05/06/2006 - Honda’s young MotoGP star to shine at Goodwood

CASEY STONER - ONE of Honda’s up-and-coming young talents in MotoGP - will be one of the two-wheeled attractions at this year’s Goodwood Festival of Speed. The young Australian, who raced in the UK and won the 2001 British 125cc title, will be riding his Team LCR RC211V at the prestigious event.

He will be joined by a host of Honda stars over the weekend of July 7th-9th , including 2004 World Superbike champion James Toseland and his Winston Ten Kate Honda Fireblade and HM Plant teamsters Karl Harris and Ryuichi Kiyonari on their Honda Racing CBR1000RRs.

The Goodwood Festival of Speed has been a major event in the motorsports calendar for more than a decade. It is a hill-climb event that marries the current Earl of March’s love of motorsports on two and four wheels with a passion for the history of racing cars and motorcycles. It’s all set in the glorious grounds of Goodwood, near Chichester in West Sussex.
