What's the news?

Mazda will be looking to entertain the crowds at this year's Goodwood Festival of Speed, and not just by demonstrating the gorgeous new MX-5 sports car at the now-legendary racing car event.

A new section of the Festival, called Raise the Roof, will take place over the four days of Goodwood and will cater for those looking for a musical interlude from all of the engine noise.

Located in the gorgeous Goodwood stable yard, the acts will range from brass bands to a flute player who sounds like a beatbox. Yes, seriously. It's all free to anyone attending the Festival or the Moving Motor Show, which accompanies it, and there will be separate stages, a bar and an MX-5 'experience zone.' Live acts will be on stage from Thursday afternoon, on the 25th of June through to Sunday the 28th and it's all hosted by UK radio DJ Tom Ravenscroft.
