Goodwood Revival

The Goodwood Festival of Speed might be the most popular car event of the British calendar, but the Revival is the most eclectic. Taking place annually in September, it combines motor-racing royalty, priceless classic cars and period, vintage clothing. Celebrating the original era in which the Goodwood Motor Circuit operated, from 1948-1966, only cars from this era can race. Guests are also required to dress in clothes from this time, while marshalls, mechanics and even advertising signs are period-correct also. This gives the weekend a real step-back-in-time feel, that’s bettered only by the intense racing on track.

The Goodwood Revival is the world’s greatest historic motor race meeting, and the only sporting event of its kind staged entirely in a period theme. This year’s Revival marks the first time that a historic motorsport event will include cars that use sustainable fuels in all races. Photo credit should read: John Nguyen/PA Wire
