Driving the A523, Kush led a spectacular Alpine showcase up the hill, including the classic A110 Berlinette, the A110 R, the A290, the all-new A390, and the Alpenglow concept hyper-car.
Currently competing in FIA Formula 2, Kush was Alpine's sole representative at Thursday's Formula 1 demonstration alongside other F1 teams, as the festival marked 75 years of the sport.
The A523 was driven by Esteban Ocon and Pierre Gasly to fifth in the 2023 FIA Formula One Constructors' World Championship, achieving two impressive podiums in the Monaco and Dutch Grands Prix and third place in the Belgian Grand Prix Sprint Race..
The 2023 car was adorned in the team's 2025 livery with its striking blue and pink racing colours.
Owing to his commitment with Mahindra Racing's Formula E team at the Berlin Rookie Test, Kush's appearance at the Festival of Speed was short-lived..
Kush said, "What a drive it was taking on the Hill Climb in the A523 after sampling the E20 last year. Goodwood is definitely an event for the fans and I loved seeing people come out in numbers."
