Audi UK has awarded Rapiergroup a two-year contract to deliver their Goodwood Festival of Speed Guest, Staff and Hospitality Management following a competitive pitch at the end of last year.

Goodwood is one of England’s greatest sporting estates and hosts the internationally famous Festival of Speed, one of the largest events in the British sporting and social calendar.
