Soon, Le Mans won’t be the only heritage-rich race track with a ferris wheel, and the Mugen CR-Z won’t be the only thing Honda will have on display at this year’s Goodwood Festival of Speed. See where this is heading?
For the upcoming British motoring festival, the Japanese automaker is building a giant ferris wheel called the Honda Eye. Measuring 40 meters (131 feet) in height, it’s hardly the largest in the world – in fact it’s only a third the size of the London Eye, or a quarter the size of the Singapore Flyer, currently the world’s largest at 165 meters (541 feet). But it should offer visitors to the Festival of Speed a unique vantage point on the festivities while taking the ten-minute ride in one of the wheels’ 24 gondolas.
