Williams confirms iconic reunion with World Champion Hill at Goodwood

The British team will be celebrating 30 years since Hill became champion of the world in the pinnacle of motorsport, and as a result, the championship-winning FW18 will be driven up the Goodwood hill throughout the weekend.

The FW18 became one of the more dominant cars in F1 history, winning 12 out of the 16 races in 1996 to deliver Williams its eighth Constructors' Championship.

After driving Nigel Mansell's FW14B last year, Vowles will once again get behind the wheel, while Williams Reserve Driver Luke Browning and WEC driver Jamie Chadwick will also be a part of Williams' celebrations this weekend.

“Goodwood is an incredibly special event that showcases the best of British motorsport, and it’s an honour to be taking on the hillclimb alongside Damon, Jamie and Luke this year," Vowles said in a press release after the news was announced.

Williams Ambassador Hill, who will also be honoured on the balcony of Goodwood House on Saturday, June 11, was also very excited to get behind the wheel to climb up the world-famous hill: “I am delighted and very excited to be reunited with my championship-winning FW18 and Williams, who made it all possible at this summer's Festival of Speed.
