Popin x 3M at Goodwood Festival of Speed 2025
posted 9th July 2025
Wrapping in Style at the World’s Greatest Motoring Festival
What a weekend!
From 11-12 July 2025, Popin Graphics had the honour of exhibiting at the iconic Goodwood Festival of Speed as a proud 3M Select Partner, supporting the 3M team directly at their trade stand. The experience was electric from start to finish - an inspiring blend of motorsport, innovation, design, and community.
This year’s event was particularly special, marking the 75th anniversary of Formula 1, and drew a record-breaking crowd of over 200,000 attendees. With legends like Alain Prost, Nigel Mansell, and Sir Jackie Stewart gracing the paddocks and grandstands, the energy around the grounds was unmistakably turbocharged.
To be a part of something this big - representing world-class wrap materials with 3M, showcasing live wrap demos, and engaging with enthusiasts and industry pros alike - was not only a privilege but a memory we’ll carry proudly for years to come.

The 3M Stand: Live Wrap Battles, Fresh Vinyl, and a Whole Lot of Passion
Our corner of the festival may not have had the roar of a V10 engine, but it certainly had a crowd.
The 3M trade stand was alive with colour, craft, and competition, as we took centre stage for live vehicle wrap demonstrations using the latest 3M wrap films. Visitors had the chance to get up close and personal with the wrapping process - seeing first-hand how expertly formulated materials combine with precision and passion to transform a vehicle.
One of the highlights? Wrapping a hot-off-the-line vehicle right on the stand, live, using cutting-edge 3M films. From the subtle sheen of satin finishes to bold colour flips, we showcased just how versatile, durable, and beautiful these materials are.
And then came the wrap battles - fast-paced, hands-on competitions that turned heads and sparked conversations. These friendly face-offs put skill to the test and brought serious entertainment value to the stand.
For us at Popin, it was the perfect opportunity to share what we love, connect with enthusiasts and pros alike, and show the world what’s possible when technical expertise meets creative vision.
We love showing people that vehicle wrapping is both a craft and an artform. The energy at the stand was unreal, from the crowds at the opening to the demos to the wrap battles, all of it. It was hands-down one of our favourite events to date. - The Popin Graphics Team
The Event: Petrol-Powered Spectacle at Its Best
Beyond our stand, the festival served up its usual cocktail of motorsport adrenaline and visual drama.
From the roar of modern hypercars and historic F1 racers on the famous Goodwood Hillclimb, to the controlled chaos of the Forest Rally Stage, the weekend was a non-stop showcase of automotive brilliance. The Supercar Paddock was teeming with the latest innovations, while the newly launched New Classics Paddock gave restomods and reimagined legends their time in the spotlight.
The Future Lab area brought cutting-edge mobility tech to life, while live demonstrations from electric drift cars, endurance machines, and even prototypes made for a wildly varied and deeply inspiring weekend.
Wherever you turned, there was something to learn, admire, or marvel at.
The History of Goodwood: A Legacy of Speed and Style
Since launching in 1993, the Goodwood Festival of Speed has become the crown jewel of the motorsport calendar - not just in the UK, but globally.
Held on the historic Goodwood Estate in West Sussex, and curated by the Duke of Richmond, the festival has always stood at the intersection of innovation and tradition. It’s the only place where you’ll see a 1930s Grand Prix car share track space with a 2025 Formula E racer, and where legends from across motorsport generations meet fans face to face.
To be a part of this history - even for just two days - was an inspiring experience and signals the continued growth of skill, creativity and expertise that we proudly hold throughout the Popin team.
Thank You, Goodwood - Until Next Year!
We’d like to thank 3M for the incredible opportunity to represent their brand at one of the world’s most revered automotive festivals. Being part of their stand, alongside industry pioneers, wrap legends, and hundreds of passionate fans, was everything we hoped for and more.
A massive thank you to everyone who stopped by the stand, chatted with us, filmed the demos, and helped make our Goodwood showing so memorable. The conversations, the connections, and the shared love for cars and creativity made it a weekend to remember.
We’re heading back to Popin HQ full of enthusiasm and inspiration - and perhaps just a little sunburn - ready for the next chapter.
Until next year, Goodwood.
