The Goodwood Revival the last weekend gave many thousands of motorsport fans the chance to go back in time and experience the golden years of the Goodwood Circuit – from 1948 to 1966.
A whole host of different races took place – as it does every year of the festival – each focused on one particular era of the circuit’s long and illustrious history.
One of the biggest races was the Royal Automobile Club TT Celebration, witnessed a range of cars with a combined value in excess of £100 million. Those who were lucky enough lucky enough to have tickets for this event, witnessed Ferrari 250 GTOs, Aston Martin DB4GTs and lightweight Jaguar E-types battle it out – among many other classics.
The Brooklands Trophy also be took place at Goodwood, reviving a truly classic race. Parading some glorious old examples from Bentley, Frazer-Nash and Mercedes.
There is always something unique at the Goodwood revival, and one of those is the Settrington Cup, which features 30 children pedaling Austin pedal cars. These cars were built between 1949 and 1971 and gave employment to disabled miners in Wales.
As each year passes, these cars get older and older, and yet they are so well looked after that they look and sound as good as they did back their day – with seldom a need to get vehicle recovery.
Located just outside Chichester, Goodwood is 60 miles from London and around 30 miles from Brighton and Southampton. For future dates and more details on how to get there, follow this link: http://www.goodwood.co.uk/revival/getting-here/getting-here-google.aspx
