Ignition specialist NGK Spark Plugs attracted vast crowds to its Pavilion at the recent iconic Goodwood Festival of Speed.

The supplier of original-equipment spark plugs, glow plugs and NTK sensors took its place alongside many of the World’s leading vehicle manufacturers and motorsport teams and stars at the four-day event in Sussex.

Triple World Speedway champion Greg Hancock was the star guest on the NGK Pavilion where he met fans and signed autographs before becoming the first Speedway rider to take part in the famous Goodwood Hill Climb.

NGK has sponsored Greg for a number of years, supplying its specialist Iridium racing plugs which he uses on his 500cc motorcycles, one of which was featured on the company’s stand at Goodwood alongside the legendary NGK-sparked Lotus Type 79 F1 car and other iconic vehicles.

Mark Hallam, NGK Spark Plugs Marketing Manager, said the event was a huge success, “It was fantastic. As a major component supplier to many of the vehicle manufacturers and motorsport teams who exhibited at Goodwood we felt it was important to have a presence at the show. We attracted a lot of interest from not only our customers, but also the general public at large. Our interactive competitions were incredibly popular and we were inundated with young gamers who wanted to take part in the hill climb.”
