Goodwood Festival of Speed cancels Saturday events due to weather

The Goodwood Festival of Speed will not hold events as planned Saturday for the first time in its 30-year run due to concerns over high wind, the organizers announced late Friday. Concerns over the potential for damage to temporary structures prompted the late cancellation after a long Friday of (appropriately?) dreary British weather promised to worsen ahead of Saturday's competition.

Saturday ticket holders will be refunded, event organizers said, and Sunday's events will go on as planned. The full announcement from the Duke of Richmond and the Festival of Speed Team follows.
