Are you planning to attend the 2022 Goodwood Festival of Speed? The event is currently scheduled to run from June 23 through 26, 2022. Every year, it’s full of the kinds of bikes and cars that make gearhead hearts across the globe sing. The theme for this year’s event is “The Innovators—Masterminds of Motorsport,” and none other than Wayne Rainey is scheduled to make his event debut in 2022.
Not only will Rainey be a guest of honor, though. The three-time 500cc world champion will be riding his championship-winning 1992 Yamaha YZR500 up Goodwood’s famous hill climb. As longtime racing fans recall, Rainey had a horrifying crash at the 1993 Italian Grand Prix, which left him paralyzed from the chest down. Now, his 1993 YZR500 is being outfitted with special hand controls so that he’ll be able ride it once more.
