The Goodwood Revival, set against the backdrop of the Goodwood Estate in West Sussex, is not just an event; it’s a portal to a bygone era. This spectacular festival, celebrated annually in September, revives the romance and glamour of motor racing as it used to be from the late 1940s through the 1960s. Here, classic car enthusiasts, dressed in period costumes, gather to witness vintage cars and motorcycles race around the historic Goodwood Motor Circuit.
The Goodwood Circuit opened in 1948 on the periphery of the Goodwood Estate, an airfield during World War II. It quickly became Britain’s leading racing venue. The Revival, inaugurated in 1998, marked the 50th anniversary of the original circuit, rekindling the spirit of its golden days.
Unlike any other event in the world, it exclusively features vehicles from the circuit’s original period, making it a unique celebration of both motorsport and mid-20th-century culture.
The Goodwood Revival is famous for its fiercely competitive racing with classic cars that once graced the tracks during its operational years. From the thunderous roar of the Ferrari 250 GTO to the sleek elegance of the Aston Martin DBR1, the event showcases a range of automobiles that have shaped racing history. The races are not mere exhibitions; they are full-blooded competitions, with drivers pushing their vintage machines to the limit.
Upon entering the Revival, you are instantly transported to the 1940s-60s. Spectators and participants alike embrace the spirit by donning period attire. You’ll find gentlemen in tweed, ladies in swing dresses, and even military uniforms from the era. It’s not just about the cars; it’s a complete historical immersion.
The Revival also features spectacular aerial displays, honouring Goodwood’s aviation heritage. Historic aircraft, including Spitfires and Hurricanes, take to the skies, providing a thrilling spectacle. Off the track, there’s a wealth of entertainment – from vintage fashion shows and live music to classic car auctions and dance lessons.
