The Goodwood Festival of Speed has fast become the biggest event in the UK motoring calendar. With no British Motorshow, it takes centre stage for all manner of things. From the latest car launches, to the start of Denise Van Outen and her Febreze Roadtrip. Yes, you read that right.
Three drivers have set off around Europe on a series of challenges to test the dura and smell-ability of Febreze air fresheners. First up, they headed to a farm where the challenge was to clean out the pigs and re-bed them by carrying hay in the back of their cars. Smelly work? Without doubt. Febreze air fresheners up to the challenge? Well, let’s hope so for their sake.
The team is now driving through Germany as they are over half of the way through their 18-day road trip from smell. Special guests and passengers will join them to judge the smell of their cars.
The lovely Denise Van Outen said: “I was thrilled to be asked to be the first surprise passenger on the ‘Febreze Roadtrip’, and it’s been great fun watching the Drivers set off in the Moving Motor Show at Goodwood Festival of Speed.“
You can follow all the action and challenges in a series of web shows on youtube.com/febrezeuk
and using the hashtag #drivehappy across social media. We will also post our favourite videos of the trip on this page, so keep us bookmarked and let us know your smelliest car encounter!
