For a lot of motoring fans, the excitement starts as early as the public car park, with a whole host of rare and exciting metal turning up for the occasion. 

Goodwood's organisers have helped make car spotters' jobs easier in recent years, opening a dedicated performance car park for drivers of powerful or exotic machines to congregate in one place, close to one of the Festival's main entrances.

In case you weren't able to make it to Goodwood this year, we've sent out our snappers to capture the best cars out there, so be sure to click through to the end of the gallery. We've listed our opinion on the cars, and prices. Prices are base prices for a new model from manufacturers as listed today, for UK and US markets. Used prices are lowest-price samples taken from today, again for UK and US. 

First off, McLaren’s latest hypercar. Named after Ayrton Senna, isn’t hard to spot in the carpark thanks to that ginormous wing.
