Sporting: Goodwood Festival of Speed 2006

With a display of cars spanning the 100 years between its first and most recent grand prix victories, Renault celebrated its motor racing heritage in spectacular fashion with this central feature at the 2006 Goodwood Festival of Speed.

The structure comprised a 120m perimeter 400mm diameter steel tubing from which the fabric membrane was connected and tensioned via cuff brackets and stainless steel rigging screws.

Fabrication of the 1200 sq m membrane which weighed in at approximately 1.2 tonnes was completed in just over 2 weeks. Installation and removal of the temporary structure were both carried out by Intension.
