Goodwood Revival
| |
Early September, the children go back to
school and summer is over for another year, but there's one last
blast to be had before we snuggle up for winter: the Goodwood
Revival.
The revival takes place in early to mid September every year and is
getting just as much attention for it's stocking clad attendees as
it's million pound racing cars. The Goodwood Revival relives the
glory days of Goodwood Motor Circuit which, along with Silverstone,
was Britain’s leading racing venue during its active years between
1948 and 1966. During this time it hosted contemporary racing of all
kinds, including Formula One, the famous Goodwood Nine Hours race
and the celebrated Tourist Trophy sports car race. |

At the Revival the circuit stages a
historic race meeting for the kind of cars and motorcycles that
would have competed at Goodwood during 1948-1966. The circuit echoes
to the spine-tingling bark of golden-age Grand Prix cars from the
Fifties and Sixties, thundering sports and GT cars, as well as
historic saloon cars and little-seen Formula Juniors. Many of these
important historic racing cars are driven by famous faces from motor
sport past and present. Sir Stirling Moss, John Surtees, Sir Jack
Brabham, Phil Hill, Derek Bell, David Coulthard, Damon Hill, Johnny
Herbert, Wayne Gardner, Giacomo Agostini and the late, great Barry
Sheene have all taken part at the Revival.
