Mazda takes the central stage on the lawns in front of Goodwood House, thanks to Gerry Juda’s stunning 120-tonne, 40-metre high sculpture.
The towering vision is wowing the crowds at the Moving Motor Show today (June 25), which has kicked off a thrilling weekend for petrol heads.

“We succeeded with an elegant and graceful system.”
On Saturday and Sunday, Mazdas will gather at the base of the sculpture before proceeding to the start line for their run up the hill.
The structure features Mazda’s Kodo design philosophy - curving high-tensile materials which have been incorporated into the bodywork of the new MX-5 and even Mazda’s logo.
