Festival of Speed Prize-Giving results 2021

But ultimately, only one car could take the crown per class. And despite Harry King’s best efforts in the Porsche 911 GT3 Cup, and David Wright sending it on the rally stage in his Ford Focus RS WRC '01, there were alas no prizes for style – well, not in this competition at least. We’ve already brought you that, in the form of the Cartier Style and Luxe winners…

Now, read the results of the Hillclimb, Rally stage, Off-road Arena and special awards below. From legendary drivers such as Emanuele Pirro, who took the GT cars from 1960-1969 class in the equally iconic Ferrari 250 GT SWB ‘Breadvan’, to the up-and-coming Jake Hill who won the Touring Cars 1991–2021 class in his Nissan Skyline GT-R R32, the breadth of talent was awe-inspiring.

A huge thank you must of course go to everyone who participated – competitors or otherwise – for the Festival would not have happened without you.
