In less than a week, the engines will be roaring on the Goodwood circuit. From 17 to 19 September, numerous drivers will give their best. The cars are often pushed to their limits, regardless of their historical and financial value.

That’s how we like to see it, because it is the excellent mix you get to see at the Revival that makes it so exciting.

From the moment you enter the Goodwood estate, you are catapulted straight back in time for 60 years. Everything breathes the 50s and 60s. If you have not been there yet, I can write what I want. The feeling on the spot is simply indescribable.

This edition, there are many celebrities who will participate in different races. We list some of them for you. We can expect Jenson Button, but also Jean Alesi, Tom Kristensen, Derek Bell, Freddie Spencer, Troy Corser, Richard Attwood, Jamie Chadwick, Martin Brundle and many others.

Three days, fifteen races, six parades and two pedal car races. So the agenda is already pretty full. But apart from the races, there is much more to experience. There are the fashion shows and the numerous reconstructed shops that contribute to the atmosphere. And they go far, from a hairdresser’s in the sixties to a complete supermarket. Nothing is too much at Goodwood Revival.

And then you have a whole section that is called ‘over the road’. You actually have to cross a bridge and then you end up in a kind of fairground with lots of stalls selling mainly car-related memorabilia. Looking for a mudguard, a headlight or an F1 tyre that some celebrity has used to do some circuit driving? No problem, you can find it here!

I would therefore like to invite you to follow the Revival on Goodwood’s website or Facebook.
