Jaguar Land Rover is driving footfall to its stand at this year’s Goodwood Festival of Speed with a specially-commissioned exclusive digital Top Trumps App for Festival visitors, covering both the Jaguar and Land Rover marques.

The Jaguar Land Rover Top Trumps app is available for iOS and Android from July 9th, and players will be able to compete against each other for a ranking on a live leaderboard as well as the chance to win daily prizes including trip for two to the Ice Drive Academy in Sweden, including flights, tuition and luxury accommodation, year’s membership of a David Lloyd Club for two or £200 to spend in the Jaguar Land Rover boutique.

Visitors to the Festival will receive a Super Top Trumps card (a card that can be added to a Top Trumps pack) when they enter. This card will encourage them to go to the Top Trumps area situated within the JLR stand and download the app via Wi-Fi to receive their exclusive JLR pack of Top Trumps. They can also book test drives and order brochures, while JLR will use the opportunity to capture data on interested visitors.

The app has two games, a single player mode called the Goodwood Challenge and, a Multi-player Shootout.

The Goodwood Challenge will feature a live leader board, with the highest ranked players in line to win the daily prizes. Players will also have the opportunity of boosting their leader board scores by viewing JLR’s cars on the stand and in the paddock.

The Multi-player Shootout enables players to challenge other players randomly or by username.

JLR worked with the owner of the Top Trumps brand, games company Winning Moves, which owns IP rights to a number of classic games in the UK, Europe, South Africa, North America and Australasia. As well as owing the hugely popular Top Trumps brand, Winning Moves has a license from Hasbro which allows it to create special versions of games such as Monopoly, Cluedo, Trivial Pursuit, Connect 4 and Guess Who, which are often used in promotional campaigns. Winning Moves has worked with companies including Shell, Sky News, McDonald’s, Kerry Foods, Ferrero, Mirror Group Newspapers, Singapore Airlines, BMW, Peugeot, BT TV, Hovis, British Gas, Merlin Entertainment, Metro Group, Cadbury’s, Nestlé Purina, Coca-Cola and Weetabix.

Located alongside the Jaguar Land Rover stand will be Jaguar’s F-TYPE Drift Experience, allowing fans to see, hear and feel the raw performance of a Jaguar sports car drifting in the hands of a professional driver. The experience will be running throughout the show, accessed from the Jaguar Land Rover stand.

Jeremy Hicks, Jaguar Land Rover UK Managing Director, says: “This year at Goodwood Festival of Speed we’re celebrating everything that the modern Jaguar brand is about; stunning design, innovation, heritage and incredible performance. From F-PACE SVR roaring up the hill and F-TYPE on the drift track to the XJ50 and all-electric I-PACE on the Jaguar Land Rover stand, we’re looking forward to putting on an astonishing show for all Festival of Speed visitors.”

The 5.0-litre supercharged V8 F-PACE SVR will be tackling the Goodwood hillclimb at its UK debut, as will the most powerful Jaguar ever – the 600PS XE SV Project 8 and the Invictus GT4 Racing F-TYPE SVR. Festival of Speed visitors will also have their first opportunity to see the Jaguar XJ50, a special-edition model designed to celebrate 50 years of the iconic XJ saloon. The XJ50 will appear alongside Jaguar’s revolutionary new I-PACE all-electric SUV on the Jaguar Land Rover stand, as part of the brand’s largest ever presence at Festival of Speed. The company is also celebrating the 70th birthday of the Land Rover.

BMW is going back to the future for its stand at this weekend’s Goodwood Revival historic motor race meeting. As the whole theme of the Goodwood Revival event celebrates motor racing during the 20 years immediately after the end of the SWecond World War – up to 1966 – BMW’s stand features a retro 1950s prediction of what the future (today) might look like.

Visitors will have a rare opportunity to see the stand’s main attraction: the BMW 507. This limited-edition model was produced by BMW from 1956 to 1959, with only 250 ever coming off the production line. The roadster on display is worth over £2million. Also on display will be the archetypal ‘bubble car’, the BMW Isetta, acclaimed as the very best microcar of its time.

The Future Area consists of two experiences, created for BMW by event and experiential agency TRO. One is an immersive projection dome with a futuristic seating area where visitors will be invited to use Virtual Reality headsets to view BMW’s Vision 2016 car. Guests will also be able to check out the innovative all-electric BMW i3 and BMW i8 – epitomising visionary travel for our generation.

The stand will be located in Earls Court Motor Show Arena, where the finest brands in the world juxtapose their classic models with the latest in their production line. BMW staff will be dressed in 1950s costumes with a futuristic twist.

Georgina Emery, BMW Group UK Events Manager, says: “We are thrilled to be returning to Goodwood Revival this year. The event is a wonderful celebration of period motorsport and it presents a great opportunity for us to engage with such a unique audience. TRO has designed and created a fantastic stand experience which enables us to exhibit our heritage, historic models and present-day product.”

TRO Client Services Sian Bates Director adds: “It’s been really exciting to work with BMW on such a landmark event as Goodwood Revival. We have focused on creating a experience which is both relevant and engaging, and we are really looking forward to seeing the production come to life.”

TRO is a specialist experience agency with over 400 people creating award-winning brand experiences from 16 offices in 11 countries across the world in Europe, Asia and Austr
