration as the Central Feature marque.”
The Duke of Richmond CBE DL, said: “Singer has been an immensely popular partner of Goodwood for over a decade, regularly using the Festival of Speed to unveil their latest work. The design and detail of their incredible, bespoke creations is matched only by the quality of the engineering that underpins them; they really are as close to art as you can get in the modern automotive world. It is therefore wonderfully fitting to see this extraordinary craft celebrated through one of Gerry Judah’s monumental sculptures.”
Goodwood will announce further details about the Festival of Speed presented by Mastercard and Singer’s presence at the event in the coming months.
