Dougie Lampkin was once again the star of the show, as Goodwood release their latest promotional video to promote this year's Festival of Speed that will take place on the famous estate during 2nd, 3rd and 4th of July . The nearly six minute long movie was premiered in front of a select audience at private dinner hosted at Goodwood House last night, before being shown to members of the press at the media launch of the 2010 event earlier today.
Lampkin delivered a real after dinner shock for the star studded guest list last night, as he was secretly invited by Lord March to ride right along the fully laiden table as a finale to the evening. The ex twelve times FIM Trial World Champion sent glasses and plates flying everywhere, as he simulated a scene from the latest movie, which covers a whole host of unusual situations for the soon to be thirty-four year old. Lampkin make his Goodwood debut back in 2008 when the viral video of him riding around the famous house became a massive youtube hit ahead of his equally well received performance at the festival itself.
For this year's movie Dougie was given a much wider freedom of the beautiful Goodwood Estate, with the Beta factory rider visiting the house, the race course, the motor circuit, hotel and aerodrome all in his pursuit to find fellow World motorsport champions Jenson Button and Lewis Hamilton. The resulting movie has a hard act to follow after the success of the 2008 version, but the initial response to the sequel would suggest that this is going to be equally as widely viewed around the globe.
A very proud Lampkin explained. "It is great to be back at Goodwood, as it is a very special place and something uniquely English. I really enjoyed my time here in 2008 and was blown away by the sheer scale of the festival. It is a must for anyone who has any kind of interest in cars or bikes, both new and old."
"The video was filmed over three days this time, and took some doing I can tell you. It almost seems a shame that it has been edited down as there was so much good footage. Riding on top of the horse racing grandstand was a bit hairy at some points, and really left me shaking when I got back down on the ground." Dougie continued.
"Meeting Lewis and Jenson was definitely one of my high points and something I can tell the grand kids about in years to come. I would like to thank Lord March and the team for including me in their plans once again, and to say how much I am looking forward to being back here in July for the festival itself."
